Home Essentials: Little League Life Lessons
"This is a story about a team that becomes a family and a family that becomes a team. . . a wonderful book." -- Cal Ripken, Jr.
"A MUST READ!" -- USA TODAY (ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2023)
When her brother dies from cancer, and then her mother just four months later, Teresa Strasser has no one to mourn with but her irresponsible, cantankerous, trailerpark-dwelling father. Making It Home is a bracingly honest journey through grief, self-doubt, and anxiety armed with humor and optimism.
As her son embarks on his first season pitching in Little League, Teresa and Nelson form a grief group of two in beach chairs lined up behind the first base line. There are no therapeutically trained facilitators and no rules other than those dictated by the Little League of America, and the human heart. For Teresa and her father, the stages of grief are the draft, the regular season, and the playoffs. One season of baseball becomes the framework for a memoir about family, loss, and the fundamentals of baseball and life.
They cheer, talk smack about other teams, scream at each other in the parking lot, and care way too much about Little League. After all, America's pastime may be just a game, but it always leaves room for redemption, even at the bottom of the lineup.
