Description
Danny's life is defined by his baseball pitch - 95 miles per hour and powerful. But he's not part of any team. His private school doesn't expect much from him, and growing up in San Diego, everyone else knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. As a half-Mexican boy, Danny struggles to find his place. He's convinced it's his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico, so he spends the summer with his dad's family. But facing his demons and finding himself may require him to open up to a friendship he never saw coming. This moving story offers hope to those who least expect it, exploring self-identity in a gritty and honest way.
