When a twelve-year-old girl wants to play baseball with the boys, she's lucky to have the help of a former Major Leaguer who has the power to change her life forever. Escaping to the empty baseball fields across the street from the military housing in which she lives, Billie is content to throw a ball against the wall, pitching imaginary games with no one around - until she meets Jimmy Parks, the man who maintains the fields. Not only does the long-retired Major Leaguer teach Billie and her new friends how to play baseball the right way, he and the other older coaches also teach the team about life in this story of breaking barriers - and breaking through to do what you were always meant to do. A portion of the proceeds from this book goes to support youth baseball. For more information, go to LeeSilber.com/charity.
