Excerpt from Carolina Moonset by Matt Goldman, plus links to reviews, author biography & more

"Oh, hell, that was great," said my father as if the game had been played last night. "Guillén brought in Jenks in the bottom of the eighth to face Bagwell. Struck him out with a hundred-mile-an-hour fastball. High heat. I've never seen anything so beautiful."

"Eh-hem," said my mother.

"I stand corrected," said my father. "The most beautiful thing I've ever seen is Konerko's grand slam in game two."

My mother laughed and said, "Oh, Marshall! You're terrible!" as I pulled into the driveway behind the big white house.
