Evvie Drake starts over

Holmes, Linda
Genre: 
"In a small town in Maine recently widowed Eveleth "Evvie" Drake rarely leaves her house. Everyone in town including her best friend Andy thinks grief keeps her locked inside and she doesn't correct them. In New York Dean Tenney former major-league pitcher and Andy's childhood friend is struggling with a case of the "yips": he can't throw straight anymore and he can't figure out why. An invitation from Andy to stay in Maine for a few months seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button. When Dean moves into an apartment at the back of Evvie's house the two make a deal: Dean won't ask about Evvie's late husband and Evvie won't ask about Dean's baseball career. Rules though have a funny way of being broken--and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. But before they can find out what might lie ahead they'll have to wrestle a few demons: the bonds they've broken the plans they've changed and the secrets they've kept. They'll need a lot of help but in life as in baseball there's always a chance--right up until the last out"--
