Feldy's Girl (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983557203)

Teresa Feldevert has grown up a local celebrity in State City, Iowa: the daughter of a sometimes adored, sometimes despised football legend. As a student at State University, in the late 1960s, Teresa is almost too good to be true: pretty, serious, religious, overachieving, and constantly optimistic. She's working toward a career in broadcast journalism-or music, she's not sure which-and she's as smart and strategic as a winning football coach. She's also dating the State University Rivercats' star quarterback, making friends with the leaders of the New Left movement on campus, getting involved in a sordid murder case, and learning more than she had ever expected to know about the intrigues and power struggles inherent to athletics and politics.Feldy's Girl is the story of a young woman coping with the many societal changes of her time: the sexual revolution; racial tensions; the Vietnam war; the evolving role of academia. Teresa is flawed but perfectionistic, self-confident but self-doubting-often perplexed by her personal relationships and the tough questions that arise when traditional and modern values conflict.
