Evvie Drake Starts Over (Thorndike Press Large Print Women's Fiction) by Holmes, Linda. library edition. ISBN: 9781432865702.

In a small town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth "Evvie" Drake rarely leaves her house. Everyone in town, including her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and she doesnt correct them. In New York, Dean Tenney, former major-league pitcher and Andys childhood friend, is struggling with a case of the "yips": he cant throw straight anymore, and he cant figure out why. An invitation from Andy to stay in Maine for a few months seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button. When Dean moves into an apartment at the back of Evvies house, the two make a deal: Dean wont ask about Evvies late husband, and Evvie wont ask about Deans baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken—and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. But before they can find out what might lie ahead, theyll have to wrestle a few demons: the bonds theyve broken, the plans theyve changed, and the secrets theyve kept. Theyll need a lot of help, but in life, as in baseball, theres always a chance—right up until the last out.
