The Heart's Frontier by Lori Copeland

The Heart's Frontier by Lori Copeland

This is an audiobook about young men who learned to play baseball during the 1930s and 1940s, and then went on to play for one of the most exciting major-league ball clubs ever fielded, the team that broke the color barrier with Jackie Robinson. It is an audiobook by and about a sportswriter who grew up near Ebbets Field, and who had the good fortune in the 1950s to cover the Dodgers for the Herald Tribune. This is a book about what happened to Jackie, Carl Erskine, Pee Wee Reese, and the others when their glory days were behind them. In short, it is an audiobook about America, about fathers and sons, prejudice and courage, triumph and disaster, and told with warmth, humor, wit, candor, and love.

A work of high purpose and poetic accomplishment. The finest American book on sports. --James Michener

"The Heart's Frontier is one of the most compelling western romances I've ever readThe authors wove fun and laughter into the storyline, along with all the ruggedness and dangers of the frontier-specifically, the famous Chisholm Trail. This is Amish-meets-Wild West at its hoof-thundering, heart pounding, Plain old best." -Delia Latham, author of the Solomon's Gate Series "I was impressed with how well this book was written and researched. The characters' back stories and personalities were revealed expertly over the length of the story; I felt I was coming to know them all as naturally as if I were another character in the book. I definitely recommend this exciting, yet gentle story of the power of faith, hard work, and family in overcoming prejudice and evil." -Cayenne DaBell "I found this a good book to wrangle with on the patio swing, with my gal at my side." -Alan Daugherty "The Heart's Frontier was a great read from cover to cover. I loved the telling of the story through humor and faith." -Patti Chauza "Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith spin a fast-paced, romantic tale with a rich historical setting." -Susan Kroupa, susankroupa.com "How can you not love this book? Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith made it feel as if I was traveling with everyone on the wagon and I hated for this book to end." -Tonya Speelman
