She's full of confidence and has already made her debut on the national team, even though she's still a teenager. So when she finishes high school, she travels to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to play for one of the best college teams in the United States. Her talent is to be tested, her dream pursued. But it turns out that traveling alone to a foreign country, earning a place on the team, and finding success is not quite as magical as it sounds. Especially not when the whole world suddenly shuts down due to the COVID pandemic, and you're left alone with your doubts and loneliness in empty hotel rooms. A coming-of-age sports story about being on unfamiliar ground and about the costs and hard work it takes to pursue and achieve your dreams. Told as a diary with poems, drawings, and recordings by the protagonist herself.
