Summary

Gene Moore, from tiny Sesser, Illinois, was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers at age 15 in 1940. Before that could happen, World War II intervened. Gene's journey from promise to despair and back again, set against a long war and an even longer post-war recovery, retains every bit of its vitality and relevance. A 20th-century epic that demonstrates how, sometimes, letting go of a dream is the only way to discover one's great fortune
