James McConnell?s one wish is that his nine-year-old son will finally be healthy enough to play a game of catch. Then he and his wife, Emily, receive news they?ve dreaded: Aaron?s cancer has relapsed.As the family steels themselves for a draining treatment regimen in yet another hospital, Aaron receives the gift of a lifetime?a personal visit from one of his favorite professional baseball players?and the chance to make a bold request, his wish: to see his dad play in one major league game.A former college standout, James fears he doesn?t have the talent it takes, even for one game, and that he?ll miss what could be Aaron?s precious last weeks. Yet how can he refuse his dying son?s wish?Poignant and triumphant, Wish is the story of a father?s love, a family?s perseverance, and the miracles that can happen when you believe in the impossible. Review "Wish pulled at my heartstrings like few books ever have. Its a poignant reminder that life, like any great game, is less about the final score and more about how we play. Baseball fan or not, youll find something to love." --Kevin Milne, author of One Good Thing "A delightful, remarkable debut novel, Wish reveals the power of faith and love in the most difficult of times. But it is more a story of hope than heartbreak. I recommend it highly." --Dan Walsh, bestselling author of The Unfinished Gift"Wish grabs a hold of your hand and beautifully walks you through baseballs greatest potential. As a father who loves the game, I came away from the story realizing I have not wished enough in my life." --Doug Glanville, ESPN baseball analyst, author of The Game From Where I Stand, and former MLB Player "A heartbreaking--yet uplifting and totally enthralling--novel about fathers and sons and families. Its a triumphant tale of the mysteries and wonder of our own humanity." --Doug Stanton, New York Times bestselling author "A moving and magical story about the things we hold most dear. Wish will grab hold of your heart."--Jason F. Wright, NYT bestselling author of Christmas Jars"What a great read! It was like watching a dream come true before your very eyes. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it." --Bobby Richardson, former New York Yankee (55-66) "The subject of bone marrow transplantation lies close to my heart, as my father received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1990 for his pioneering work in the field. Wish captures the human story behind the science with remarkable insight and compassion. Anyone who has ever endured--or simply imagined--the emotional rollercoaster of a critical childhood illness in the family will be deeply affected by this book. --E. Donnall Thomas Jr. M.D.
