description: Life, Sex, and Fast Pitch Softball is the story of a family becoming a team as they learn the rules of the game. The protagonist and narrator, Mercedes Mayfield, like Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye, is troubled but observant, as she faces the difficult challenges of adolescence and family disruption. Her voice is that of a modern teenager, cynical but hopeful, as she copes with the games people play on and off sports fields. In her season as catcher for the Hillfield Hellions, she is forced out of her safe, affluent world and gets to know some fascinating people—two of them her own parents.
