Playing Gauche

by M. Kate Allen

Medley Blunt is a former Little Leaguer playing for the first time on an all-girls softball team, and she's got some things to learn. Going from the star of her state championship-winning baseball team to barely making the starting lineup of her softball team, her world has turned topsy turvy. Add to that the revelation that her adoptive parents are having a baby the old-fashioned way. Who is she if not a star ball player? Who is she if not an only child? What are her roots, and who is she, really?

This book is a work of art. Playing Gauche has reawakened my love of reading. The Author does not only have a tremendous capacity for capturing emotion, she commands it in the reader. So many tears ushered in response to these pages -- both sobbing and hysterical laughing tears. I loved the supporting character's story and all of the important social implications surrounding it, but what I loved most was watching Medley's story unfold. Seeing her step into her power, find her voice, stand up to ignorance and injustice, and finding and reclaiming her identity.
