A Season Of Daring Greatly

A Season Of Daring Greatly by Ellen Emerson White, 420 pages

Jill Cafferty is the first woman drafted into Major League Baseball.  Jill has always been a terrific pitcher and she’s excited but apprehensive.  She’s not sure if she’s really good enough.  She misses her dad, who dies a couple of years ago.  She’s just graduated high school and she wonders if she should have gone to college first instead.  When she’s playing the game, she loves it, but the responsibility weighs on her all of the time she isn’t playing.  This was a really awesome story, both about baseball and about a young girl coming of age.  I would recommend it highly, especially to female teens.
