Book Overview

"A beautiful, poignant and, yes, magical memoir that captures the tough and tender bonds between father and son." --John Searles, New York Times bestselling author of Her Last Affair

As a queer kid in a conservative Ozarks community, Wade Rouse struggled at a young age to garner his father Ted's approval and find his voice. But Wade and Ted had one thing in common: an undying love for the St. Louis Cardinals. When his father's health takes a turn for the worse, Wade returns to southwest Missouri. Together, during their own magic season, they'll move toward forgiveness, reconciliation and peace.

Heartfelt, hilarious and lovingly rendered, Magic Season is an unforgettable story of love, family and forgiveness set against the backdrop of America's favorite pastime.

"This glorious memoir hits it out of the park." --Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of With or Without You
