Description:
Sport is a wise and wily kid with a passion for baseball. His world is suddenly, inexplicably shaken when his mother is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and his hard-drinking father abandons them. The family quickly descends into awkward suburban poverty. Sport responds by attempting to fix the broken machinery of the household -- the unpaid bills, the deadbeat dad, the futility of his beloved Minnesota Twins. In his search for stability, Sport befriends his kind-hearted baseball coach, who offers him what appears to be a way out. Gradually, he comes to see the wisdom in his mother's advice to swing from the heels and hit away, to make his mistakes loud and large.
Expand description
A novel of graceful insight, Sport is about the world as we wish it could be -- and as it is. Sport is about learning to love the broken world.
