DESCRIPTION:
enthralling exploration of relationships, baseball and love Sheila Deeth Not having grown up American, baseball's a foreign sport to me, and the name Tyrus Cobb is an unknown. It's kind of sad to think his father never saw him play baseball though--sadder still to think his mother maybe killed his father. But that's just the prequel to J. Conrad Guest's the Cobb Legacy. The story opens 100 years later with 50-year-old Cagney in therapy trying to determine the natures of love, sex and forgiveness while taking time off from writing his great American novel on the death of the baseball. Scandal to Love Karen S. Lindgren Even though my interest in baseball is only fair, I was caught up in this story of love and forgiveness built around it. It is very well written as it moved me to think more deeply of life and living it fully. It definitely is a prompt for thinking about those important aspects of life - love and the application of them in my life as well as engrossing and entertaining. I found I love this story so much that I have read it at least 3 to 4 times! Thank you J. Conrad Guest for another intriguing and uniquely spec. Great Read Kurt Baron The book had a grabbing senstation in that I did not want to put it down once I got into it.
The Cobb Legacy is the story of a man's efforts to connect with his dying father, a World War II veteran suffering from PTSD, while coming to terms with his own adulterous affair and impending divorce, doubting that love with an old friend can be his.
