Book Two of The Long War
Storms forge heroes. Baseball tests them. Love redeems them.
Wounded
A freak storm. A sudden death. An innocent boy is accused of murder.
Haunted by shame and driven by a need for redemption, Ricky Belisle leaves behind everything he knows—including the woman he loves. Chasing a future on the dusty ballfields of the American South, he finds a world of temptation, corruption, and injustice where the only certainty is the game.
But when injury ends his pursuit of glory, Ricky must face a deeper trial. Reunited with Marie-Jeanne, they find themselves on a Colorado mountainside, where nature itself will test their courage and their love.
For fans of The Great Alone, The Grapes of Wrath, and To Kill a Mockingbird, this is a sweeping story of resilience and second chances.
Storms forge heroes. Baseball tests them. Love redeems them.
