This was not my normal kind of story! I normally don’t read novels about juvenile characters or sports. For some reason, I really connected with this story.

Ginny loves basketball! But she starts having health problems and learns she has juvenile diabetes. I thought it was emotional and the challenges that came up were interesting. This story didn’t feel boring to me and I enjoyed the characters.

Thanks netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Ginny Eastman was six years old when her older brother, Asher, handed her a basketball, starting her athletic journey in 1966. Despite her petite stature, Ginny discovered an innate talent for bouncing and running. In a time when few girls dared to dream of playing basketball, Ginny was smitten. However, her aspirations faced an unexpected challenge when juvenile diabetes entered her life, threatening to shatter her dreams.

I really enjoyed the story. I thought the characters came to life off of the pages. The plot was easy to follow. Kudos to the author for tackling a tough subject. Will recommend to others.
