Mia and Cricket were raised by a single mother who gave up her dreams to help make her daughter’s ones real. Or at least one of them. A family that loved soccer (futbol) more than anyone, they focused their life goal to make Cricket the US National Team future goalkeeper, everything in their lives was about that goal, the plan was set and Liz (their mother) and Mia (the oldest daughter) knew they’ll do anything to make that happen. 

But life doesn’t care about your plans, life takes your plan and throws it away and tells you to find a different one to follow, life also tells you that sometimes the sacrifices you make mean nothing if you’re not really enjoying the life you’re making for yourself. 

This story is about family, and siblings, and dreams and plans that make us forget sometimes what we already have in the present, that makes us forget to enjoy the people around us, people that have always put us first, sacrificing their own dreams for us, because that’s what life gave them and they had to act as adults and figure things out for a better life, not only for them but for their kids, their siblings, their parents. We are not alone in this world, even if sometimes it feels like it, we’re part of a family, we’re part of a community, and we need to learn to live fully, in connection to them, not isolated. 

I really loved this one guys, like i’ve said before i really love reading stories about sisters and learn about how strong their connection is, and the love they have for each other. So if you’re interest in that and also in soccer and sports in general, this one is definitely for you.
