Life is sweet for star athlete, Amy Perry, who is the only woman playing professional baseball. But not everyone is accepting of an open lesbian on a men's ball team, and Amy finds the harassment hard to take. Thank goodness she's found a fulfilling relationship with Stacy McCrady, and still has the friendship and support of sportswriter Lisa Collins.

It takes a true team effort to get her back on track in both parts of her life.
