The Catch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798363653933)

What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary - or, if that's asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

"I love this book. I love these people. And I love the story of theirs that Jon Weisman has given readers to believe in. I found myself rooting quietly for them - through their foibles, insecurities, triumphs and tragedies - until happenings made me gasp, then cheer aloud. Like the game of baseball present throughout, The Catch has nuance and breath and intricate interconnectivity: those tiny moments woven throughout a single game that grow into an entire season, building toward the great moments (in baseball and in life) that contain the delicate thread of all that came before."
- Mackenzie Astin, actor

"For decades, Jon's been a masterful storyteller on the topics of baseball, Hollywood and pop culture. His debut novel is a beautiful depiction of life in today's fog of adulthood. The characters are hauntingly memorable and their intimate relationships are painfully real as they learn that, 'Being tough meant people left you. Yet, you found a way to keep living.'"
- Pamela Lynn Sullivan, producer of War On The Diamond

"What do you reach for, and what do you miss? You can feel the pulse of these questions in every great story, and so it's no surprise that they're at the aching heart of The Catch, Jon Weisman's moving exploration of love, loss, mistakes, and healing. But the true measure of achievement of The Catch is that it manages, with wisdom, humor, lyricism, and empathy, to pull us along to an even deeper realm of questioning: How do you keep reaching? How do you hold on? You'll find yourself racing through its pages to pursue answers to these questions for the wonderfully three-dimensional characters Weisman has created, and you'll come away from the story, as with every great story, with a powerful reminder that the questions are at the center of your own aching heart."
- Josh Wilker, author of Cardboard Gods
