A heartwarming time-slip novel about an ordinary man, the regrets he carries, and the impossible second chance that lets him walk back through his own life. Baseball, marriage, and the what-ifs everyone wonders about, with Wrigley Field at its heart.
Joseph Denton is a man happy with his life. Sure, he'd do a few things differently if he had the chance, but who wouldn't? Given a do-over, he'd be an architect instead of a pharmacist. It's not that he dislikes being a pharmacist; he had just always wanted to design buildings more. Given one more chance, he'd make it so he and his wife could've kids. He was sure he'd enjoy being a father, but his wife would've loved being a mother even more.
And of course more money would be nice. But some things have to be accepted as they're. Make the best of things. That's what we're told, and Joe was doing exactly that, accepting all things as they were, except one: he wanted the Cubs to win another World Series. Then the question "what if?" stops being idle, and Joe has to choose what a do-over is truly worth.
A Long Walk Home is a standalone novel, for readers who love second-chance stories, baseball lore, and heartfelt time-slip fiction. Perfect for fans of W.P. Kinsella, Mitch Albom, and Audrey Niffenegger.
