Coaching Dad

One minute, Charles, a 50-year old divorced San Diegan, is on the couch talking to the $250/hour shrink his ex-wife s current paramour referred him to, wondering if he s on the verge of insanity or simply insane for taking the referral. The next, he s spiritedly strolling down a South Shore Long Island main street, in June 1948, admiring ill-fated Hudsons and steel fortress Ford Deluxe Coupes, while contemplating how he s going to scrape together enough money for an egg salad sandwich over at Joe s Cafe, and where he s going to find a room to rent tonight.
Good thing Charles has a mind for historic baseball stats and modern basketball strategies. He'll need both to survive. He meets his dad as a teenager and the grandfather who died before he was born, finds the love of his life, and becomes a high school basketball coach at his alma mater -- long before his birth. Along the way he finds out who he is, who his father was, how to live without cell phones and cable TV, why love across the decades is both satisfying and terrifying, and if he can make it as a basketball coach in the 1940s.
