El entusiasmo y la energ a que Carmen Alicia Morales pone en todo lo que emprende se refleja en este libro que ahora ofrece a sus lectores. Una obra realizada a partir de un intenso trabajo de investigaci n en el que se han combinado los recursos de la Psicolog a con los de la Historia. La autora, partiendo de una clara teor a que se expone en el primer cap tulo, aborda la psicobiograf a de Isabel I de Castilla siguiendo el transcurrir vital de esta destacada mujer a lo largo de las distintas etapas de su vida, desde el nacimiento en Madrigal de las Altas Torres hasta su muerte en Medina del Campo. Para realizarlo ha visitado archivos y bibliotecas, ha utilizado documentos originales y escritos de otros historiadores, y sobre todo ha recorrido los lugares isabelinos. Es en esta parte de su trabajo donde queda patente la agudeza y la originalidad investigadora de la autora, que ha sabido realizar ese viaje por muy diferentes lugares de la Castilla del siglo XV con una mirada atenta y un o do abierto a los sonidos del entorno. As la luz, el canto de los p jaros o el ta ir de las campanas se convierten en fuentes de informaci n, lo mismo que los diferentes y cambiantes colores de los pueblos y los campos por los que transcurri la vida la reina Cat lica. --Isabel Del Val Valdivieso-- --Catedr tica de Historia Medieval -- --Universidad de Valladolid, Espa a--
A very good read. It is not only about a baseball player in the AAGPBL, but also about a young Latino woman who makes good in America.-Lance Smith, Guy Who Reviews Sports BooksKat D. Williams traces Isabel “Lefty” Alvarez’s life from her childhood in Cuba, where she played baseball with the boys on the streets of El Cerro, to her reinvention as a professional baseball player and American citizen. Isabel “Lefty” Alvarez gives the reader a look into Alvarez’s young life in Cuba during the turbulent years leading up to Castro’s revolution, as political differences tore families apart. Alvarez came to the United States at fifteen, speaking no English, and experienced the challenge of immigration as her mother pushed her to become a professional athlete in her newly adopted country. Through all the changes and upheaval, Alvarez found acceptance and success as a player in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, where she was called “the Rascal of El Cerro.” After the league ended, Alvarez struggled with an undiagnosed learning disability that limited her options. She persevered and reinvented herself as a factory worker but later battled alcoholism and depression until baseball returned to her life and she was able to reconnect with her former teammates and become part of the active community of former players. Alvarez’s life story illustrates the struggle and strength of a young Latina immigrant and the importance of sport to her transition to her new country and her enduring identity.
