The Fat Lady’s Low, Sad Song is a baseball player story told with authenticity from the heart, mind, and diamond. It is told in direct fashion while time releasing essential nuances throughout it. Both comedy and drama, it teeters back and forth between the players and their motivations, taking care to explore each one just deep enough to allow to empathy with them without making emotional, positive and negative, impacts that distract from the main storyline. Parker Westfall’s absolute last chance and hope for a shot to the majors leads the story. Parker’s game analysis will fill the reader’s mind and gut with pages of suspenseful and insightful baseball play and banter. The story reads fast and fun and will have one thinking about it when they are not reading it.

Sublime Line: “The Fat Lady’s Low Sad Song has the movement of the expected fastball, the tricky curve, and the unpredictable knuckleball.”
