Synopsis
From the author of Shoeless Joe, the book that inspired the movie Field of Dreams.
In the tradition of his bestselling Shoeless Joe, W.P. Kinsella has created another literary baseball classic. A warm tale of magic, humor and the power of a second chance, its hero is Joe McCoy, an unemployed newspaper writer who by some bizarre circumstances is now a fugitive from the FBI. There's only one thing left for Joe to do - go home to Iowa and tell his story to the only two men who just might believe it - Shoeless Joe's Ray Kinsella and The Iowa Baseball Confederacy's Gideon Clarke. This pair, Joe has heard, know a thing or two about inexplicable events.

Review
‘(Kinsella) can juice up sentences the way a sly pitcher can load up a ball with tobacco spit to make it break like an apple rolling off a table.’ – The Vancouver Sun
