Layer Upon Layer

By DeeDee Horton 

Under the guise of a fictional sports narrative, Layer Upon Layer invites readers
to explore important personal questions while sharing one woman’s journey to
find her answers. It powerfully illuminates the importance of mentorship and
positive female role models for all.

The book’s heroine, Sam, grows up in a family and community culture that
seemingly seeks to undermine her love for basketball. It is only through the
influence of a mentor that she stays true to her personal goals. This motivates
her to mentor others, hoping to pass on the same gift of encouragement. Twenty
years later, Sam is a college basketball coach, guiding a player through a
personal crisis. During this experience, Sam realizes she has been mentoring
young women on their journey to self-acceptance while neglecting her own. 

Layer Upon Layer is more than just a book. It illuminates complex issues without
judgment or blame, sharing a narrative that allows readers to ask questions and
deepen their understanding of the persistent challenges women face today.
