Confessions of a She-Fan

Praise

“This is a Donna Quixote story about a cynical Yankee fan who spends a season traveling the country going to ball games and who in the end regains the joy, the magic, and the faith in her beloved team. Along the way, Yankee fans will fall in love with ‘the Yankees’ number one fan,’ Jane Heller.” —Peter Golenbock, author of the New York Times bestsellers Dynasty and The Bronx Zoo

“A book for those of us men who thought women didn’t get sports…. A delightful, insightful ride on the Yankee Clipper. ” —James Burrows, Emmy Award–winning director of Cheers and Will & Grace

“Jane Heller knocks it out of the park with Confessions of a She-Fan. In 1978, I discovered the Yankees (mostly I discovered Ron Guidry). I was hooked and have been ever since. My 1-year-old daughter is already in pinstriped onesies. I can understand perfectly the passion of a fellow ‘she-fan.’ ” —Kit Golden, producer of the Academy Award–nominated Chocolat

“Confessions of a She-Fan is a love story about baseball and a baseball story about love–one of the most unusual and delightful books about a true fan’s connection to the game I’ve ever read. It’s impossible to read without smiling out loud!” —David Fisher, coauthor with Terry Bradshaw of the New York Times bestseller It’s Only a Game

“Confessions of a She-Fan is stream-of-consciousness from someone who’s both a passionate Yankee fan and a terrific writer. It’s laugh-out-loud funny and it also moves you to tears.” —John Sterling

“Forget A-Rod. The one really suffering a “Single White Female” obsession with the Yankees is chick-lit author Jane Heller. She was so distraught with the losing ways of the 2007 Bombers, she vowed to “divorce the team on grounds of mental cruelty.” Instead, she wound up following the Yanks on the road, husband by her side, trying to get insight into her fandom and fans in general. Now, as Heller finds herself competing on the bookshelves with her team’s ex-manager, she gives us a couple of reasons why fans should select her book over his: ‘I didn’t hire someone to write my book for me’ and ‘Torre’s book is deadly serious. Mine has jokes. In this economy, we fans need a laugh.” —Billy Heller, New York Post
