Description:
Baseball star Cory Brand knows how to win. But off the field, he’s
spiraling out of control. Haunted by old wounds and regrets, his future
seems as hopeless as his past.
Until one
moment—one mistake—changes everything. To save his career, Cory must go
back to the town where it all began. His plan is simple: coach the local
baseball team, complete a recovery program, and get out as fast as
possible. Instead, he runs headfirst into memories he can’t escape ...
and the love he left behind.
Faced with a second
chance he never expected, Cory embarks on a journey of faith,
transformation and redemption. And along the way, he discovers a
powerful truth: no one is beyond the healing of God.
A novel based on the major motion picture starring Vivica A. Fox and Scott Elrod, Home Run is an inspirational story of the hope and freedom God offers each of us.
My Thoughts:
A book about freedom from addiction and anger, Home Run delivers quite a powerful story about the bonds of addiction. Cory grew up in a terrible home and even as an adult, he's having a terrible time letting go of the anger that all that abuse has generated in him. The book was very engaging and I ended up caught up in Cory's story. I found myself wanting to jump in the book to try to get through to him somehow so he could see that what he was doing by trying to drown his anger with alcohol. It was painful to watch him sink lower and lower in the prison of his drinking. I was moved to see Cory finally hitting rock bottom and turning his life around. I like the emphasis on Celebrate Recovery and the help that this program is giving people who struggle with all kinds of addictions and abuse.
