I really enjoyed this book. The pace was great. I feel like the little nuggets of drama kept you turning the pages. Hawk is a Professional baseball pitcher who is injured and returns home to rehab. While home he meets Bellamy a single mom of a 10-yo boy who just wants to play baseball, but due to shady small-town politics he is being black-balled from joining the town’s little league team.
I love the connection between the characters. I love the setting and the overall dynamic and f the book. This book will keep you engaged and you will fight for the ‘underdogs’ while reading. This book made my heart flutter and made me want to hurt the mean people. You feel the hurt, the joy, the love and the anger that these character feel.
