But after Ellie turns 12 and her father spirals into a deep depression, Ellie can't help but blame herself. So when the time comes, she packs up her bags, goes to the University of Georgia and cheers on her Atlanta Braves, leaving her small town of Bell, Florida long behind her. But what happens when her father needs her to come back home? And what about the cocky new minor league player who just doesn't get how things are down in central Florida? Ellie needs to find the happy place she and her father once were in before its too late. For the sake of baseball.
