Under the Lights and in the Dark: Untold Stories of Women's Soccer takes an unprecedented look inside the lives of professional football players around the world from precarious positions in underfunded teams and leagues, to soldout stadiums and bright lights. Awardwinning filmmaker and journalist Gwendolyn Oxenham tells the stories of the phenoms, underdogs, and nobodies players willing to follow the game wherever it takes them.Under the Lights and in the Dark takes us inside the world of women's soccer, following players across the globe, from Portland Thorns star Allie Long, who trains in an underground men's league in New York City; to English national Fara Williams, who hid her homelessness from her teammates while playing for the English national team. Oxenham takes us to Voronezh, Russia, where players battle more than just snowy pitches in pursuing their dream of playing pro, and to a refugee camp in Denmark, where Nadia Nadim, now a Danish international star, honed her skills after her family fled from the Taliban.Whether you're a newcomer to the sport or a diehard fan, this is an inspiring book about stars' beginnings and adventures, struggles and hardship, and, above all, the timehonored romance of the game.
