Description
In Rosario, Argentina, seventeen-year-old Camila Hassan is a gifted soccer player whose fearless alter ego, La Furia, thrives on the field—even as her home life is constrained by family expectations and her father’s volatile authority. When her team earns a chance to compete at a prestigious South American tournament, Camila sees a path toward the professional career and athletic scholarship she longs for, but pursuing it may cost her family’s approval and complicate her relationship with Diego. Set against the vibrant world of Argentine fútbol, this powerful coming-of-age novel explores ambition, gender roles, abuse, cultural expectations, and the courage it takes to claim one’s own future.
