About this listen

Veronica struggles to balance softball, friends, and family turmoil in this new honest and heartfelt middle-grade novel by Jen Petro-Roy, Life in the Balance.

Veronica Conway has been looking forward to trying out for the all-star softball team for years. She's practically been playing the game since she was a baby. She should have this tryout on lock.

Except right before tryouts, Veronica’s mom announces that she’s entering rehab for alcoholism, and her dad tells her that they may not be able to afford the fees needed to be on the team.

Veronica decides to enter the town talent show in an effort to make her own money, but along the way, discovers a new hobby that leads her to doubt her feelings for the game she thought she loved so much.

Is her mom the only one learning balance, or can Veronica find a way to discover what she really wants to do with her life?
