Extra Innings Trilogy

About the Book

With young adulthood comes inevitable change. From puberty to hometown struggles to the tragic blow of deadly racism, identical twins Jimmy and Billy McGee have experienced some pivotal points in their lives. Now, eighteen years old, these brothers ain’t seen nothing yet. It’s 1952 in the Deep South and bad news is about to annihilate the McGee family’s entire world. Jimmy is beginning college at “Ole Miss” while Billy is soon on his way into the depths of the Korean War. The brothers’ decisions to set their own courses apart from the other, for the first time in their lives, turned out to be the easy part. But their plans would set in motion a course of events even more trying than either could have anticipated. There’s an old adage that says: “you can never go home again” and this couldn’t have rung truer for the twins. Sadly, only one learned the lesson.
