A Diamond in Spring

Donald T. Phillips

0/5 ( ratings)

Donald T. Phillips compelling debut novel, A Diamond In Spring,
embodies the delicate balance between chasing childhood dreams and coping
with adversity. People, young and old, who strive daily to make their dreams
come true will be inspired and delighted by the story of Jeff Delling.
Jeff was born with an endless supply of gifts and promise. Charm. Wit.
Compassion And a keen baseball talent. We meet him as a young boy in the
midst of the influence of two generations of strong-willed, highly-principled
Dellings, his father and grandfather.
Rich traditions and family expectations lead the young boy on a journey
of high hopes and daring dreams. While Jeff grows into adolescence and
eventual manhood, his destiny seems assured as he experiences a steady and
successful rise from high school ball up to the major leagues. And all along
the way, magical and wonderful things seem to happen on the baseball diamond.
But an "indestructible" gemstone can be broken if hit in a vulnerable
spot. In a like manner, life begins to deal Jeff Delling a series of
shattering blows.
With superstar success looming on the horizon, Jeff is thrown back on his
heels through family tragedy and a career-threatening injury. All at once,
the world seems empty and pointless. But with the help of family, old
friends, and his inner spirit, he returns from the abyss accompanied by
renewed hopes, the will to compete, and a fresh outlook on life.
With eloquent prose, colorful baseball insight, and brilliantly imbued
symbolism, Donald T. Phillips offers this touching story, a hero's journey
that involves growing up, overcoming adversity, and achieving personal dreams.
