YOU don’t have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this moving story that’s a change from Grisham’s trademark legal thrillers.

Fast forward and the abusive father Paul shunned after that tragic day, is dying of cancer and Paul takes him on a journey of redemption to meet Calico Joe, the man whose life one malicious ball changed forever.
