Resumen del Editor
"This is a story about a team that becomes a family and a family that becomes a team. . . a wonderful book ."—Cal Ripken, Jr.
"A MUST READ!"—USA TODAY (ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2023)
An achingly heartfelt and surprisingly funny memoir about family, grief, and moving forward.
When her brother dies from cancer, and then her mother just four months later, Teresa Strasser has no one to mourn with but her irresponsible, cantankerous, trailerpark-dwelling father. He claims not to remember her chaotic childhood, but he’s a devoted grandpa, so as her son embarks on his first season pitching in Little League, Teresa and Nelson form a grief group of two in beach chairs lined up behind the first base line.
There are no therapeutically trained facilitators and no rules other than those dictated by the Little League of America, and the human heart. For Teresa and her father, the stages of grief are the draft, the regular season, and the playoffs. One season of baseball becomes the framework for a memoir about family, loss, and the fundamentals of baseball and life. They cheer, talk smack about other teams, scream at each other in the parking lot, and care way too much about Little League.
Making It Home is a bracingly honest journey through grief, self-doubt, and anxiety armed with humor and optimism. After all, America’s pastime may be just a game, but it always leaves room for redemption, even at the bottom of the lineup.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"It’s a perfect book for fans of baseball, and also wonderful for those who aren’t.”—Good Housekeeping
“Baseball has always been a way for people to come together. In Making It Home Teresa and her father used baseball to come together and work through some of the most difficult circumstances we can imagine. This is a story about a team that becomes a family and a family that becomes a team. It is a wonderful book that powerfully captures how we work through life’s challenges with baseball as a backdrop.”–Cal Ripken, Jr.
“[D]elightful. . .excellent, beautiful. . . .You’re gonna love this book.”—Mike Rowe, bestselling author, podcaster, host of Dirty Jobs

Historia
Frank Ryder is unstoppable on the baseball field—his pitches arrive faster than a batter can swing, giving his opponents no chance. He’s being heralded as a game-changing pitcher. But within the maelstrom of press, adulation, and wild speculation, Frank is a man alone. Haunted by a tragic incident from years past, he yearns to be the best but cannot reconcile the guilt he carries with the man everyone believes him to be.

Historia
Lazarus "Laz" Weathers has always been shy, and his issue with stuttering when he speaks hasn't helped. Stuck in a Seattle trailer park, Laz finds baseball helps him escape from the world of poverty and drugs. When he gets an opportunity to pitch for the rich kids across town, he has a chance to get drafted by the major leagues. But playing for the other team means leaving behind his family, including Antonio, Laz's younger brother, who more and more, seems to be drawn to the dark world of the Jet City's drug ring.

A baseball rules book. A tape measure. A lottery ticket. These were in the pocket of Bengie Molina's father when he died of a heart attack on the rutted Little League field in his Puerto Rican barrio. The items serve as thematic guideposts in Molina's beautiful memoir about his father, who, through baseball, taught his three sons about loyalty, humility, courage, and the true meaning of success.

Weaving baseball history with personal memoir, this book is one that will make you thrill to victory, believe in hope, stand up to cheer for what is good in peoples' lives. It's a powerful story of redemption and faith that reminds us that God can work in our lives even when we think it's too late to change - and sometimes he sends us signs from heaven if we only have eyes to see.

Historia
Shattered is part sports audio book, because you’ll go on road trips, enter clubhouses, and walk on the fields of professional baseball. It’s part romantic novel, because you’ll journey with two young kids who fall in love and eventually elope, evading not only her family, but the law as well - for she was only 16. It’s also a story of brokenness, betrayal, and burn-out. If you were raised in a dysfunctional family, if you’ve ever had your dreams fall apart, been betrayed by close friends, or hit the psychological “wall” in your professional career, this is your audio book too.

Blue Collar Comedy star Bill Engvall is just a guy. He's been one his whole life. He can't help it; he was born that way. And that makes him an expert on the subject. For the record, here's the official definition of a guy: a person who doesn't think before he speaks. He can't. He's not that deep. Because a guy has only three basic needs: eating, sleeping, and sex. That's it. Just a Guy chronicles a lifetime in pursuit of those needs.

After transitioning at his old school leads to a year of isolation and bullying, Spencer gets a fresh start at Oakley, the most liberal private school in Ohio. At Oakley, Spencer seems to have it all: more accepting classmates, a decent shot at a starting position on the boys' soccer team, great new friends, and maybe even something more than friendship with one of his teammates.

The Soul of Baseball is as much the story of Buck O'Neil as it is the story of baseball. Driven by a relentless optimism and his two great passions - for America's pastime and for jazz, America's music - O'Neil played solely for love. In an era when greedy, steroid-enhanced athletes have come to characterize professional ball, Posnanski offers a salve for the damaged spirit: the uplifting life lessons of a truly extraordinary man who never missed an opportunity to enjoy and love life.

