A Story of Homeruns and Hardcover: Maddy's Dual Love for Softball and Fantasy Worlds...And This is the Story She Wears

       As the popular saying goes,

"Everything happens for a reason."

       It's a phrase that Maddy Murphy swears by. Growing up, Maddy was introduced to the world of reading by her mom. She fondly recalls the time when they would read the Great Illustrated Classic books before bed. Those memories stayed with her and ignited a passion for books that has lasted to this day.

       Maddy is into fantasy books and loves immersing herself in these magical worlds. Whenever she had spare time during softball tournaments, she would pull out a book from her bat bag and delve into its pages. Softball has been a massive part of Maddy's life, and she played it since she was four. She even played in college and now coaches softball at the high school level. Her parents are her biggest inspiration, and her dad instilled in her the importance of hard work and drive.

       Maddy's mantra is to constantly be learning or trying new things. She's a firm believer in personal growth, and she lives this by the book. When Maddy wanted to disconnect from technology and immerse herself in nature, she chose the Kingdom of Ash as her soul-searching companion.
