Join author Pat Harris as he discusses his book "A Season on the Drink".
About the book: Based on a true story, The Residence’s fast-pitch softball team is remarkable in the extreme. The unlikely teammates who take the field have fallen out of society, landing into a safety-net haven for chronic alcoholics. Nonetheless, their story reveals how a shared purpose can provide hope even in the darkest circumstances.
Some Praise Quotes: “A Season on the Drink is a story of challenge, hope, and coming together as a team to do something extraordinary that can transform—even for a moment…It’s a story of redemption, dignity and purpose.” —Dave Winfield, National Baseball Hall of Famer.” “The joy of this wonderful book is the hunt. We search for ourselves in each of the characters. Adapt, examine, identify, discard. Like a great painting, A Season on the Drink is immersive in the best sense.” —Mike Veeck, former MLB executive & current Minor League team owner
