Baseball star Cory Brand knows how to win. But off the field, he’s spiraling out of control. Haunted by old wounds and regrets, his future seems as hopeless as his past. Until one moment—one mistake—changes everything. To save his career, Cory must go back to the town where it all began. His plan is simple: coach the local baseball team, complete a recovery program, and get out as fast as possible. Instead, he runs headfirst into memories he can’t escape ... and the love he left behind. Faced with a second chance he never expected, Cory embarks on a journey of faith, transformation and redemption. And along the way, he discovers a powerful truth: no one is beyond the healing of God.  A novel based on the major motion picture starring Vivica A. Fox and Scott Elrod, Home Run is an inspirational story of the hope and freedom God offers each of us. www.HomeRunTheMovie.com

Well written, this book describes how a human being, hurting and proud, doesn't find the way out of the dark tunnel of pain and failure, until he meets a living God, the only One who never gave up on him and patiently, graceful, waited for him to surrender, so that He could give him true identity & value, purpose & direction.

5,0 su 5 stelle Home Run: A great book from Travis Thrasher
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 maggio 2013

This is a most unusual novelization of a movie, because it is so much more than the movie. In fact, it feels to me like the book came first, and it was so good, they decided to make a movie out of it. But of course, the movie had to leave a lot out in order to keep it under three hours.

I saw the movie first, and it was good. Then I read the book, which was already waiting on my Kindle. What a movie can't do is let you hear the thoughts going through the minds of the characters. Travis Thrasher did an excellent job of portraying the helplessness, anger, and denial of an alcoholic, as well as the pain and confusion of the people surrounding him. We get glimpses into Cory Brand's memories and that lets us see his progression into addictive behavior. We hear his thoughts and feelings in reaction to the events in his current life. And then we see him begin to catch on to recovery, and to the place God has in his life.

The story pulls us in from the beginning. It is full of ordinary people struggling with life's pains and joys, like we all do. The baseball setting adds interest and humor. It was hard for me to put down, even though I already knew how it ended from seeing the movie.

Thanks, Travis, for another fascinating book.

4,0 su 5 stelle A man learns forgiveness and redemption
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 febbraio 2015

I usually resist reading novelizations of movies. Often hurriedly written, based completely on a movie script, novelizations are often marked by poor writing and a story less than satisfying than the movie itself. I particularly resist novelizations of movies I haven’t heard of, or that I’ve heard of but haven’t seen.

“Home Run” by Travis Thrasher is a bad example of the point I’m trying to make. I hadn’t seen or heard of the movie. And it’s ostensibly about baseball; I’m not a fan of sports novels. But I read this book. And I read simply because of the author who wrote it.

Chicago-based Thrasher is a fine writer. I’ve read nearly all of his books. “Sky Blue” (2007) is one of my favorite novels (I’ve read it twice, and it gets better the second time.) He’s written across a number of fiction genres, and does all of them very well indeed.

So I trusted the author and read “Home Run,” based on the script for the movie of the same name. And I met a hero who’s one of the most despicable human beings you’re likely to come across.

Corey Brand plays baseball for the Denver Grizzlies. If there’s one thing Corey knows how to do, it’s hit home runs. It may be the only admirable thing about him. Arrogant, unfeeling, uncaring, disconnected from his brother and his family. Drives fast cars, and drives them fast. Endless streams of women.

And alcohol. Corey Brand has a serious substance abuse problem. He’s in a hitting slump, and it’s contract renewal time.

His agent packs him off to Okmulgee, Oklahoma, his home town. He has to spend eight weeks in a rehab program. Even before he arrives in town, he totals his rental car and injures his brother in the process.

And in his hometown, Corey has to face and confront his past, including the dead father who’s verbal abuse drove Corey away and shaped him into what he’s become, good and bad. And he has to face and confront the girlfriend he left behind, the girlfriend who was pregnant.

Like I said, a pretty despicable human being.

But Thrasher tells a good story. He’s not content simply to pull from a movie script. He ads depth to the characters. He adds depth to the story. And what could have been just another thin novelization becomes a story worth telling and a story worth reading, about how a man learns forgiveness and finds redemption.

I was right to trust my gut about a Travis Thrasher story.

This book kept me enthralled from beginning to end! I had seen the movie before reading it, and having been touched by Cory's story on film, looked forward to 'hearing' it in more detail. Travis Thrasher captured the characters in such a way that I felt I was participating in the story. I got to know Cory so well that if I met him in person I'd feel like I'd known him for years. His story moved me in a whole new way with this further insight into his character. I would recommend this book for everyone to read! It touches on so many aspects of life that it can't be placed in one single category. I enjoyed it so much that I have since read a number of other Travis Thrasher books, including the latest, "Never Let Go".

5,0 su 5 stelle Excellent story!!! Really loved this one!

WOW! What an amazing book. Can't wait to see the movie, which the book is a novelization of, so I shouldn't be disappointed. This is not a story about baseball. That just happens to be the guys job. This is a story of recovery, forgiveness, asking for help when we realize that we can't do it alone.

Cory and Clay are brothers who grew up with a drunk, abusive father who's father had been abusive to him. Then comes the pain and wanting to numb the pain and not have to deal with certain things. It starts with one drink! And soon there's a pattern that everyone can see but the addict. After an incident, Cory finds himself suspended from playing and is forced to return home where he's 'ambushed' into coaching a little league baseball team. His ex-girlfriend is also a coach and they are thrown together to work through some tough issues.

The story was amazing and well worth reading. Fast paced!
