Two soldiers. One American. One Japanese.
One thing in common - baseball!
World War II is coming to a violent close.
As the Battle of Okinawa rages on, American soldiers seize Shuri Castle and find a single survivor: Yuujin Miyano. The U.S. private put in charge of watching this prisoner is Eugene Durante. Although enemies, the two men find they have a common multi-generational bond: baseball. Their grandfathers bore witness to, and helped shape, the extraordinary birth of the game.
When the fighting ends, the two men return to their homes to face a postwar world neither expected.
Then both receive unexpected messages that will change their lives forever. Once more, the veterans will face off in a final dramatic clash.

"The magic of the enchanting prose only reflects the magic of baseball and life itself in this touching and impassioned debut novel. Tales of love, history, and friendship are masterfully woven together and culminate into one of the great baseball epics of our time."
- Frank Nappi, author of the Mickey Tussler series and Echoes from the Infantry
