.Evvie Drake Starts Over (2019) by Linda HolmesIn a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth ���Evvie��� Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husband���s death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn���t correct them.Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher, and Andy���s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the ���yips���: he can���t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can���t figure out why. As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Dean���s future.When he moves into an apartment at the back of Evvie���s house, the two make a deal: Dean won���t ask about Evvie���s late husband, and Evvie won���t ask about Dean���s baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken���and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. To move forward, Evvie and Dean will have to reckon with their pasts���the friendships they���ve damaged, the secrets they���ve kept���but in life, as in baseball, there���s always a chance���up until the last out.Contact: Aisha Banks : (203) 933-9381 : abanks@westhavenlibrary.org [Adult]
