Home and Away by Rochelle Alers
In modern times, Harper Fleming leaves her job in Chicago to write about sports, since they won’t let her. She plans to interview her great-grandfather in Nashville about his participation in the Negro Baseball League, but when she arrives, she starts caring for him after a stroke. She also finds all his old personal documents, and instead of a history, she chooses to write a novel to protect her great-grandfather’s privacy. She’s eager to reveal this history (through fiction) to the world, but there’s more to the story than she knew.
