Immerse yourself in an engaging tale of faith, hope, and love as they converge on three lives that intertwine in ways they couldn't have imagined.
Thirty-something Kallie Molloy enjoys a nice life in San Diego; a downtown condo, a decent job, and a good man. Without warning, her world quickly begins to unravel until the only option available to her is an unexpected job offer from a soccer club in Minnesota. The offer stirs up mixed emotions from her past, but taking a leap of FAITH might be the only path to a fresh start.
After a tragic night sent his life into a tailspin and feeling overwhelmed by the constant, plaguing reminders of a life that no longer existed, pro soccer players’ agent, Chris Bedford quietly ran from his life in tiny Northfield, Minnesota to the anonymity of Chicago. Years later, for his daughter's sake, he nervously contemplates their return to Northfield, the same place where he was robbed of all HOPE.
Retired attorney and unassuming widower, Stanley Beckham, occupies his days managing The Study, a bookstore-coffee shop, inspired by his late wife. Not only a wildly popular local favorite, it's his way of keeping her spirit alive. Though he enjoys providing a haven for patrons of all kinds, he begins to wonder if it's where he's supposed to be. Is he really honoring the lost LOVE of his life or is he merely hiding in the backdrop?
​Some journeys are priceless...
Baseball...It's only a game.
​
True on its face, but a description that falls short of encapsulating the countless slice-of-life stories that originate within the game, whether playing, coaching, cheering, or just watching.
This is one of those stories and it's simple; it begins and ends with a baseball bat.
​
So, settle in for an enjoyably quick read and view the experiences, memories, relationships, and missed opportunities through your own lens, as an old baseball bat travels through several decades before ending up in it's rightful place.
Elaine, a semi-retired Therapist and Stanley, a retired attorney are dabbling in a Boomer romance, but falling in love isn’t any easier the second time around.
Just as she embraces the idea of exploring something deeper with Stanley she receives a phone call from her estranged daughter, a country music washout living in Nashville, Elaine's forced to balance her suspicions with an opportunity to remain in her granddaughter’s life.
Though Stanley warms to the idea of pursuing something, too, their careful dance takes a sudden turn when he finds himself squarely in the center of Elaine’s family drama,
​
Acting as a bridge between Elaine and Stanley is Elaine’s son, Luke, recently separated from the Army’s elite Delta Force, and now trying to embrace civilian life. Unexpectedly, he crosses paths with single mother Roma Parks, who's a few years older than him, but every bit his match.
Will spring romance flourish or will it be safer to do things the way they've always been done?
