This book is about the gift of life, love, laughter, deceit, tragedy, and forgiveness. It follows people seeking meaning and happiness, but not all follow the high road. It captures the tragedy of the 1972 Sunshine Mine Fire, one of the worst disasters in mining history. In this novel, there is an intersection of reality and imagination, perhaps making reality even more real. Everyone has a story, and as you read the stories of these people, may you reflect on your own.
It's also about baseball.
