KIU, Western Campus c��?? As the new year begins, we all have to start over because of the challenges brought asbout by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lives were changed, livelihoods lost and even some lives lost. This book will inspire you to start anew and have faith that this year will be your breakthrough.

In a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth c��?Evviec⬝ Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husbandc��?cs death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesnc��?ct correct them.

Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andyc��?cs childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the c��?yipsc⬝: he canc��?ct throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he canc��?ct figure out why. As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Deanc��?cs future.

When he moves into an apartment at the back of Evviec��?cs house, the two make a deal: Dean wonc��?ct ask about Evviec��?cs late husband, and Evvie wonc��?ct ask about Deanc��?cs baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being brokenc��?�and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. To move forward, Evvie and Dean will have to reckon with their pastsc��?�the friendships theyc��?cve damaged, the secrets theyc��?cve keptc��?�but in life, as in baseball, therec��?cs always a chancec��?�up until the last out.
