Opis

Harding Ambler has a bright future. Hailed as the next Mickey Mantle by scouts, the young baseball phenomenon dreams of playing professionally and hitting home runs over Fenway Park's Green Monster wall. He's got a steady girlfriend, and they're seriously discussing marriage after graduation.

Harding's dreams come crashing down when he finds himself wrongfully convicted as an accomplice to murder and sentenced to fifteen years. Instead of hitting homers in Fenway Park, he's serving time in a prison the inmates refer to as "The Monster."

His life in tatters, Harding could easily fall into despair. A chance meeting with a fellow baseball-loving inmate, however, offers the young man a spiritual lifeline. Even in prison, baseball can remain part of his life, if he can convince the prison's fractious inmates to work as a team. With luck, determination, and the help of a mysterious figure from his past, Harding may yet get to hit one "Over the Monster."

A tale of redemption, romance, spirituality, and baseball, "Over the Monster"adds a new legend to the ever-growing mythology of the baseball diamond.
