In August of 1931, almost two years after the disastrous stock market crash on Wall Street, Bella's wealthy family suddenly find themselves broke and homeless in New York City. She is sent to live on her birth father's struggling farm in Oklahoma and soon the pampered, well-to-do city girl is forced to face life as a poor country bumpkin. The transition will not be easy for the overindulged sixteen year old. To make matters worse, choking dust storms, a dangerous drought and the hiring of a handsome but hardheaded homeless man will complicate Bella's life even further.

A baseball pitcher, a catcher, and a fact checker/aspiring writer.  If love is so hard for two people, can three possibly make it work?  Edward Cullen has two problems…First, he’s in a secret relationship with his catcher that’s very contentious at times.  Second, his high school girlfriend, his first everything, is back in town.  Will the three strike out or will it be the ultimate homerun?

This story is a poly/slash story.  If that’s not your cup of tea, then I’d urge you to find something else because it begins with a bang, literally.  Edward and Jasper play semi-pro baseball, so there will be some baseball-related action, but it’s not a full-on sports story.  There will be a bit of violence and talk of domestic violence, but I’ve tried to be sensitive and will post a warning in those chapters.  At its heart, it’s a love story.  It’s just not a conventional one.

E/J/B and the rest of the cast.  Alice gets someone, too.  Very OOC/Sex/Some violence (nothing sexual)/Rated NC-17 for sex/language/ adult situations.
