Rally on Two

Book Cover & Preview Text
Hank's feet jerked underneath the sweat soaked sheets, and the sudden movement forced him away from his dream. He quickly opened his blood-shot eyes, and, as it often did now, his mind raced to determine whether he was waking from a dream or whether he was still asleep. But it wasn't really a dream; it was more like a nightmare that played over and over again. The one where he is running to save Charlie. Where he trips, and his feet move apart involuntarily. He can't sleep past that part. But in that dream, or nightmare or whatever it was, Charlie was still with him. Every time he woke up, he held on to that instant hope that what has happened has only been a bad dream. As the fog lifted from his brain, Hank raised his head from the mattress and rolled his feet to the floor. He surveyed the bedroom. The clock read five twenty-two a.m. Although it was still dark outside, the street light cloaked the house with a faint glow, and he could see the TV and the dresser with the framed pictures sitting atop it. He realized again, as he had almost every morning that he awoke from that dream, that it was only that: a dream. This was his real life. And Charlie wasn't with him anymore.

About the Book
In Rally on Two, Hank Bennett was happily married with a young child until he loses everything in a devastating accident. While trying to cope with the realities of his new life, Hank is also trying to manage an ongoing law practice. While struggling to make it day to day, he is assigned a pro bono criminal case where a young boy is fighting to prove his innocence, and he takes on a whistle-blower case that may finally provide the answers to explain a family’s untimely death. Hank’s chance at recovery is strengthened when he is asked to coach a local little league team. In many ways, his time working with his young baseball players becomes a metaphor for Hank’s life. Hank begins to understand that just like in baseball, there are wins and losses in everyone’s life. At the end of the day, when Hank is facing two outs in his own life, he has the chance to give up or fight for his own redemption. He has the chance to “rally on two.” The question is - can he do it?
