Freshman guard for the Flagler Saints women’s basketball team Charlsea Owen aspires to be a player her team can count on. Owen is a St. Augustine native who grew up watching Flagler athletics. She started playing basketball at age five and graduated from Pedro Menendez High School in St. Augustine.

Owen was introduced to basketball when her neighbor asked her to rebound for her. She would always walk across the lawn and rebound, which helped her launch a basketball career. Her biggest inspiration to play basketball was her middle school coach.

From the moment you read that first sentence, Alice Sebold captures your attention in her most recent book, “The Almost Moon.” Like her earlier novel, “Lovely Bones,” and her memoir, “Lucky,” Sebold’s third book is just as graphic and violent. All three take dark, overlooked subjects and bring them up front and center.
