Description
Jade
is the only hearing member in her family. Her older sister gets to go to the
school for the deaf headed by her grandfather Gilbert, but Jade feels left out.
Marla thinks her little sister is a pest and a brat. When they end up on the
same softball team for the summer, neither is happy about it. Jade, the
smallest player on the team, is assigned to be the catcher. It looks like it’s
going to be a long season. As sisters, they are often at loggerheads, but as
team mates Jade and Marla have to find ways to get along. In spite of their
differences, they soon discover that each has a lot to offer the other.
