Book Cover & Preview Text
As Strut left the dugout and walked to the plate, she yelled out to Bonnie on the mound “good to see you again, Poke.” Bonnie replied, “good to see you, Strut.” Then Strut put on a hitting display pounding the balls into the gaps in the outfield at will. It wouldn’t matter who was pitching. Strut could hit any pitcher she faced. The reports flowed through the sporting community that even at the freshman level, colleges were looking at Strut as a candidate for college scholarships.

About the Book
This story is about two teenage ladies who were fierce competitors on the field and how God turned a bad situation into a good one. As the ladies encountered life’s struggles, they found peace clinging to their faith in Christ and each other. We hope this short story brings a smile to your face and warms your heart.
About the Author
This project was undertaken to help my Granddaughter Eliza, understand the process of writing a book, and becoming a published author. We placed the story on paper, worked together on the editing and rewrites, and worked on selecting a publisher to get our book into publication. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with my granddaughter on this project and how she was able to squeeze me and the “book work times” in-between softball practices, softball games, volleyball practices and social events with friends. We did it and believe Eliza now enjoys the product she helped create.
