Such a wonderful and easy read. It's a charming story. A father-son story wrapped in baseball and leukemia and bone marrow donation. The descriptions of baseball life felt accurate and while the book always reached for a happy ending it didn't feel forced or contrived. Some parts felt a tad on the sappy side but the easy narration made it pass quickly. What struck me the most was the lesson about being fully present and how being your best where you are at -- not where you think you should be or where you want to be or where you fear to be -- serves not just you but everyone.
