身為黑人女孩，Charley 想成為職業棒球選手的夢，在1920年代的美國南方並不被允許。她的祖父用一則則勇敢祖先的故事激勵她追夢，但真正的現實卻藏在家人不願開口的過去。一次教會野餐上的球賽與爭執，讓 Charley 作出一個改變命運的選擇。Kwame Alexander 以細膩筆觸刻畫歷史、家庭與少女的渴望與掙扎，不只是棒球，也是在說一段跨越代際與偏見的勇氣與理解。
A Coretta Scott King Honor Book
Set during the turbulent segregation era, Kwame Alexander weaves a spellbinding story of struggle, determination and the unflappable faith of an American family. Twelve-year-old Charley is set on becoming the first female pitcher to play professional baseball, even if that's a lofty dream for a Black girl in the American South in the 1920s. Even so, her grandfather Kofi's thrilling stories about courageous ancestors and epic journeys make it impossible not to dream big.
She knows he has so much more to tell, but according to her parents, she isn't old enough to know about certain things, like what happened to Booker Preston that one night in Great Bridge, and why she can never play on the brand-new baseball field on the other side of town. When Charley challenges a neighbourhood bully to a game at the church picnic, she knows she can win, even with her ragtag team. Then a dispute on the field leads to Charley making a fateful decision, one that will bring consequences she never could have imagined.
