But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five people are upended. Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to start a new life. As the season counts down to its climactic final game, these five are forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. In the process they forge new bonds, and help one another find their true paths. This novel is about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, and about commitment to oneself and to others. 000456468 650_0 $$aCollege students$$vFiction. 000456468 650_0 $$aBaseball players$$vFiction. 000456468 650_0 $$aInterpersonal relations$$vFiction. 000456468 650_0 $$aCollege stories. 000456468 651_0 $$aGreat Lakes Region (North America)$$vFiction. 000456468 655_7 $$aPsychological fiction.$$2lcgft 000456468 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3608.A72513$$iA87$$i2011 000456468 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:456468$$pGLOBAL_SET 000456468 980__ $$aBIB 000456468 980__ $$aBOOK
