A Boy Named Love — Jack Mason

Tyler Love is the bastard son of college dropout Mollie Reeves, who did drugs and men, and ended up kept in a dingy shack. After age four, Tyler sold produce, did odd jobs, found a mentor, and determined to be educated. He got athletic and academic scholarships. He and a college girl find Mollie's family and everything changes. Tyler then pitches professional baseball, but he also faces murder, kidnapping and more.
