Lucy moves her teenage boys to a small town to put the pieces back together after a divorce and the older boy finding himself in trouble. However, this story isn't just about Lucy getting her life in order. Drew Tolman, former baseball player, is also reaching out the teenage daughter he never acknowledged. Then there's his ex-girlfried, Jacquie, who has to learn to live without a man and get to know herself. There are really three story-lines in this book that intertwine, but each is a strong part of the story. This story delves into real-life issues like divorce and alchoholism and how it can affect those close by. Although I didn't find the book to be a downer, it didn't have as much humor as I prefer--it was just reality. It was well-written and what some might call an "easy read".

I found this book to be a good read. It has several characters to follow and not to much adult content.

If the author is going to write about baseball, she should do a little research. Little League ends at age 12. A big part of the story has 17 year olds playing Little League. I won't read her again.

Book well written, i found pretty easy fast read--something for the plane or weekend. Fun read, nothing that will make you turn the lights up or keep you on end of seat-but great for what i call a "smooth" read.
