Descripción

Part Tuesdays with Morrie, part Field of Dreams: a true American story of World War II and redemption. Gary Moore's book about his father—a baseball phenom whose future in the majors was cut short by World War II and a fateful occurrence during a top secret mission for the U.S. Navy—is a warm-hearted memoir of faded dreams and new hope. Filled with memorable characters from an extraordinary time in our country's history, it is a truly redemptive story that will be read and cherished for generations to come.

Review:
First-time author Gary Moore exhibits the confidence and pacing of a seasoned writer. His compelling narrative certainly helps. This twentieth-century epic shows how, sometimes, releasing a dream is the only way to find one's great fortune. – Publishers Weekly (starred review)
