O knihe

One woman. One team. A world of possibilities. After her father is killed in an accident, eleven-year-old Izzy Dominguez throws herself into the game they both loved, but she can't fulfill his wish and never becomes a college softball star. Now, thirteen years later, she toils as a reporter for a failing magazine called Mature Living. Izzy wants to be a serious writer someday but, like the magazine, that dream is dying too. Worst of all, if she can't keep her job, or find another one quick, her sick mother will have to sell their family's restaurant in the Bronx, the only piece of her dad Izzy has left. Enter the Aging Bulls, a senior men's softball team from Walnut Gap, New Jersey, a hard-drinking, foul-mouthed, over-the-hill squad of screwballs-and Izzy's best chance to change her fate. When her boss sends her on a last-minute road trip to cover the Bulls in a Las Vegas tournament, Izzy discovers the players aren't who they seem, and the days keep getting weirder. She wants to quit the assignment and go back to New York, but her plan is plagued with a paradox: only by staying with the team in Sin City will she ever find her way home.
