Official synopsis Publisher
From The Books Back Cover: Born and raised in the heart of Great Lakes Country, Isabelle Dorlon paid little attention to the baseball players patronizing her mother’s rooming house – until 1903 when Jack Weatherby moved in. Polite and reserved, he attracted her from the start. But as their friendship deepened, so did their troubles. Jack’s long-held dream of playing for the Erskine College Purple Stockings nearly drowned when spring floods washed his reputation down the river. How could he convince the other players that he was not the strike-out they assumed him to be? Isabelle could help Jack revive his chances for the Erskine nine. She could even steer her well-to-do, lovelorn chum, Judith Jamison, down the road to romance in a brand new Cadillac. But no matter how hard Isabelle tried, she couldn’t overcome the puzzling affliction which had plagued her since childhood. Would Jack’s affections fade away once he learned the truth about her humiliating flaw?
