Magic Season: A Son's Story of Family and Forgiveness by Wade Rouse

4.0

I guarantee that I would never have picked this book up on my own because baseball is not my preferred reading topic and I don't know much about it. BUT two things pushed me to read it: 1) this was the May 2023 pick for the Mom Advice Summer Book Club and 2) I finally realized that Wade Rouse is the author behind [a:Viola Shipman|14056193|Viola Shipman|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1681334831p2/14056193.jpg] - he writes absolutely wonderful women's fiction under his grandmother's name. I ended up really enjoying this memoir of a father-son relationship that perseveres despite some pretty tough stuff including a lot of homophobia from Rouse's father. I will be adding this to my list of "books for dads" in the near future!
