520 |a 1952, Detroit, Michigan. Bertha Harding dreams of baseball. She reads every story in the sports section, she plays ball with the neighborhood boys; she even writes letters to the pitcher for the Workington Sweet Peas, part of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. When her father is accused of being part of the Communist Party by the House Un-American Activities Committee, life comes crashing down on the family. Disgraced and shunned, the Hardings move to a small town to start over where the only one who knows them is their Uncle Matthew. When Bertha gets a chance to try out for the Workington Sweet Peas, she packs her bags for an adventure she'll never forget. Her sister Flossie remains with their mother, learning to deal with their new life. -- adapted from back cover and perusal of book
