I thoroughly enjoyed this story of the friendship between Seth and Jimmy as they grow from boys to teens. Set on a baseball field, the pair try to deal with such issues as divorce, alcoholism, the death of a parent, and even what to do when friends grow apart. This story is heartbreaking as well as heartwarming, and one that will stay with you for a long, long time. Highly recommended!
