"A tale about integrity, second chances, and the cost of doing the right thing. . . . John Pine is the stuff legends are made of."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

In 1941, six months before Pearl Harbor, a small-town pro from Iowa named John Pine teed off in the United States Open. His wife had just left him, his car tires had been slashed, and he had exactly one penny in his bank account. And of the few who bothered to watch his opening drive, no one other than his sickly caddie and his eleven-year-old foster daughter knew or cared anything about him. But in what would be the last tournament he would ever play, John Pine would take a place-a now forgotten, but extraordinary place-in golf history.

"The rare sports novel with enough wit, style, and moral intelligence to travel well beyond the fairway."-Manhattan Book Review

"Heartwarming . . . The writing is sharp across the board . . . A beautiful paean to the sport wrapped up in a truly entertaining narrative."-Independent Book Review
