I Never Played Catch With My Father
Coming in January 2010. Softcover of Gene's controversial and widely-praised novel, first published in 1996, and still available in hardcover. The novel earned him an Oprah invitation, numerous national radio and TV appearances, and led to a two-year, coast to coast book tour. See: iFOGO.com and GeneCartwright.com.
Log Line:
A Texas-born, billionaire baby boomer’s life-long love of baseball shapes his adulthood. However, his enormous success fails to erase memories of a childhood missing a ‘heart and soul’ relationship with a father now near death. In an effort to finally close the “broken circle,” he catches “the last train home.”

During the night before, a transient family, apparently seeking shelter, trespassed onto the abandoned Devereaux farm, about four miles from ours. In the early morning hours, an oil lamp fire raced through the dilapidated structure burning it to its frame. Everyone inside perished in the raging inferno. More...
