A story about the fight for equal rights in America's favorite arena: the baseball field! Every boy in the neighborhood knows Katy Gordon is their best pitcher, even though she's a girl. But when she tries out for Little League, it's a whole different story. Girls are not eligible, period. It is a boy's game and always has been. It's not fair, and Katy's going to fight back. Inspired by what she's learning about civil rights in school, she sets out to prove that she's not the only girl who plays baseball. With the help of friendly librarians and some tenacious research skills, Katy discovers the forgotten history of female ball players. Why does no one know about them? Where are they now? And how can one ten-year-old change people’s minds about what girls can do? Set in 1957—the world of Sputnik and Leave It to Beaver, saddle shoes and "Heartbreak Hotel"—Out of Left Field is both a detailed picture of a fascinating historic period and a timelessly inspiring story about standing up for equality at any age.

Traveling the long route to a modern Oz, the characters search for courage, heart, and brains in this comical examination of romance.

The year is 1999 and Tonya Sommers’ life is as promising as one could imagine. Graduating Valedictorian, popular among all the students, and well known in her church; she spends Friday nights caring for her invalid grandmother. Engaged to a prominent real estate broker and headed for a top University with legacy ties to one of the larger sororities, it would seem that all she had to do was enjoy the ride. The halls of higher education will many times take the form of a moral, social labyrinth and Tonya finds herself caught in an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual whirlwind of conflicting beliefs, voided convictions, paper thin assurances, and the disturbed realization of her own sexuality… Manipulation in life’s entirety marks the devious archetype of Glen Forrest. His motivations are singular and egocentric while his words are rehearsed and inauthentic. Once you understand his business, his actions will not surprise you; but when the perversions of a middle age man spill from the beach bars into this University schoolyard justice, amends, and redemption find definition without the help of a courtroom… Jason Lancer has a problem he does not have a clue how to fix. Instead, he surrounds himself with the simple objective pleasures afforded by money and drugs. The little University town in which he lives enables his delusions of grandiosity. As each graduating class departs, the newest students always bring a fresh set of opportunities with them that Jason’s refined cool has had no problem exploiting. Yet, when he is introduced to Tonya his cool gives way to a genuine yearning and he dismissively finds himself driven beyond all limits… Waves, women, and weed are Raymond Meyers’ three favorite things. So a University near his home beach with a five to one girl to guy ratio, near a major spring break destination, seemed to him a no-brainer. When he meets Jason he settles into a school connection and when he meets Tonya he thinks he falls in love. Love as seen from a school boy’s perspective can be devastating and Ray plays the role precisely… William Barrett excels at two things. He knows how to survive on the leftovers and he knows his drums well enough to get him into college early, on a full ride, even when the chair of the department will swear, “He is only fifteen years-old and I've seen his middle school transcript. He is a discipline problem…” Welcome to Mercy Town
