Thanks to Joe Gallagher of The Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group I am giving away 2 copies of Calico Joe to my U.S. readers.
A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball…
It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and headed for home.

The team suddenly needed someone to play first, so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player in AA and creating a buzz.
