Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eamonn Delahanty, a forty-seven year old traveling salesman of humble circumstances, is not only rejuvenated, but transformed by a visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Expecting only a brief visit to the museum just 100 miles from his home in Upstate New York, Eamonn ("A.D" to everyone but his wife) stays much longer and undergoes a metamorphosis. Compelled by one particular display in the HOF, he finds he must lengthen his stay so long that his wife Nancy begins to wonder about him. He leaves the Hall a completely changed man, one who can now play baseball much better than he could have ever imagined.In the process, everything about A.D. Delahanty - his athletic ability, confidence level, personality, and outlook on life - changes.Not only does A.D. change dramatically as a result of his visit, but the lives of his spouse, daughter-in-law, newfound friends Gehrig and Jimi, and countless professional ballplayers and coaches as well.Although Rowlee's fourth novel is set once again in his favored milieu of baseball, HE PLAYS LIKE COBB ventures into an altogether "Other-worldly" realm previously unmatched in literature.HE PLAYS LIKE COBB is not only a "grand-slam home run of epic proportions," but a genuine masterpiece as well.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every so often a story comes along that can transport, entertain, and teach lessons about life, courage, and overcoming our fears and demons. VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES is such a story, a novel about a boy and his anxieties, obstacles, passions, and faith. Anyone who's ever been pushed down by life's tragedies and cried out for help will find a kindred spirit in the boy whose name bears the title of this stirring tale. By age eleven, Varrick O'Connell had already lost several things in his life, the most important of which was his father two and a half years before. Since that tragedy, this sensitive and insightful boy has lost his zeal, confidence, and courage to fight life's battles. First, three bullies (all brothers) terrorize him at seemingly every turn. An older sibling taunts him mercilessly. And, during the Little League season of 1965, Varrick actually begins to lose his passion for baseball because of his fear of a ball in the man-sized hands of the most dominating pitcher he's ever faced - the six-foot, two-inch tall southpaw pitcher named Ross Ramsey, referred to by Varrick and his close buddy Jack as "Big R." Set in a small Mojave Desert town during the summer of 1965, VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES deals with a wide variety of topics and emotions: the loss of loved ones, racial strife (both in the town of Yuccaville, California, and in Watts during the riots), the well-meaning but potentially dangerous intervention of mental health professionals, the real or imagined appearance of a guardian angel, and - most importantly - the search for ultimate truth, protection, personal courage, and faith in a power greater than us all. "VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES has depth and substance. Patrick Rowlee is a powerful storyteller painting vivid portraits of his characters in a way that makes them real, vulnerable, and accessible for his readers. I love his style - descriptive without being flowery, compelling without being melodramatic. There is something in VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES for everyone! I was immediately hooked." -- Amy Hammond Hagberg, author of the Christian book series HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S REAL? "Patrick Rowlee writes with a muscular style perfectly suited to sports fiction. He has proven he's in the literary game for the long haul, and I'm damn glad of it!" - Gerald Locklin, Poet, Critic, and Professor Emeritus - California State University, Long Beach This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There was another time in America's history where her citizens were completely polarized; when every voter seemed to rally enthusiastically behind either a bright, rising star (John Fitzgerald Kennedy) or a seemingly unstoppable force (Richard Milhous Nixon). Then, as now, there appeared to be no middle ground in this nation. One man was considered our savior and the other our certain downfall, depending on one's political perspective. Set during the time between the memorable 1960 presidential election and the summer of '62, TWO FACES TO NO ONE follows two kindred rising stars in the political skies, Ross "Red" Emerson and Alberto "Al" Campari, as they first campaign for JFK and then as running mates during Yucca City's first-ever city council election two years later. Although only a "mere" municipal election in a small city, the shock waves cause by the treachery of some emanate all the way to the top, affecting the number-one labor leader at the time, the Attorney General, and even the 35th President of the United States (Jack Kennedy). The intense competition that raged between the two opponents in historic national election echoes throughout the local election pitting Red Emerson and Al Campari's "Righteous Rangers" against the well-connected Nick Zamboni and his two running mates. Candidates' reputations are sullied, careers targeted, and murder considered a viable option by one entrant. TWO FACES TO NO ONE is a novel that mixes historical fiction with political intrigue. It is Patrick Rowlee's second novel, on the heels of his very successful first effort VARRICK'S DISTURBANCES. Although two very different stories, both novels were inspired by real life and set in fictional emotion-charged Mojave Desert towns known as much for political polarity and racial bigotry as its sunny weather and prominence in aerospace and national defense. Critics have hailed TWO FACES TO NO ONE as being full of "depth and substance. "Rowlee is a powerful storyteller painting vivid portraits of his characters in a way that make them real, vulnerable, and accessible." "Descriptive without being flowery; compelling without being melodramatic. There is something in this novel for everyone!" - Amy Hammond Hapberg The tension in TWO FACES TO NO ONE builds to such a tremendous apex that it is nigh to impossible for the reader to put this page-turner down for even a minute.