Hockey is Conor's life. His whole life. He'll say it himself, he's a hockey beast. It's his dad's whole life too - and Conor is sure that's why his stepmom, Jenny, left. There are very few things Conor and his dad love more than the game, and one of those things is their Doberman, Sinbad. When Sinbad is diagnosed with cancer, Conor chooses to put his hockey lessons and practices on hold so they can pay for Sinbad's chemotherapy. But without hockey to distract him, Conor begins to notice more. Like his dad's crying bouts, and his friend's difficult family life.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

Danny's tall and skinny. Even though he's not "built", his arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce that any college scout would sign him on the spot. Ninety-five-mile-an-hour fastball, but the boy's not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound, he loses it. Ball ends up so far out of the strike zone it's laughable. But at his private school, they don't expect much else from him. Danny's brown. Half-Mexican brown....

On the surface, young Charles had it all: high-society parents, a place at an exclusive New York City prep school, summer vacations in the Adirondacks. But the scrawny teenager suffered from extreme anxiety thanks to a sadistic father who mired the family in bankruptcy and scandal before abandoning Charles and his mother altogether. Charles’s only source of joy was swimming. But with no one to teach him, he struggled with technique—until he caught the eye of two immigrant coaches.

Welcome to essayist Kimberly Harrington’s poetic and funny world of motherhood, womanhood, and humanhood, not necessarily in that order. It’s a place of loud parenting, fierce loving, too much social media, and occasional inner monologues where timeless debates are resolved such as Pro/Con: Caving to PTO Bake Sale Pressure (“Pro: Skim the crappiest brownies for myself. Con: They’re really crappy.”) With accessibility and wit, she captures the emotions around parenthood in artful and earnest ways.

Historia
Katharine Smyth was a student at Oxford when she first read Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece To the Lighthouse in the comfort of an English sitting room, and in the companionable silence she shared with her father. After his death - a calamity that claimed her favorite person - she returned to that beloved novel as a way of wrestling with his memory and understanding her own grief. Through her inventive, highly personal reading of To the Lighthouse, Smyth guides us toward a new vision of Woolf’s most demanding and rewarding novel.

Clever and ambitious, Emma Jung yearned to study the natural sciences at the University of Zurich. But the strict rules of proper Swiss society at the beginning of the 20th century dictated that a woman of Emma's stature - one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland - travel to Paris to "finish" her education, to prepare for marriage to a suitable man. Engaged to the son of one of her father's wealthy business colleagues, Emma's conventional and predictable life was upended when she met Carl Jung.

Keeping it real with tears and laughter
After hearing Teresa share a part of her story on Mike Rowe’s podcast I knew I needed to give the whole book a listen. I am so glad I did. As a Christ-follower who believes in the hope of an eternity, it was powerful and enlightening to hear the heart of someone with a different faith-perspective mourning the loss of loved ones.
The baseball mom aspect had me in stitches as I am THAT MOM cheering on my boys. The complex family dynamics had me thinking about my own family’s story and how it has made me the person I am. I was laughing with full out snorts one moment and found tears in my eyes the next.
I will definitely be listening to this one again.
Just a heads up - There is quite a bit of swearing throughout, so just keep that in mind if listening with little ears around.

Great storytelling
This book is both deep and breezy. It covers heavy topics like death, trauma, forgiving when it’s hard, with a sense of humor and humility, like talking to a friend over coffee. Highly recommend!

Beautiful real-life grief and baseball story
Teresa is a gifted writer. She shares her unconventional upbringing and how it affected her relationships with her parents and her beloved brother. Take all this and add an exciting little league season with Teresa and her dad Nelson nervously watching from the outfield slowly coming to terms with some heavy grief and even a little repair of their complicated relationship. Great book.

Excellent story of love and grief
This was such an excellent read! I started and finished it in 24 hours. I love sports but even if you do not this is about relationships, life, death, grief and forgiveness. It is in it’s own way a love story between a father and daughter. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Tragedy & Triumph
Teresa reminds us that there is crying in baseball as she works through the loss of her brother & mother within the framework of one magical little league baseball season in the Valley of the Sun. Get into the box, don’t step in the bucket, & take a good cut as Teresa & her dad process love, loss, family baggage, and ultimately joy and the hope of another season.

THIS is how you narrate a damn audiobook!!
Let’s put aside for a second that this book is a laugh-out-loud AND cry-your-makeup off masterpiece, and just focus on the narrator’s performance. The author has EXCEPTIONAL comedic timing, which you don’t expect in a memoir about death and grieving. And she delivers the heavier material in a way that’s never maudlin or manipulative. Every tear is earned, and there’s not a false note in the whole thing. Most remarkable is the way she slips into and out of the different characters in the story, and right back to her pleasant narrator voice in perfect stride. It’s like you’re watching a great one-woman off-Broadway show AND being read a bedtime story at the same time. Getting to listen to this beautiful work of art for only 1 credit feels like stealing.

Painful, touching and redemptive
Knowing the public persona I knew the author to be bright and quick witted, but I did not know the depth of her story. Because I hate cliches I will just say that the book is moving and relevant to the untold numbers of us who always had food at home but often not much else. .

Brilliant, heartfelt and hilarious!
This book tells the story of how a father and daughter process the loss of their son/brother throughout a little league baseball season. Strasser has a unique ability to use clever word pictures to convey loss while making you laugh out loud. Highly recommended!
