Little Women was as valued as The Dead Zone. With no grounding in Literature per se, she made no distinction between the classics and modern fiction. When domestic troubles led to unpleasant upheaval during her adolescence, the Rock Island Public Library became her refuge.
A reader since age four, she often abused her library privileges by keeping favorite books out just a little too long. Her passion for baseball was exceeded only by her love of books. Thanks to the implementation of Title IX legislation and her father’s willingness to fight on her behalf, Therese became one of the first girls in the U.S. An avowed tomboy, Therese thwarted her grandmother’s determined attempts to dress her in frills-and, to further her point, insisted on playing baseball despite her town having a perfectly good girls’ softball league. Therese Anne Fowler ( pronounced ta-reece) is the author of severl books, including: A Good Neighborhood (2020), A Well Behaved Woman: A Novel of the Vanderbilts 2018),and Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald (2013).įowler is the third child and only daughter of a couple who raised their children in Milan, Illinois.
