Publisher's Synopsis
Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and often agonizing experience. The raw wound of Taylor's loss continues to ache, a constant reminder of the vibrant, beautiful life cruelly cut short. Many have suggested I find solace in therapy, in grief support groups, and while these have been beneficial, I found a uniquely powerful healing process in something unexpected: the 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers season. Our shared love of baseball, a constant in our relationship, became my lifeline, a conduit for channeling my grief and finding unexpected peace.
Following through on our plans to attend games, initially a torturous reminder of what we'd lost, transformed into an unexpected journey of healing and remembrance. This book is not just a story about baseball; it's a journey through the complexities of grief, a testament to the enduring power of love, and a celebration of the unexpected ways in which healing can find us, even in the darkest of times. This book documents that journey, from the crushing weight of loss to the surprising moments of peace found in the rhythm of the game, the roar of the crowd, and the remarkable winning streak of my beloved Dodgers. I hope my experience might offer comfort and a unique perspective to others navigating their own paths through grief. Above all, I hope this book honors Taylor's memory.
