Death of a Childhood

"Death of a Childhood is the memoir of one year in the life of a pre-teen: A time when oncoming puberty, family illness, a frightening new battle with anxiety disorders, an impending school switch, and a changing relationship with his closest confidant—his mom—threaten to change him from a happy, free-spirited kid into a fraught early adolescent."

"But as his world is rocked, he finds solace in an ongoing miracle: A rebuilding Major League Baseball (MLB) club that is shockingly in contention for a coveted division title."
