I wanted to share a new novel with you called Stealing Home by Allison Pittman I received a copy of a while back for a review but the book ended up on a shelf and I forgot about the book. Then this morning I was cleaning off the shelf and began to look for something to read and I found the book. I can’t wait to sit down this evening for some much needed #me-time when I can sit down and dive into this new novel. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.
From the cover and the women’s outfit I would say this is a Historical Romance. The story is about 9 innings and 4 people which is enough to keep you on the edge of your toes from the first page to the last page. A story about a professional baseball play with a drinking problem. The town he goes to recover and the women he meets.
At times it could be a sports novel. Women of all ages will enjoy the story but I’m sure some men might not mind checking it out as well. I can’t wait to share Stealing Home with my girlfriends. I wish Hallmark would turn the book into one of there #movie-f–the-week and you can bet your bottom dollar I would watch it and share it with everyone I know.
About the book:
Four individuals, each living in haunted isolation, and each harboring a secret passion come together in this novel by Christy Award finalist Allison K. Pittman .It’s 1905 and the Chicago Cubs are banking on superstar Donald “Duke” Dennison’s golden arm to help them win the pennant. Only one thing stands between Duke and an unprecedented ten thousand dollar alcohol.
When sportswriter David Voyant whisks Duke to the one-horse town of Picksville, Missouri, so he can sober up in anonymity, Duke bides his time flirting with Ellie Jane Voyant, his unofficial chaperone, who would rather hide herself in the railway station ticket booth than face the echoes of childhood taunts
.Ned Clovis, the feed store clerk, has secretly loved Ellie Jane since childhood, but he loves baseball and the Duke almost as much–until he notices Ellie Jane may be succumbing to the star’s charm. Then there’s Morris, a twelve-year-old Negro boy, whose only dream is to break away from Picksville. When Duke discovers his innate talent for throwing a baseball, Morris might just have found his way out. Providence brings them together. Tragedy threatens to tear them apart. Will love be enough to bring them home
Meet the Author: Allison Pittman (Author
As far as I know, I have always been a writer. Before I could put words to page, I would dictate stories to my mother. I have always lulled myself to sleep by crafting stories–a new chapter each night. When God called me to write, I was thrilled to answer His prompting. And so it was, after a long conversation with my husband, I left a 20-year teaching career to pursue a new direction. It called for a HUGE step of faith, but God has kept me and our family safe.
I count every single one of my readers as one of God’s blessings in my life, and I like to think of my stories as being the first step in a conversation. Please visit my website, www.allisonpittman.com and send me an email. It is one of my greatest joys to hear from you!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
