Story Behind The Book
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I contemplated writing this
book for many years, driven by the desire to, in some small way, honor the
memories of two childhood friends who died young. Their names were Danny
Dettling and Pete Callinan. Danny and I hung out a lot between the ages of 12
and 14, playing on the same Pop Warner football team and spending summer nights
camped out in my parent’s backyard in a blue-green pup tent that we routinely
shared with my brother. Danny was always fun to be around and we became close
friends. Pete was a fine all-around athlete and excellent baseball player,
smooth and stylish, and a good person.<span>
</span>Both died in their early 20s, Danny from a terminal illness and Pete
following a tragic accident that left him paralyzed.<span> </span>Even now, three decades later, the picture of them remains
clear in my mind.</span></p><p></p>

Their dreams of playing in the Major Leagues are right at their finger tips. The guys made a pact when they were younger to do whatever it takes to help each other fulfill these dreams. Everything is right on track when tragedy strikes. Danny is left to deal with overwhelming grief while trying to fulfill their pact. Uncommon events occur that propel him into a situation that is beyond all expectations. Members of his team and coaching staff, along with the girl of his dreams, all help him deal with his grief, become one of the greatest baseball players, and regain his lost faith. <br /><br />This is an incredible book. I absolutely loved it. Michael Sheehan had me crying in just the first few pages. It's a heartbreaking, heartwarming, joyful look at life's mysteries. We get to witness the true goodness of humankind in an entertaining sports love story. The love and care that the characters have for one another is so inspirational. This is one story you won't want to miss <br /><br /></span></div>
