Rory is a talented and dedicated softball player.

The only distraction in her life is her father's decline due to ALS, but he remains her biggest supporter. But softball plans get a lot more interesting when mainlander Shanti comes to stay with her grandparents for the summer--and the two fall into a fast romance. Between her pitching aspirations, her father's health, and trying to date Shanti, Rory's focus may be spread too thin. With pressure building on all fronts, will she choose the game or the girl? With support from Shanti and her softball team, Rory learns that sometimes you have to make tough decisions about what you care about most.
