A True Story Of Love, Loss, Baseball, And A Dream That Really Did Come True
Foreword Excerpt by Peyton Manning, Pro Football Hall of Fame Quarterback
“Maybe you’ve been putting your own dreams on hold. Maybe you’re recovering from your own illness. Maybe you’ve lost someone you care about. After reading this book, you’ll be eager to imagine your own amazing next season.”
A Season With Mom
Join Katie Russell Newland as she travels over 30,000 miles to all 30 Major League Baseball parks in a single season to honor her late mother. Through letters to her mother and black-and-white photographs taken along her journey, she reflects on her life and America’s favorite pastime.
For anyone who has loved a mother, adored a sport, survived cancer, or experienced a devastating loss, A Season With Mom reminds readers that it is life's strikeouts that ultimately lead to the home runs. And even if you have to wait 108 years—as the Chicago Cubs did for their World Series win—dreams really can come true.
“A beautifully written, heartfelt narrative tying together a cancer survivor’s love of family with America’s enduring pastime of baseball.”
Anne Keene: Author of The Cloudbuster Nine: The Untold Story of Ted Williams and the Baseball Team that Helped Win WWII
