The Coach’s Daughter
By Wandra Daniel McGowan

In the aftermath of a heartbreaking job loss, my daddy finds hope in coaching his old high school basketball team. But, when fate strikes another blow, can my family survive the circumstances? Thrust into a web of deceit, my daddy gets the shock of life!

The Coach's Daughter, an intriguing and heart-warming novel, is narrated through the voice of a 12- year-old girl, Angel, whose Angelic-character and wit become the glue that keeps the family focused in order to embrace the heart-wrenching challenges that the family endures. The story is told through the eyes of Angel, the couple’s 12-year-old daughter, who happens to have an unpleasant habit-- eavesdropping on her parents. Even though her mother has warned her many times about her annoying habit, Angel discovers her father, Marcus Thomas, has been dismissed from his managerial position at the University for no apparent reason; a secret her parents wanted to keep from Angel and her younger brother, Mike.

Angel’s wit is inherited from the bosom of her maternal grandmother Mildred. It is her grandmother Mildred who gives her the name “The Coach’s Daughter.” Grandmother Mildred not only gives Angel her inspired wit, but she also serves as the family comforter when there is the need for a shoulder to cry upon.

As Angel watches her father’s moods change like night and day, she becomes alarmed when her father sinks deeper into depression. She witnesses his downward spiral as he tries to cope with the loss of his job and the real reason he was terminated. Angel’s greatest fear is losing the father she loves dearly.

The story is filled with unexpected twists and turns as Angel sees her father lose his job, change careers, and later become one of the best coaches, in every sense of the word. It is Angel who encourages her father to consider coaching, and it is Angel who helps the team prepare for the College Entrance exam and a life beyond the basketball courts. This is a story of inspiration, love and family and it will keep the reader engaged until the end.

“I truly enjoyed the story and the unusual plot twist. The fact that the book was narrated through the eyes of a 12-year old child, gave it that special touch that will make this novel a “MUST READ” for Sunday school groups, Children’s in Youth homes, Step-families and all families.”

“The Coach’s Daughter is an engaging novel that supports academic standards for athletes. I read the words (that you attributed to Coach Thomas) that expressed indignation because the required GPA did not meet college entrance requirements. Coach Thomas made a very convincing argument about a subject that is dear to me.”

“The Coach's Daughter is full of unexpected twists and turns that will keep you longing for the outcome of each scenario in this family's life. It's a wildly intriguing ride that is tempered with sobering topics, warm interludes, and even frankly spiritual journeys for the characters. Readers are enveloped by this family's love and warmth as well as by the family's strength and resilience. The beautiful balance between the nurturing, benevolent mother and the strong, forthright father provides a solid base for the family and a good foundation for the main storyline. Expect to be entertained, blessed, and to get a little of the unexpected from this exquisite novel, delivered to the reader through the eyes of a bright, charming little girl."
