"For some crazy reason, fate has chosen me to bring Monet's trove of artwork into the world." Melvin Flack has given up on his dream of becoming an artist until he discovers 14 paintings hidden in a derelict building in the Bronx. To his shock, they're signed by his idol, Claude Monet. And the subject! Is it possible Monet designed Yankee Stadium in 1921? If these paintings are authentic, who gets the 600 million dollars they'll get at auction? And what's in the mysterious journal that Mel finds with the art? Suddenly everything that Mel has given up on seems within his grasp. Can he redeem his past as a failed artist? Can he find someone to glorify with his art, who can love him? Is Claude Monet, through the words in his journal, whispering in Mel's ear, inspiring him? The stakes couldn't be higher when bilious billionaire, real estate kingpin Holcombe Parkes claims the paintings. Mel fights like his whole life is on the line... because it is. With Claude Monet Designs Yankee Stadium, author R. Lee Procter has created an astonishing, comical and deeply moving romantic adventure like no other.
Autorenporträt
R. Lee Procter understands the power that stories have to change lives. He's studied timeless tales of transformation like A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life. These stories invite us on an emotional journey to the lives we were born to live: joyous, generous, loving and beautiful. Procter has worked in advertising, television and as an Imagineer for the Walt Disney Company. His previous novel, Sugarball, told the astonishing-and-true story of Negro League baseball players almost losing their lives in the Dominican Republic in 1937, only to find their place in baseball history as "the best of the best." Sanity Clause is Procter's latest: a timeless tale as bright as the star on top of the tree, and satisfying as homemade hot chocolate on a cold winter night.
