A Splintered Dream

It is the story of Cape Jeffers, pegged as the next Mickey Mantle for the New York Yankees. The story starts out with Jeffers’ nanny attending what seems to be The Oprah Winfrey Show and ends with Jeffers’ being told he was going to be a Yankee on her show; going on to make the winning hit for the first game of the season.

Cape Jeffers has everything going for him: the top spot on each team as they move him up ladder to the Majors, the woman of his dreams, a $6 million contract, and a future so bright he needs sunglasses 24/7. Then, the rug flies out from underneath: his wife dies after pre-mature childbirth, the man he trusted with his fortune has been arrested for mismanagement of funds/theft by taking in the billions, and he has to choose between baseball and raising the only part left of his beloved wife, his daughter, Jules. This is the comeback-kid of all stories. You will cheer, laugh, cry, and stand in ovation. If you are a baseball fan or just need a hero, it is all right here.
