The Sweet Season (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295776564)

Have you ever wondered why some teams with considerable athletic talent fail and others with far less athletic talent succeed? The Sweet Season explores and ultimately reveals the answer to this question as well as the answers to many related questions that define who we are and who we want to be.

A chance meeting between a crabby old man, rehabbing a dilapidated Victorian mansion in an impoverished midwestern town, and five disparate teen girls pessimistically seeking contributions to support the summer softball team they have, for various reasons, been "sentenced" to join, ultimately alters the course of all their lives.

More than a sports story, more than a coming-of-age story, The Sweet Season is an inspirational exploration of the journey we all take from childhood to adulthood; as well as a thought-provoking exploration of the critical pathways we either choose or reject along the way.
