(3) 4-6 In chapters alternating between "this summer" and "last summer," when her beloved older sister died, talented pitcher Quinnen works through her family's unresolved grief. Having quit baseball, Quinnen initially resents the minor league ballplayer boarding in their home, but her love of the game gradually rekindles as she processes her loss. Bishop's solid debut is an engaging mix of family drama and baseball.
