Publisher's summary

In this briskly paced novella involving far more than America’s pastime, an older man befriends an angry young boy following one of his disastrous practices. The boy is clearly the worst player on his team, yet he is desperate to improve. So the man sets out to give him some pointers about the game and possibly about life, amid initial reservations from the boy’s mother, and violent opposition from his vulgar and abusive stepfather.

A Moving Short Story

This was my first experience with E. Ryan Janz's work, and it was touching, but there were some elements that were questionable. I liked the basic story which featured a boy who played baseball but wasn't very good at the sport, and a retired man who helped the boy by practicing with him and giving to him practical tips. I had a hard time reconciling the man, who was written with a strong moral character, showing a romantic interest in the boy's married mother. Amy Fisher's narration was fine, and she kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.
