Black Gold by Teresa Edwards
A Review By: NJH
Teresa Edwards has won more Olympic medals than any other basketball player in history with four golds and one bronze. She is the youngest woman to win a gold medal in basketball—and the oldest. She’s a WNBA pioneer and has been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Now, for the first time, she shares the story of her greatest loss—and her most incredible victory. She tells the inside story of laboring in the shadow of Michael, Magic, Bird and Sir Charles—the men’s basketball "Dream Team"—and how she helped lead the USA women’s basketball squad to a golden dream of their own at the Atlanta Olympic Games. This is about more than basketball. This is an inspiring tale of what it costs to lose, what it takes to win, and how women can lead the way.
