Overview

One tragic night. One homemade field. Three generations tied to a fence. When a late-night shooting rips through a small New England town, the cameras leave before the sirens stop. But factory worker Fred Davis refuses to look away. He clears a strip of land by the creek, hammers together a backstop, and builds a fence with a promise no kid in his neighborhood will ever believe life is only what happens on the six o'clock news. Board by board, that patch of dirt becomes a refuge where games last until dark, adults remember who they used to be, and a community fights to protect the one place that still belongs to the kids. Factories close. Families fray. Developers with clipboards and contracts circle the land. Yet the fence still stands-because some promises are worth defending with everything you have. A fierce, deeply human novel about community, second chances, and keeping one small field honest in a world that keeps moving the fences. Foreword by World Series Champion Bret Saberhagen From the homemade sandlots of 1969 to the billion-dollar youth sports machine of today, The Sandlot Trilogy follows three generations bound to one fence and one idea: games are meant to grow kids-not own them. The Sandlot Promise is the explosive prequel to The Sandlot Legacy and Book One of The Sandlot Trilogy. Perfect for fans of The Sandlot, Field of Dreams, Friday Night Lights, and anyone who still believes baseball can save a town. Get your copy of The Sandlot Promise and witness the moment that sparked a three-generation legacy. Because some promises deserve to be defended.
