Eight-year-old Vada virtually grew up overnight and raised her three younger sisters while her father lost himself in his medical practice in the basement of their home.  Now  Vada is a grown woman  still making her home with her father and sisters. Her days are spent serving as an errand girl for Clevelands fledgling amateur orchestra; her evenings with Garrison Walker  her devoted  if passionless  beau.  Dizzying change occurs the day the Brooklyn Bridegrooms come to town to play the Cleveland Spiders and a line drive wallops the head of a spectator. The fan is whisked to the Allenhouse parlor  and questions swirl about the anonymous  unconscious man.  Suddenly  the subdued house is filled with visitors  from a flirtatious  would-be sports writer to the Bridegrooms handsome star hitter to the guilt-ridden ballplayer who should have caught the stray shot. The medical case brings Dr. Allenhouse a frustration and helplessness he hasnt felt since his wifes disappearance. Vadas sisters are giddy at the bevy of possible suitors. And Vadas life is awakened amid the super-charged atmosphere of romantic opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932720037941,"sku":"ByrdShop_1601421370","price":59.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781601421371.jpg?v=1794228895","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-bridegrooms-9781601421371","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
