In this intimate memoir, professional athlete Rosie Black opens up for the first time sharing her incredible journey from a shy, introverted girl to champion fastpitch softball pitcher with The Queen and Her Court, entertaining thousands all over the world. While the backdrop is an unbelievable 25-year career rising to the top of her field and highlighting many achievements in the sports world; the emphasis of Behind the Queen's Smile is on the very personal and raw retelling of behind-the-scenes happenings that led to a heart wrenching darkness of the soul. Honest. Humorous. Captivating. Challenging. This book deals with subjects such as child abuse, addictions, suicide, and forgiveness. While working through her struggle, Rosie finds answers to many questions that are relevant in today's world. How do we find an identity that won't come crashing down when we're not welcomed with applause everyday...when fame and achievement disappear...when we lose our jobs...when divorce happens...when our children leave the nest? How do we build again after being broken? Rosie's book is about restoration and transformation, growing faith and a hope that will never fail.
