Sister Minnie Chance grew up with a father who was a Major League pitcher, and pitching was all she ever wanted to do. But after her mother died and her father lost his career, the only person who gave her guidance was Sister Marie, the nun who watched out for her. After Minnie graduated from high school, unable to secure a pitching scholarship, she followed in Sister Marie's footsteps. She's been at the convent for fifteen years and has never doubted her calling until one evening after coaching Little League, a man approaches her with a knife. She uses the only weapon she has to defend herself-her powerful pitch. The next day, she receives word that her father is seriously ill. She hurries to Florida-a trip that puts her in grave danger and uncovers a past of secrets and lies that not only reveal the truth of her family but her own truth as well.
