Join us for Lunch Bunch with Marjorie Herrera Lewis, author of When the Men Were Gone, a historical fiction novel inspired by the remarkable true story of Tylene Wilson, a woman who coached football in Brownwood, Texas, during World War II.Marjorie will share the story behind her debut novel and the real-life woman who stepped onto the football field while so many men were away serving their country. Discover the history, sacrifice, resilience, and love of the game woven throughout Tylene’s story.
As a former Dallas Cowboys beat writer, Marjorie brings her own lifelong connection to football to the story. Like Tylene, she shared a special love of football and baseball with her father, creating a personal connection that helped inspire this unforgettable tale.
Come hear how one woman’s extraordinary story became a novel about courage, perseverance, family, and the unexpected ways our passions can shape our lives.
