Shane
Hunter a sophomore at Shorelake High School had it all: money, great friends,
and baseball. One day, his perfect world changes when Shane’s father
is arrested for money laundering at his Lexus dealership and commits suicide.
Shane’s family must move to the “other” side of town that Shane despised.
Shane has a difficult time adjusting to his new life and gets in trouble
for stealing and his punishment is repairing a local baseball diamond.
This brings back memories of his old life, and Shane is faced with the
decision of whether or not he should join the team and continue playing
the game his father taught him. Will fear of failure overpower him
or will he step up to the plate? Read this book and find out!
