Well, it does for Leo, over the course of the next twenty years. But amidst the heartache, grief, disappointment and humiliation, there is the occasional shining moment. His love for Claire, his childhood sweetheart. His friendship with Steven, her husband. His budding career as a sports journalist. And his on-again, off-again romance with his girlfriend, Amy. As Leo blunders his way through birth, death, love, temptation, failure and success, he finds out that the secret of life is the lesson he learned as a twelve-year-old second-baseman: When things go gad, dust yourself off and get back up to the plate.
A coming-of-age story that is at once tongue-in-cheek and unashamedly heartwarming, In Real Life will both tickle your fancy and touch your soul. Leo Brown is an Everyman for everyone, and his story will linger long after you've read it.
