Line Drive by Sloan Johnson
Coming Soon!
PJ Nolan has convinced himself he can get through one last year. That changes when he arrives for the first day of spring training and his teammates think it’s funny to mock the one night that made him feel alive. They don’t realize those pictures are all he has left of Nate Kendricks.
Nate knows nothing about baseball, but agrees to a spring training road trip with his twin brother. He’s not thrilled about the prospect of seeing PJ Nolan, the man who’d haunted his dreams since the night of the charity auction. Nate thought their chemistry was undeniable, but after that night, he never heard from PJ again.
Once they reunite, PJ’s certain of one thing: he’s not going to let Nate slip away again. As he gets closer to joining his dad in the record books, he feels Nate slipping away. What will he choose if forced to pick between new love and a lifelong dream?
What’s your favorite under-appreciated novel?
Most people who know Jacquelyn Mitchard know her for Deep End of the Ocean, which was the first Oprah’s Book Club selection, but A Theory of Relativity is the story of hers that will stick with me until the day I die. I read the book when I was in a very dark
I read the book when I was in a very dark place, living over 500 miles from my friends and family. To say I felt alone was an understatement. But sitting in the front room of my apartment, I read this book and was reminded that I wasn’t alone.
Ms. Mitchard writes in a way that not only drew me into the story, but I could see exactly where the characters were. She managed to close the stretch of I-80 between me and everything I knew as home and gave me the strength to keep going. I know that might sound dramatic, but it’s truly how I felt at the time.
