Description:
“A moonlit novel about baseball, dreams, family, the land,
and literature." – Sports Illustrated.
“If you build it, he will come.” These
mysterious words, spoken by an Iowa baseball announcer, inspire Ray Kinsella to
carve a baseball diamond in his cornfield in honor of his hero, the baseball
legend Shoeless Joe Jackson. What follows is both a rich, nostalgic look at one
of our most cherished national pastimes and a remarkable story about fathers
and sons, love and family, and the inimitable joy of finding your way home.
