Description

From the time she was 4, when her father took her to the Portland Meadows horse track, Liz Orton has spent much of her life in grandstands. As the wife of prep basketball coach Doug Orton and the mother of a handful of outstanding athletes/coaches-and not one but two Miss Oregons-she's seen it all. Now, Liz takes center court herself to share stories of everything from driveway one-on-ones to Final Fours. "Life in the Stands" is honest, courageous, and evocative, a book that will unlock sports memories of all who've sat in the stands like Liz.
