Description: "How much is a father's love worth? Jason Thibodeaux has a $42 million contract to pitch for the Colorado Rockies and a romantic bachelor lifestyle when the son he lost in a searching custody battle reappears in his life. 'Home, Away' follows Thibodeaux's colorful rise to the pinnacle of Major League baseball and his agonized decision to quit in his prime to care for his troubled son. Their evolving relationship and resulting confrontations -- on the baseball field and off -- tests the limits of familial loyalty and the meaning of fatherhood itself" --P. [4] of cover.
