A novella based on Kathy Murphy’s experience coaching an underdog cheerleading squad in Germany. In 1996, Kathy traveled overseas to follow her passion of cheering, escaping the racial bias she was experiencing in the states. She brings her experience as a coach from her time as a member The Ohio State University National Championship Cheerleading Team, to a group of German girls.
This story is not about cheering but rather believing in your convictions and finding that voice to articulate what you want. She uplifts a group of girls to the top, and along the way finally she finds her home.

When I heard that Martha Hall Kelly had created a novella for Audible Originals, I knew I had to listen to it. I read her first book Lilac Girls last year and really loved it. The Munich Cowboys Cheerleaders is a very different story from Lilac Girls, but if you like Kelly’s writing style, you’ll likely enjoy this one too.
The Munich Cowboys Cheerleaders is at its core a story about hard work and perseverance, and also building the life you want. Prior to listening to this story, I had no idea that American football and cheerleading had become popular in Germany in the 1990s. I liked following the path of the cheerleaders, despite obstacles they had to overcome, and I liked that Kathy Murray, the coach, coauthored the novella—it is her story, after all! This is a story with heart and is a quick listen at right around 2.5 hours.
