Praise for Evvie Drake Starts Over A quirky, sweet, and splendid story of a woman coming into her own.
A joyful, hilarious, and hope-filled debut, Evvie Drake Starts Over will have you cheering for the two most unlikely comebacks of the year--and will leave you wanting more from Linda Holmes.
To move forward, Evvie and Dean will have to reckon with their pasts--the friendships they\'ve damaged, the secrets they\'ve kept--but in life, as in baseball, there\'s always a chance--up until the last out.
Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken--and what Starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more.
When he 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.
As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Dean\'s future.
Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andy\'s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the yips he can\'t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can\'t figure out why.
Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn\'t correct them.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR In a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth Evvie Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husband\'s death in a car crash.
