And inside her prison, lost in a sea of other girls, Delaware has one colossal dream revolving around a simple white baseball. But Dellie’s Run isn’t just a story of dreams–It dives into the grim lives of billions of beings who share our world, lives that most of us never see. And as you follow Dellie’s courageous journey, you’ll find that her prison isn’t quite so far away from your own backyard.
For my entire life, I have been moved and shaped by the power of words, and I believe that they truly can change lives and open hearts and minds. Four years ago, I began a journey to use my own words to share the truth about the oppressive animal agriculture system, which abuses and kills billions every year, through the eyes of a lovable, inquisitive, and headstrong character named Delaware.
Dellie’s Run will reach thousands of Americans who will love a good adventure about our nation’s greatest pastime, baseball–and through Dellie’s story, they will find a spark of compassion inside themselves they never knew they had.
Words can deeply touch our souls and cause us to reflect on our very foundations. This book will prompt many readers to think about the choices they make in their daily lives, and to begin choosing compassion three times each day.

Book Synopsis:
When you’ve lived your entire life mired in muck and filth, dreams might be the only thing you can cling to. And inside her prison, lost in a sea of thousands of other girls, Delaware has one colossal dream that revolves around a simple white ball. Captivating her from the screen of the portable television owned by one of the prison workers, it is her only glimpse of the place she calls Outside. Her dream is baseball.
Dellie’s Run is an empowering story of one girl chasing the elusive home run in the name of freedom—not just for her, but for the thousands she left behind. Along the way, she comes face to face with who she really is and why, according to the laws of physics, she’s basically destined to strike out. As Dellie sets off to defy these odds along with the companionship and scientific ingenuity of a curious young boy named Austin, she might just change the game for her kind—and for all of us on the Outside.
