Jimmy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977228147)

Jimmy is the story of a boy growing up in the Ozarks in 1969. He and his dad share a love of baseball and the outdoors until a terrible accident carries Jimmy and his father down different forks in the river. While Jimmy refuses to be defined by his new physical limitations, his father struggles with emotional wounds that threaten to consume him. Ozarkian Donald Provance Jr shows us the immense natural beauty of the region through Jimmy's eyes. Inspired by the buoyant spirit of the people Donald grew up with, Jimmy reminds us that friends bring joy to life and soften the pain of loss. Jimmy is a baseball story and a tale from the Ozarks that captures the triumph of positivity.
