With everything she loves on the line, she faces the ultimate challenge…

Haunted by her missing father and wishing her family would treat her like an adult, the seventeen-year-old pitcher is most alive when she’s zipping the ball past opposing batters.

Battling to keep her grades up and deal with a jealous rival pitcher on her new team, River has to dig deep to excel against the elite-level competition. But when tragedy strikes, and a suspension she doesn't deserve fractures the squad, she turns to her enigmatic tutor and discovers a secret that might be exactly what she needs to get back on the mound.
