Set during World War II in 1945 Yuba City, California, this middle grade novel follows nine-year-old Maria Singh as she dreams of joining the first girls' softball team inspired by her teacher, Miss Newman. As her Indian and Mexican parents face increasing prejudice and discriminatory laws threaten their farm, Maria must find her voice and resilience in an often unfair world. Award-winning author Uma Krishnaswami highlights a lesser-known chapter of American history with a story of courage, community, and multicultural identity.
