About the Book
An Enticing World Revealed - “Living Two Lives” is an intimate glimpse inside the enticing world of an Oregon women’s roller derby league, the Sick Town Derby Dames. Gathered over three years, it reveals the elation of competitive skating, the grueling work required and the joyful costumes and parties that abound in the roller derby world.
The picture that unfolds is one of women committed to an ideal of being true to themselves and living in freedom. As one skater puts it, every athlete who shows up is accepted, and the only requirement is that each person be willing to work her guts out.
“Living Two Lives” shows why the bumper sticker, “Roller Derby Saved My Soul,” has deep meaning for the skaters.
