Every small town has its eccentrics, its oddballs ...
... in Pearisville, it's Bill Barrister.
He throws a baseball against a haystack in his back yard every day ... just to keep from going crazy.
Bill is a military veteran, a drunkard, a nervous wreck, living out his days in his boyhood home.
An invitation to take a cross-country road trip with Godfrey, a high-spirited, hard-drinking, fun-loving
buddy, might be just what he needs to shake off the anxiety, the panic-filled days of his dreary
existence.
But is leaving the comfort, the familiarity of his hometown, a good idea, especially with a nutcase like
Godfrey? What misadventures await the two?
This humorous, engaging story from baseball novelist Mike Reuther is the author at his best.
