Heroes Are Hard To Find

Through the magic of the mysterious Mac Swindell, Stormy Weathers, a crusty, brawling, womanizing but aging ballplayer, returns to his old high school in Dallas, Texas, disguised as Cal Lucas, 18-year-old baseball phenom. His mission: to not only redeem his one athletic failure before reclaiming his lofty status as a big league star but also establish contact with his mother, who inexplicably abandoned him as a small child. Stormy's rigid defiance of his new coach and of his moral, upstanding ways softens as Stormy, the old pro, ultimately discovers the true meaning of competition, friendship and even love from a bunch of amateurs. An epic showdown ensues between two relentless adversaries: Mac, backed by his mystical powers and a vested interest in Stormy's commitment to the unfair advantage; and Stormy, driven by his indomitable will and newfound ways. What happens when Stormy makes the ultimate sacrifice provides for a shocking and heartrending climax.Looney, George is the author of 'Heroes Are Hard To Find ' with ISBN 9781413716672 and ISBN 1413716679.
