Description
Lizzie Ware's life revolves around family, Jesus, and Baseball. But when you're a small-town Oklahoma preacher's daughter in a pre-Title IX world, following your true calling isn't going to be easy. By drawing on inspiration from the Gospels of Walt Whitman, Bill Evans, and Mickey Mantle, however, Lizzie will find her way.
Late Life is a gentle, nostalgic, coming-of-age story written in the style of a fictionalized, thoughtful memoir. In Late Life, Author Randolph Feezell's Cather-esque sensitivities will leave readers with an aching respect for the Great Plains of Lizzie's childhood, and a hankering to hear the crack of a bat under a fine, clear sky.
