Baseball is life.So is fly fishing.But what if neither is quite as fulfilling as you expected them to be?A talented pitcher and cocksure small-town kid with big dreams, Nick Grimes is certain his blazing fastball will send him straight to the Major Leagues. And he’s not the only one with big dreams. Jess, a young waitress who captures his heart, dreams of becoming a famous novelist. The future is bright, they can both feel it - and barely out of high school, Grimes signs a professional contract to pitch for the Detroit Tigers.But what if it turns out that the minor leagues are a lot tougher than he expected?And what if his other big love, fly fishing, is not quite it, either?Can he even find what it is?Can Jess with her ambitions help him find his true self?Should he take second chances as both his father and a pitching coach who see something special in him urge him to do?Should he follow the advice of Sir Jon, a former academic turned recluse and a fly fisherman?So many questions ... and as Grimes discovers, his remarkable journey is nowhere near its destination.With echoes of A River Runs Through It and The Rookie, Baseball Dreams, Fishing Magic will take you on a journey of a young man chasing the American dream on baseball fields and trout streams and in bar rooms, but most of all, within his own soul.
