A good chunk of the book is set in Mexico, and many of the Hispanic ballplayers are fully realized figures who are vital to the novel.Fictional version of a post-divorce book. «It was awful, but here's how I got through it.»May appeal to growing number of stay-at-home dads who put their careers aside to let their better-paid spouses be the breadwinners.
