Pinch Hit is a very interesting account about identical twin sisters, Juliette and Julia. Both are very bright, but Juliette is the smarter of the two. Julia, the first born, argues that since she was born first, she should have been named Juliette. Consequently, that's why Juliette is the smarter of the two. Their parents are grossly disappointed that such disharmony exists between them. However, their father predicts that fate will resolve the issue and the two sisters will find peace in their sisterhood. Julia is diagnosed with an incurable disease and finds Juliette and requests that she (Juliette) takes her place as wife for her husband and mother for her girls-Thus, the name: "Pinch Hit." This book is written in playright format to make it (the Book) more interesting to read and to allow the incidents and dialogue of the Book to unfold more naturally.
