Description: Twelve-year-old Peter Lee and his family are baseball lovers, who bond over back lot games and talk of the Pittsburgh Pirates. But when tragedy strikes, the family flies apart and baseball no longer seems to matter. Is that true? Peter wonders if just maybe the game they love can pull them together and bring them back, safe at home. Peter hopes that if he joins a Little League team in Pittsburgh, he can reawaken the passion for baseball that all the members of his family used to share before his older brother's death.
