But it never happens. Though Danny's efforts finally pay off and he becomes a skilled player, his struggle to win his father's love seems hopeless...Here is a heart-felt book about sports, alcoholism, and hard-won family love that delivers an encouraging message and packs a tremendous emotional punch." -From the Publisher
