Produktbeschreibung

In the small town of Lewis Creek, baseball is everything. Especially for all-star pitcher Austin Braxton, who has a one-way ticket out of town with his scholarship to a top university. All that stands between him and a new start is one final season. But when Austin starts flunking Chemistry, his picture-perfect future is in jeopardy. A failing grade means zero playing time, and zero playing time means no scholarship. Enter Marisa Marlowe, the new girl in town who gets a job at his momma's flower shop. Not only is Marisa some home-schooled super-genius, she's also a baseball fanatic and more than willing to help Austin study. As the two grow closer, there's something about Marisa that makes Austin want more than just baseball and out of Lewis Creek--he wants a future with her. But Marisa has a past that still haunts her, one that she ran all the way to South Carolina to escape. As Austin starts to peel back the layers of Marisa's pain, it forces him to look beyond the façade of himself and everyone he thought he knew in his town. What he sees instead is that in a small town like Lewis Creek, maybe baseball isn't everything--maybe it is just the thing that ties them all together.

Autorenporträt

Michelle Smith was born and raised in England during the 1970s and is one of five siblings. Her parents divorced when she was twelve years of age and her mother was left to raise her and her siblings. At an early age Michelle, along with her siblings, were introduced to a wealth of literature by her mother and were encouraged to read books. Her mother created a mini library in the family home, which would later on have an impact on Michelle's' ability to adapt to various forms of creative writing. Driven by her mother's passion of literature, she began to write storybooks for her younger siblings and wrote her first poem by the tender age of seven. Her passion for poetry increased as she viewed the changing world and those around her.
