Joe Field had never met his father. "He was a firefighter," his mother told him. "He was in the Air Force," she said another time. She never even told Joe the man's name! Growing up rough--poor, kidnapped and evicted so many times he lost count--school was Joe's refuge. Eventually he became a lawyer, but in a few years lost even that. He had a family of his own when he prayed on Father's Day 2016 to find his birth father. By the grace of God, he found his father and so much more, and in the process discovered that through all those years of seeking, his heavenly Father had been seeking him."
A collection of all the known Martha Washington papers.

What follows is a timeless story that is “not so much about baseball as it is about dreams, magic, life, and what is quintessentially American” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). “A triumph of hope.” —The Boston Globe “A moonlit novel about baseball, dreams, family, the land, and literature.” —Sports Illustrated
The Broadway musical has greatly influenced American (and world) culture. Such shows as Oklahoma! and Annie Get Your Gun are as 'American as apple pie,' while the long runs of imports like Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, and Les MisZrables have broken records.
