Produktbeschreibung

Richie McGinn's life is as unglamourous as it could get. Working a dead-end job delivering pizzas in the busy streets of Yonkers, his only real joy comes from watching the Yankees with his brother - whenever they can afford it, that is. But when his boss sends him out on a delivery to a homeless shelter, Richie starts to feel like maybe there are other options out there for him, and when Pizza Palace closes down, it turns out to be the kick in the butt he needs to take the plunge. But being a caseworker ends up being a completely new ballgame, and it's one he has no idea how to play. A poignant coming of age novel, for anyone leaving college and still trying to find their place in the world. ___ Endorsements Hard knocks absorbed growing up in the greatest city in the world, the comfort of baseball and the Yankees, and a coming of age story beautifully told, Chris Febles has knocked it out of the park with Richie the Caseworker. Joe Drape New York Times bestselling author of Our Boys: A Perfect Season on the Plains with the Smith Center Redmen.
