Abstract
What if a father of three sons managed to live a 24/7 baseball existence as a coach and a player? What if his wife became as obsessed with running to fill her husband’s long absences and avoid dealing with their estranged son living nearby? Would this family life be sustainable even in a small New England town?
Through a series of short stories that shine various lights on the Mallett family and a novella that follows them during one baseball-filled day, A Month of Game Days is concerned with much more than sports as it shares the journeys of characters who are flawed, occasionally humorous, and sometimes travel into dark places while they engage in pastimes they love.
