In a split second, all of my dreams were shattered. There’s no place on the mound for a pitcher with a bum shoulder. Going back home was not in the plan, but it’s the best place to heal. And to lay low. Media coverage on my injury is the last thing I need. The pretty massage therapist I’ve found is a welcome surprise. In the busyness of trying to live two lives—one a small-town boy and the other a big-time sports hero—I’m lost. This woman steps up and shows me some things I forgot all about. Passion in the midst of love. Family, friends, and healing in ways I couldn’t imagine. Seems like the old me isn’t at all who I am. And the joke is on me. This new guy wants to change everything for love.
