Synopsis
Covering Home weaves the secret lessons of being a good father through anecdotes and allegories of baseball, drawing on the game's history and tradition to delight and guide fathers and would-be fathers on the path to effective fatherhood. Covering Home speaks to fathers in their own language to spread an important message: give yourself to your children the way players give themselves to the game they love, looking at every part of yourself to see how you could be a better father.

Review
"I have so many memories throughout my life that have been provided through baseball, but the strongest ones are those provided by my father. Almost all of the life lessons that my brothers, sister and I learned from dad were related to us through baseball. Jack Petrash seems to have captured that deep connection between fathers, their children, and baseball in Covering Home." - Cal Ripken, Jr
"Petrash poignantly brings the field of dreams down to earth for fathers. He loads the bases of parenting with relevant truisms and then brings them home with practical lessons." - Washington Post
..".will immediately become the kind of book passed on from friend to friend, from father to father, and from father to son or daughter...There are many more detailed books on fatherhood that are essential for a dad's library, but none so precious as this small wonder." - Publisher's Weekly
About the Author
