Fifteen-year-old Lindsey Grace Holiday can't wait to trade in her backpack for a driver's permit-an emblem of freedom she's dreamed about ever since she arrived in California as an eager six-year-old from Mexico. But with her adoptive mom, soccer legend Lauren Holiday, traveling the world and living in the spotlight, Lindsey worries that every milestone might be postponed. As she juggles chores at home, the roar of the stadium in her ear, and the bittersweet tug of her Mexican roots, Lindsey finds unexpected allies in Lauren's teammates-Alex Morgan, Sofía Huerta, Carli Lloyd-who share her first language and welcome her into a circle of laughter, late-night chats, and unguarded moments. When Lindsey discovers she can switch between English and Spanish like changing gears in her mind, she realizes her true journey has only just begun-and that belonging can be found wherever love, family, and the beautiful game come together.
