Summary

The inspiring, unlikely story of the American, Canadian, South Korean, and even North Korean women who joined together to form Korea’s first Olympic ice hockey team.

Two weeks before the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics, South Korea’s women’s hockey team was forced into a predicament that no president, ambassador, or general had been able to resolve in the 65 years since the end of the Korean War. Against all odds, the group of young women were able to bring North and South Korea closer than ever before.

The team was built for this moment. They had been brought together from across the globe and from a wide variety of backgrounds - concert pianist, actress, high school student, convenience store worker - to make history. Now, the special kinship they had developed would guide them through the biggest challenge of their careers. Suddenly thrust into an international spotlight, they showed the powerful meaning of what a unified Korea could resemble.

In A Team of Their Own, Seth Berkman goes behind the scenes to tell the story of these young women as they became a team amid immense political pressure and personal turmoil and ultimately gained worldwide acceptance on a journey that encapsulates the truest meanings of sport and family.

Heartwarming and educational

This book had me tearing up multiple times with how heartwarming it was. I enjoyed learning about hockey and the history and culture of the Korean peninsula. The stories about the individual players were diverse and inspiring. I'm now going to start going to women's hockey games here in Finland where I live!
