Book First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Printing. 258 pages. Sportswriter Vic Worsley is forty-four, divorced, and burned out. His backetball column for the San Francisco Chronicle is fueled by strong coffee, red wine, and anger, instead of the love he once had for the game. But his life is about to be changed by two women. One is Greta Eagleheart, whom he has known, worked with and flirted with for three years. The other is a fierce old soul named Ruby Carmichael, who insists that Vic come watch her child play basketball as no one before him ever has. Although Vic resists at first he finds himself inexorably drawn to the roughest neighborhood in Oakland. Tillsbury Park is where many of the legendary great men got their start. Spear is a twenty seven year old giant, a phenomenal athlete who soars effortlessly above the rim. Vic is thrust onto the court where Spear teaches him a new understanding of sport, brotherhood, and family. Greta forces himto look deep within himself.
