In "one of the funniest and most heartfelt baseball stories in recent
memory" (Publishers Weekly), Howard Frank Mosher returns to Kingdom
Common, Vermont, to spin a touching coming-of-age tale in an America
that has almost disappeared. From this remote village, noted for its
fervent devotion to the Red Sox, comes Ethan "E. A." Allen, a young man
with a chance to change baseball history. Homeschooled, fatherless, and
living on the wrong side of the tracks, E. A. is haunted by a dark
mystery in his family's past until a drifter named Teddy arrives in his
life, determined to teach E. A. everything he knows about baseball.
Filled with an engaging array of rambunctious, memorable characters and
brimming with faith, Waiting for Teddy Williams is an irresistible
read that reminds us that dreams--no matter how far-fetched--sometimes
do come true.
