Someplace to Call Home

In 1933, what's left of the Turner family-twelve-year-old Hallie and her two brothers--finds itself driving the back roads of rural America. The children have been swept up into a new migratory way of life. America is facing two devastating crises: the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Hundreds of thousands of people in cities across the country have lost jobs. In rural America it isn't any better as crops suffer from the never-ending drought. Driven by severe economic hardship, thousands of people take to the road to seek whatever work they can find, often splintering fragile families in the process. As the Turner children move from town to town, searching for work and trying to cobble together the basic necessities of life, they are met with suspicion and hostility.

Something to Prove: The Great Satchel Paige vs. Rookie Joe DiMaggio

In 1936, the New York Yankees wanted to test a hot prospect named Joe DiMaggio to see if he was ready for the big leagues. They knew just the ballplayer to call—Satchel Paige, the best pitcher anywhere, black or white. For the game, Paige joined a group of amateur African American players, and they faced off against a team of white major leaguers plus young DiMaggio. The odds were stacked against the less-experienced black team. But Paige's skillful batting and amazing pitching—with his "trouble ball" and "bat dodger"— kept the game close. Would the rookie DiMaggio prove himself as major league player? Or would Paige once again prove his greatness—and the injustice of segregated baseball?

Sometimes Never, Sometimes Always

For Cassandra Randall, there's a price to pay for being a secret atheist in a family of fundamentalists—she has nothing good to write on an online personality quiz; her best friend is drifting away; and she's failing English because she can't express her true self in a poem. But when she creates a controversial advice blog just to have something in her life to call her own, there's no way she can predict the devastating consequences of her actions. As her world fractures before her very eyes, Cass must learn to listen to her own sense of right and wrong in the face of overwhelming expectations.

Sometimes the Girl

Eighteen-year-old Holiday needs a change. She's still shaken from her brother's recent suicide attempt, still pining over her ex, and still struggling to write again after an incident with a former mentor. To earn enough money for a life-rebalancing trip, Holi starts working for acclaimed local author Elsie McAllister, whose fame rests on a single novel published decades ago. It's an unglamorous gig: sorting through the elderly legend's attic and cataloging mementos, while Elsie refuses to provide writing advice aside from ""Don't do it."" But Elsie's attic contains secrets that change Holi's views on art, life, and the way they intertwine, as she grapples with choices that will redefine her own path.
