Book Overview
Jewish Joe Singer has it all--star pitcher in the big leagues; happily married; hero to kids all over--until he is implicated with gamblers, suspended indefinitely from baseball, abandoned by his wife, and reviled by fans young and old. As Joe fights to come back in life and in the game, he is forced at last to make peace with himself and with the God of Jewish athletes. What happens along the way is moving, occasionally terrifying, and consistently humorous.

A thrilling tale of redemption
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I initially read this book on vacation 13 years ago and was looking for a hard cover version. A very entertaining tale of redemption for a Jewish former phenom who fell on hard times. A great vacation read.

A DECIDEDLY MASCULINE BOOK THAT SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM APPEALING TO THE FAIRER SEX. ERIC GOODMAN IS NOT ONLY A TALENTED AUTHOR BUT A MUCH LAUDED PROFESSOR OF THE ART AT INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS: UCLA AND MIAMI OF OHIO (WALLY SCZERBIAK!). I HIGHLY RECOMEND READING THIS NOVEL NOT ONLY FOR ITS ENTERTAINMENT VALUE BUT SIMPLY TO SUPPORT AN OFTEN EMPTY GENRE- THE SPORTS BOOK , WITH SUBSTANCE.
that book really had a impact on the way i see things now.
