Life
and Life Only by author Dave Moyer tells the poignant and powerful
story of Dan Mason, an all-American boy with a golden arm and
a fastball
to match, whose dreams of baseball greatness and the perfect marriage
unravel along with much of American culture and society. Setting
off on a
journey of discovery, Dan struggles to find order in the chaos,
and
ultimately learns that life itself can be its own reward.
Drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the eighth
round out of high school, Dan,
whose dreams are as big as the Chicago skyline, elects instead
to take his
blue eyes and ninety-two mile per hour fastball south to the University
of
Georgia, where he meets the girl of his dreams, southern belle
Anna Jean
Simpson.
On the verge of achieving both of his lifelong
dreams, pitching in the
major leagues and conquering the affections of the beautiful Anna
Jean,
fate conspires against young Dan, and he encounters a series of
seemingly
random blows. Armed with his greatest defense against heartache
and loss,
the music of Bob Dylan, Dan struggles with his faith, attempts
to repair a
fractured relationship with his mother, and tries to hold o nto
his wife
and daughter.
When fortune steps in and Dan gets a second
chance at life, a strange
confluence of events presents him with the opportunity to pay
forward the
favor bestowed on him by a person he never even knew?that is if
he can
find the pluck to pull it off.
With masterful and dramatic prose, author
Moyer has written a novel that
speaks to the challenges of growing up and what it means to be
a man. Life
and Life Only is a work of rare dramatic power and grace that
will not
soon be forgotten and is a must read for baseball fans, or anyone
who just
loves a great story well-told.
"Life
and Life Only is a window, a vision, into contemporary American
life."
