Flood Girls by Richard Fifield

The Flood GirlsRachel Flood is an alcoholic.  She's been faithfully attending her AA meetings and working through the steps.  She's on the right path.  But Rachel knows she's left a path behind her with a lot of emotional casualties and she can't let it go.  She needs to right her wrongs in her hometown of Quinn, Montana.  Rachel knows that no one, including her own mother, will be happy to see her back in Quinn but she needs to give it a try.  

Quinn's most spunky women all come together each summer to form the town's baseball team.  The hilarious characters of Flood Girls will have you checking NetFlix to re-watch '90's movie A League of Their Own.  Will Rachel receive the forgiveness she seeks?  Will she be driven to drink again?  Beneath all the rough and tough exteriors are the residents of Quinn hiding a big heart after all?

You'll laugh.  You'll cry.  You'll want to keep reading Flood Girls.
