Woody

In the first book of three under the overall title FOLKSONG SUITE, Angus Woodley Twigg is a blue-chip baseball prospect labeled "can't miss." Except that he suffers a career-ending injury before his first at bat in St. Louis. Unfolding from there is a most unusual coming-of-age novel as he discovers new meaning in his life, rises, fails, and rises again to the heights of community recognition and appreciation.
