"Course Correction" by Ginny Gilder

I received "Course Correction" by Ginny Gilder through the Library Thing Early Reviewers program.  I love history, sports, legal issues, etc., and so was intrigued by this book.  On the positive side, I found the rowing details fascinating, as well as the general Title IX equality struggles.  The high points are those involving her parents and their family problems - something to which we can all relate.  Very moving stuff.  Unfortunately the book contains far too much amateur psychology and too many rah-rah self-help platitudes for my taste.  I also think the author glosses over her end-of-the-book life choice considering how many others it likely effected.  Good for her that she made the choice, just treat it with the gravity it deserved.  In the end  the book was a bit of a disappointment, but probably still worth the read.
