What are you currently working on?

Arthur D. Hittner An offbeat novel about Jake Singer, the only son of overachieving parents, who graduates from lefthanded Little League legend to pro baseball prospect at Stanford. When his budding pro career is shattered by a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he defaults to law school at Harvard. Years later in Cambridge, he meets Kate, lately arrived from Iowa, a perky twenty-year-old waitress with a secret. An unlikely romance blossoms into an unlikely marriage—one quickly sabotaged by a parade of blunders and embarrassing revelations. Haunted by her missteps and in the throes of leaving her beleaguered husband, Kate suffers a catastrophic rendezvous with a runaway Ford F450. While Jake finds solace in an improbable return to baseball, Kate transcends her sudden, tragic death, resolving to redeem herself posthumously, interceding in her widower’s life on the ballfield and in the bedroom in a well-intentioned but often hilarious campaign to atone for her transgressions
