The Catholic Spirit Review Honors the People Behind the Pages

A heartfelt thank you to Madelyn Reichert at The Catholic Spirit for the thoughtful, beautifully written review of A Season on the Drink. She captured what this story is about with clarity and compassion. I’m grateful for the attention she brought to the deeper themes behind the book.

The St. Anthony Residence’s 1986 softball season was never just about baseball. At its core, it is a story about belonging, finding dignity, and seeing the full humanity of the men who made up that remarkable team. Their community was imperfect and unexpected, but real. That’s exactly the spirit I hoped to bring to life in this book.
