Description

In the summer of 1973, a young baseball phenom named Calico Joe captivates the nation with his extraordinary talent, becoming an instant idol for fans across America. Among his devoted admirers is Paul Tracey, the son of a struggling New York Mets pitcher, whose life is irrevocably altered on the fateful day his father faces Joe on the mound. This powerful novel explores profound themes of fathers and sons, the enduring impact of a single moment, and the possibility of redemption and forgiveness. John Grisham masterfully weaves a poignant narrative that resonates long after the final page, set against the backdrop of America's favorite pastime.
