Description
In New York City, newly single Caroline is stumbling her way through the recent implosion of her life. After a surprise breakup leaves her with no job, no apartment, and no backup plan, she''s unsure of what to do next. That is, until Caroline''s father Leo injures himself in a bad fall and asks her to move home to the Jersey Shore suburb she''d always been desperate to escape. But Leo doesn''t want his daughter to be his caretaker; he needs her to replace him as third baseman in his local men''s softball league. This isn''t just any season, Leo claims. This is the year they have a real shot at the World Series, the pride and joy of Glen Brook, New Jersey. Caroline agrees to move home, concerned that Leo is hiding a more serious health condition than he''s willing to admit. As the first female player in a league full of old-school men, she''s up against more than a few challenges. And when a night gone wrong lands her in the path of her hometown crush - and first love - Caroline struggles to reconcile the life she thought she''d have with the life she might actually want. Sharply observed and full of humour and heart, WELCOME HOME, CAROLINE KLINE is a touching tribute to the many unconventional paths that victory, and recovery, can take.
