Joe Ciotola is 5o year old man who is a well respected gentleman and until recently a General Manager for a very successful small market Major league baseball team. The only dream that is seems to have missed is to work for the beloved Yankees who were his childhood favorite team. Maybe it had something to do with being from the Bronx. But with all this success there have plenty that he has sacrificed to get there and now it is time to take a break. But his life is fixing to take a major changed when he stops in a town called Salvation this has to be a town straight out of a Stephen King story and meets a person by the name of Mia. This was a decent story and held my attention but I did have a couple problems the first is that the first have of the book seem that there were instances that were repeated over and over maybe just a little different version and the other is overall the story is just a little to sappy and a little forced at the end. Therefore I give this a rating of 3 1/2 stars

What a great story. I loved the characters, the flow of the story and the saving of a child in need, Each of the characters had their endearing qualities and as the story progressed you learned more about each one. The relationships between them were encouraging to see, and the religious aspects of the good and bad in people were handled well. It was a story about people who made the most of the opportunities they received, even though life had not always been perfect. They seemed made for each other, each filling a space in the lives of the others. I received this book free from Netgalley in exchange of a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

This is a story about Mia and her adoptive father and soon to be mother. Mia rescued from a religious cult must acclimate herself to society with the help of her rescuer and a woman he knows from his previous job as a GM of a baseball club. You learn a little about the baseball culture which is interesting. There is a love story. This book is about relationships and love.
