Suicide comes to seem like his best choice, so Chick returns to his childhood home to put an end to his unhappiness.

Since then it’s been all downhill, and the slide became a plummet when he lied to his mother and his own family to get one last shot at glory, with disastrous results. Raised by his absent father to play baseball, Chick made it to the big time-the World Series-but injury cut his major league career tragically short. Now he returns with a beautiful, haunting novel about the family we love and the chances we miss.Ĭharley “Chick” Benetto has reached the end of his rope.
