Local author Mac Crane's latest book, "A Sharp Endless Need," is an LGBTQ+ coming-of-age story about the competitive world of high school girls' basketball.

It follows Mackenzie Morris, a star high school point guard with dozens of Division I college recruitment offers, as they contend with a blossoming first love and a world turned upside down.

Tuesday on Midday Edition, Crane sat down with KPBS arts reporter Julia Dixon Evans to discuss the book and their approach to writing about grief, identity and sports.
