She's an orphan
He's got more family than he needs
She's a legend in the world of cheer
He's the best pitcher in the region
Blakely has night terrors about death
Jaiden had night terrors about living
They are so different. Polar opposites from each other. When fate plays a cruel joke on Blakely, she is forced to move from her historic and largely populated town of Franklin, Tn to small and rural Roanoke IL. While she's there she learns that you shouldn't live your life according to the threat death gives, but because you never know when that threat will be a reality.
And it all started on a chilly night out on the mound.
