There is the boy who danced with ghosts, the greatest baseball moment ever, and the almost-a-disaster day. There are stories of braving war, of daring the difficulties of immigration, and of enjoying the simple pleasures of friendship and sports -- stories of joy and sadness, mistakes and triumphs, courage and love.This warm and intimate novel is an inspiring portrait of a truly memorable family.
