When Two Wrongs Don't make a Right

Fourteen-year-old Avery Rae Ertz has lived in two worlds-born in Germany, and adopted into an American home, fluent in a language of German and English that echoes her divided heart. At home, she's Julie's spirited daughter, navigating the comfort of dinners and the sometimes awkward dance of fitting in. On the field, she's a fierce midfielder whose explosive talent propels her straight into the ranks of U. Women's Youth National Team. As the pressure of elite competition collides with teenage doubts about identity and belonging, Avery must learn to trust her instincts-both in play and in life. Between locker-room friendships, the roar of the crowd, and whisper of two languages in her head, she discovers that true victory isn't just about scoring goals, but about forging a place where she can finally feel whole.
