## About this book

Barnstorming Volume 1 is a work of historical fiction and literature that explores racial tension and ambition in the 1940s and 1950s. Davis Sterling, a rebellious writer from a prominent Houston family, chooses sports writing to defy his father. His career leads him to the Catfish, a Negro League baseball team founded by the family of Leola Jones. Leola strives to become the first female owner of a professional sports team while navigating the dangers of the Klan in Florida and the systemic bigotry of Texas.

This sports romance follows the team as they integrate a white pitcher into their roster to achieve championship success. As Davis documents their journey, his professional interest in the team evolves into a forbidden interracial love affair with Leola. Barnstorming Volume 1 examines the cost of integration and the struggle for dignity against a backdrop of racial violence and social change in the American South.
