Book overview
With a Foreword by World Series Champion Bret Saberhagen.Perfect for fans of The Sandlot, Field of Dreams, and Friday Night Lights. He clears a strip of land by the creek, hammers together a backstop, and builds a fence - and a promise: no kid in his neighborhood will ever believe that life is only what happens on the six o'clock news. Board by board, that patch of dirt becomes Cedarbrook Field - a refuge where games last until dark, where adults remember who they used to be, and where a hard-working New England town learns to protect the one place that still belongs to its kids. Then the factories close. Families fray. Developers with clipboards and contracts begin to circle the land. But the fence still stands - because some promises are worth defending with everything you have. The Sandlot Promise is Book One of the Sandlot series: a fierce, deeply human novel about community, second chances, and keeping one small field honest in a world that keeps moving the fences. From the homemade sandlots of 1969 to the billion-dollar youth-sports machine of today, the series follows three generations bound to one fence and one idea - games are meant to grow kids, not own them.Get your copy today and discover the field where it all began.
