As American As Apple Pie

I felt like I knew Katie by the time we travelled to all 30 ballparks in America. Actually as a huge baseball fan, I'm a little envious and happy for her all the same. The baseball theme is what attracted me to this book but it was more than I expected. While at certain stops in some cities, I wished there had been more attention the details of the park or the game she saw - I was ultimately pulled in to her story. Katie had planned to visit these parks with her mother, whose life was taken by cancer before it could happen. Katie herself was later diagnosed with cancer too and showed bravery by making this journey happen and documenting it with letters to her mom which lets us in to her emotional and nostalgic thoughts. In this way, Katie's mom was there. She still made the trip to all of America's ballparks. You'll enjoy taking the trip with them too. Oh and you'll enjoy the photo from each park with a sympbolic splash of red. An advance copy of the book was available for me without obligation of a favorable review.
