The Comeback Season

by Jennifer E Smith

The Comeback Season Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The last place Ryan Walsh should be this afternoon is on a train heading to Wrigley Field. She should be in class, enduring yet another miserable day of her first year of high school. But for once, Ryan isn't thinking about what she should be doing. She's not worried about her lack of friends, or her suffering math grade, or how it's been five whole years since the last time she was really and truly happy. Because she's finally returning to the place that her father loved, where the two of them spent so many afternoons cheering on their team. And on this — the fifth anniversary of his death — it feels like there's nowhere else in the world she should be.

Ryan is once again filled with hope as she makes her way to the game. Good luck is often hard to come by at a place like Wrigley Field, but it's on this day that she meets Nick, the new kid from her school, who seems to love the Cubs nearly as much as she does. But Nick carries with him a secret that makes Ryan wonder if anyone can ever really escape their past, or believe in the promise of those reassuring words: "Wait till next year." Is it too much for Ryan to hope that this year, this season, might be her comeback season?

Synopsis:

The heartbreakingly beautiful lovestory is now in paperback.

Synopsis:

Ryan's father loved the Chicago Cubs. Now that he's gone, her only link to him is watching games. When Ryan skips school on opening day, she finds herself with Nick, the hot new boy who has also cut school for the big day. A relationship blossoms, but can their young love survive Nick's secret?
