THE BOOK MOTHERS GIVE FATHERS & SONS
I Never Played Catch With My Father is a life-changing story for mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons. The book led to an Oprah Show invitation for guest author Gene Cartwright. It reads like real life.
When fame and fortune are not enough.
A successful man's love of baseball provides him with memories of a childhood without a close heart-and-soul connection with his strict father but loving father. He learns that success and fame can purchase memories of things that never were.
Our Dedication Edition was published on June 17. On June 18, we lost Willie Mays, who was, by all measure, the greatest all-around baseball player to ever take the baseball field.
- I Never Played Catch With My Father is about more than playing catch. This father-son story is about life that passes all too quickly. It is also about mothers, sons, and daughters and the importance of connecting with your children. while there is time.
- Play With Your Kids. Playing Catch helps build relationships.
- Mothers and women, in general, are our more dedicated buyers.
- Women make sure the men in their lives read this book.
I Never Played Catch With My Father is a moving story of fathers and sons, forgiveness, and redemption.
A baseball book for Father's Day and every day proves there are no insignificant moments in a child's life.
For anyone with a beating heart.

- From Prolific, Pulitzer-nominated Author Gene Cartwright:
- Based on a true story, this novel is about more than baseball, fathers and sons
- It's about mothers and daughters, family, parenting
- It's about time that is gone too soon
James T. Phalen is a wealthy baby-boomer with a lifelong love of baseball and a passion for helping those less fortunate. When he realizes that all his wealth and fame cannot purchase a memory never created, he leaves his executive suite and catches the "last train home" to try and complete the circle with his ailing father.
Play with your children. The years pass in the blink of an eye.

From the Author
I have been deeply touched by the personal, emotional comments of those who have read my book. Regardless of race, socio-economic background or gender, they are compelled to recount their own childhood experiences.They speak about the joy, sadness and regrets of those times. Quite often, these are tearful recollections. When I speak to gatherings at signings, I hear men and women committ to renewing their determination to devote more meaningful time to their children and families. I am gratified that something I wrote, inspired by my own experiences, provokes such reactions.
