The Ghost Enters
Not all your learning takes place in school. It's surprising what you can learn when you step outside the bubble of your everyday life. In this excerpt from Lupe Throws Like A Girl, Lupe Lopez is shocked to encounter two new characters, an old man in a wheelchair who knows more about baseball than she does, and the ghost of a famous MLB star. Both of these relationships help unravel Lupe's life of challenges as a first-generation high school graduate. Read all about it in Lupe Throws Like A Girl, available here at Bublish.com and at all major outlets. I also invite you to follow my posts in Diverse Voices - Bravo! where I introduce you to other Latinx authors each week. https://anitaperezferguson.substack.com
Book Excerpt
Lupe Throws Like A Girl
Mr. Ramirez’s wheelchair was positioned in front of a framed picture of a baseball player hung beside the mirror. In the picture, the man was bent on one knee, a bat propped on his shoulder. She stared at the player’s face.
“It is his week. I remember him every day, but this is his special week.” Mr. Ramirez’ words were full of reverence. Lupe had no idea who this old player was. It wasn’t a West Coast team uniform; she recognized all of those colors and emblems.
“Who is it?” Lupe asked. Mr. Ramirez stared at her and shook his head and clicked his tongue.
“Ay, chica. You tell me you love softball, and yet, you don’t know who this is?”
