(PRLeap.com) The Girl with the Golden Foot, a new book by Margie Campbell, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

As a freshman in her local Catholic high school, Raffe is a little envious of the additional attention her public-school brothers have when it comes to football. Their father being the coach, he seems to treat Raffe as just a girl and her brothers as football stars. But a chance encounter during a training session proves to them all that Raffe has an extraordinary kicking talent, and a plan is hatched to disguise her as a boy to be the incredibly talented kicker they need to win the season.

A coming-of-age story set in the 1970s, The Girl with the Golden Foot is a story of one teen girl on a journey of discovery and harnessing her talents in the male-dominated realm of football.
