Jumping Over the Moon
Did you ever set a goal so high that you needed to jump over the moon in order to reach it? That's the exciting theme of JUMPING OVER THE MOON. The novel is about life and love, and there also is some great baseball action with a team made up of Lakota Indians.

Before he dies, he wants to spend more time with his wife, and he must prepare his nephew to run the family business. But his most unusual life goal relates to his ongoing rivalry: Phin wants one last victory over his longtime friend, Mort. Set in Southern California in the late 1920s, the strong economy of the Roaring Twenties helps Phin and Mort live out their sporting fantasies with a type of one-upmanship that far exceeds normal standards of friendly competition. After a lifetime of sporting duels, battling for the last coveted slot in the Los Angeles Winter Ball League becomes their final challenge
