Soccer On Sunday In The Park

What can kicking a ball across a field teach us about life, about relationships, about striving for success and avoiding failure?  What can a game reveal about who we are, our desires, and our fears?  What does a reality TV hopeful, a 19'th Century industrialist, and the philosopher Albert Camus have to do with any of this?  The answers can be found in "Soccer On Sunday In The Park."

   This novel, written in a diary format, follows a group of people who gather weekly for an informal game.  They come from different backgrounds and generations, and have diverse sensibilities, yet they discover that what unites them on the field is more important than their differences.  The story is a celebration of community, cooperation, and keeping active. 

   As the ball skitters and bounces across the grass, the players in pursuit, each strives in their own ways to find the beauty in the game.  They play a simple game, and yet very much more than a game.  "Soccer On Sunday In The Park" is full of surprises to the last kick.
