Weezie Kerr Mackey grew up in a suburb of Chicago, where she began her sports career. Later, while studying English literature at Trinity College in Connecticut, she continued her athletics, playing field hockey, squash, and softball. After college, she took a job teaching P.E. and coaching girls' field hockey, soccer, and softball at the Greenhill School in Dallas, which became the inspiration for Ella's story in Throwing Like a Girl, her first novel. Equipped with an MFA in creative writing, she now writes, works, and lives in Wilmette, Illinois, with her husband and their two sons. Visit the author's Web site: http: //www.weeziekerrmackey.com.
