Description

A powerful exploration of addiction and its effects on young lives is at the heart of this novel. When a car crash sidelines Mickey just before softball season, she turns to painkillers to cope with her physical pain and find comfort in her role as catcher. As Mickey navigates the pressures of her team's historic tournament run, her reliance on pills grows, and so does the danger. With a new circle of friends by her side, Mickey finds moments of peaceful acceptance, but the line between pain relief and addiction becomes increasingly blurred. This thought-provoking novel sheds light on the complexities of substance abuse and the struggles of those affected, offering a necessary and unflinching portrayal of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
