The Wide Turn Toward Home is a novella and short fiction collection by Scott Winkler.
Baseball becomes a lens and a barometer for exploring the lives of the characters who experience the
magic and
pain of hope, loss, and understanding themselves in the world in which they attempt to function.
Unexpected
moments catch them off-guard and compel them to make very difficult choices, as in the title novella,
where
an aging ballplayer must choose between the game he loves and running the family farm. Most of the
stories in
the volume occur in a distinctly midwestern Wisconsin setting. Mr. Winkler's stories are written in
precise
prose that possesses an ear for both the honesty of a story well-told and the music of language. The
result is
a collection of work that makes the stomach believe.
The Wide Turn Toward Home is also available as an ebook on Amazon.com for the Kindle.
