- Summary:
- Bobby "Loose" Bonaduce, a hockey player who left his young family years ago for a professional career, now feels compelled to reach out to the son he abandoned. But Bobby is also--unbeknownst to his family--struggling with an insidious disease that promises to rob him of the one thing that never let him down: his body. Rich with poignancy and humor in equal measure, this is a knowing novel of fatherhood, longing, and the triumph of spirit over flesh.
