Home Run: Freedom is Possible by Travis Thrasher
Fiction

Set in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, Home Run definitely has a Middle America feel to it. Doing right by God and family is of the utmost importance to everyone, except Cory Brand. As a baseball all-star, Cory knows what it takes to win in the big leagues. However off the field, with memories of his past haunting him, his life is spiraling out of control. Faith comes into play when the down-and-out baseball star attends Celebrate Recovery meetings at the local church. There he's exposed to the personal stories of community members who are all in varying stages of recovery from all different types of hurts, habits and hang-ups. Home Run is unapologetic about bringing up these issues and its message is as plain as day – faith in Jesus Christ matched with a daily commitment to sobering up is the best way to find healing and beat addictions. Based on thousands of true stories, HOME RUN is a powerful reminder that with God, it's never too late...freedom IS possible.
