Bottom-of-the-ninth dreams are the stuff that young boys are made of. But boys grow. Destiny arrives on the doorstep –or, more likely, fails to– and all the while mothers look on, impotent witnesses to the great unknown. Such is the turf of The Pitcher’s Mom, a novel about big dreams, cup shopping, bleacher barbs, sore arms, mothers and sons, wrestling destiny, and the sacrifices we make for love. Finally, a baseball book that captures the game—from Little League to the pros— from the mom's point of view.

"Heather Davis has a much better insight into the whole baseball process than almost any of the parents I've known over the last 50+ years. If you're a mom with a kid in the game, and you want to look at the big picture, "The Pitcher's Mom" is the story you should be reading."

--Artie Harris, L.A. Dodgers Scout, Draft Room Coordinator, Elite Team Coordinator, featured in the hit movie Moneyball

Marriage, parenting, having a career….Being Supermom was supposed to be so easy. And it was--right up until the children came along. Life is full of unexpected pain and pleasure, and there is a lesson in every experience. Rose Godfrey chronicled her family's homeschooling adventures in her first book, The Pig in the Pantry and Other Homeschool Tales. In this follow-up collection of essays, Rose reflects on life, parenting, and trusting God through difficult times. She ponders the tough questions: Does doing the laundry really make the washer get dirty? What if her children grow up before she does? How many pineapples does it take to induce labor? And, of course, should the cat be allowed to wear headphones? "Motherhood is divas and dancing girls, sword fights and silly songs, headphones on the cat, lizards in the laundry, broken hearts, and broken limbs. It is praying in the emergency room, crying in the night, kissing owies, cleaning boogers off the wall, and holding a puking child without letting go."
