About This Book

Ryan Walsh skips her usual high school struggles to visit Wrigley Field, the place filled with memories of her late father and their shared love for baseball. On the anniversary of his passing, she finds new hope and a surprising friendship with Nick, a classmate who shares her passion but hides a past that challenges the idea of fresh starts. Together, they explore healing, hope, and the possibility that this could be Ryan's year to shine again.
