In 1957, a group of young Mexican-American caddies formed the San Felipe High School Golf Team and competed against all-white schools for the Texas State High School Golf Championship. Despite lacking resources and formal training, they triumphed, with three players earning medals. This book narrates their inspiring journey from caddies to champions.
Set against the backdrop of 1960s America, the story follows the forbidden love between Gloria, a white farmer's daughter, and Nico, a Mexican American migrant's son, amidst rampant racism. Their relationship faces severe challenges when Gloria's attempt to confront discrimination leads to Nico being wrongfully accused of attempted murder. As Gloria battles her prejudiced father and an unjust legal system, she must navigate the complexities of love, loyalty, and the fight for justice in a divided society.
