This was a treat - the week before Halloween we took a color tour in northern LP Michigan. Friday night, once ensconced in the hotel, I went out to the van to find the book I'd brought with me, but I couldn't find it anywhere! Saturday morning we stopped for breakfast at the Depot in Grant, site of the last wooden railroad water tower in the state. On our way out, I spied a small stack of books near the door with a scrap of paper that said "FREE". Of course, I opened each of them looking (unsuccessfully) for a BCID! Most of them were cookbooks; I couldn't leave without this one.

A treat within a treat - classic baseball and growing up in the suburbs in the 1950s. Although 10 years off for my personal history, not really that much had changed. Very coherently written (would anyone expect any less from this author?), it reads as easily as fiction and is even more moving. The dustcover doesn't begin to do the book justice - I'm just glad I was swayed by the baseball connection and the "FREE" label.
