Game 5: Detroit 1968 is now available on Amazon. Game 5 is my two-part novel that tells the story of how 12 people from diverse backgrounds come together to attend Game 5 of the epic 1968 World Series between the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals at Tiger Stadium.
Part One: Sense of the Sacred, introduces you to the main characters and takes place from the golden age of baseball—for both the Major and Negro leagues—through 1967.
Part Two: Reconciliation, takes place in 1968 when the Tigers are the talk of Detroit as they march on during that hot summer to win the American League pennant while people dance to the sounds of Motown, debate the Vietnam war, grieve the loss of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy, and tune in to hear Ernie Harwell announce the play-by-play featuring Mickey Lolich, Al Kaline, Bill Freehan and other stars on that legendary Tiger team.
Although set in a different era, my novel deals with issues similar to those of today. Ultimately, Game 5 is a story of forgiveness, healing and hope—and above all, the triumph of love.
