Made to Break Your Heart

"Reminiscent of another fine Pennsylvania novel, John Updike's The Centaur."-J. Michael Lennon, author of Norman Mailer: A Double Life

Made to Break Your Heart is a family saga, set in a gossipy suburb, that explores the complexities of raising a child, holding a marriage together, and maintaining your sanity in the cutthroat world of Little League baseball.

It's 2008, and Nick Marhoffer is a stressed-out dad who finds himself flirting with thoughts of infidelity. While his job is being threatened by a crumbling economy, he's fraught with anxiety over his only son's well-being. So when his son starts playing baseball, Nick becomes a rabid Little League dad who loses sight of what's good in his life. After developing a crush on a gorgeous team mom, he can't decide between her and his wife, then finds himself at risk of losing everything that's most important to him.

This is a smart, sexy, and funny novel about bad breaks, bad decisions, and the long road of life.
