The novel little girls in pretty boxes by Joan Ryan challenged me in more ways than one. It was hard to read about the sport I love get exposed horrifically. The title explains it all, little girls who have big dreams turned into robots and stuffed into society’s image of “perfect”. One who never contributed to the sport in one way or another does not understand the grueling process of becoming everything the coaches and parents would want you to be.
