"...an inspiring exploration of young women in sports as well as interpersonal and familial dynamics rooted in tradition and expectations." -The BookLife Prize, Critic's Report "Undeniably clever.... A warm, sharply observed coming-of-age story with a strong Latina at its center." -Kirkus Review for Book 1, Lupe Throws Like a Girl Selina Andrade has the swing to go pro-if her world doesn't fall apart first. In the stormy heart of Monterrey, Mexico, Selina's dreams reach beyond the shadow of her brother's baseball legacy. She wants a future in softball, one she might actually control. When she's recruited by Coach Lupe to play on a U.S. team, it feels like everything she's ever wanted is finally within reach. But ambition isn't enough when you're caught between cultures, secrets, and pressure from every side-family, tradition, even love. Coach Lupe is fighting her own ghosts, determined not to let another girl slip through the cracks. As past traumas and present tensions rise, Selina and Lupe must confront what it means to lead, to sacrifice, and to believe in something bigger than themselves. Two generations. One game. Can they play through the storm before it tears everything apart?
