Lost Haven tells the story of Sharon Taylor, from student athlete to successful coach and athletics administrator. Taylor brought glory to Lock Haven University in the form of multiple national championships, prestige from her national and international leadership roles in advocating for gender equity in sports, and recognition for her work in the trenches to help bring about Title IX legislation, which guaranteed women's rights in all facets of education. But forty years after its passage, Title IX compliance is still ignored, even at the highest levels of university administrations. Walters follows the trail of Title IX violations from Lock Haven to Fresno State, to Florida Gulf Coast University and back to Lock Haven again. When the narrative ends, the reader will have encountered sexism, misogyny, homophobia, retaliation, persecution, rape, drugs, perjury, multi-million dollar court settlements, student assaults by coaches, and high-level cover-ups. Take the journey; discover the price women have paid to claim their fair share of Title IX entitlements. - courtesy of Goodreads
