"Twelve-year-old Charley Cuffey is a lot of things: a granddaughter, a best friend to Cool Willie Green, and probably the best pitcher in all of Jones Mill. She knows a lot of things, too: like how her dreams of playing professional ball are lofty for a girl, and how unfair it is that she ins't allowed to play on the brand-new real-deal baseball field on the other side of town. And she's sure that her parents are hiding something from her, even if she doesn't know what it is yet. But Charley wants to know more and be more, and if she's learned anything from her grandfather's riveting stories about stolen legacies and brave ancestors, it's the importance of having the audacity to dream big.
