In Boomerang Baseball, Nicholas R.W. Henning explores in autobiographical style the trials and triumphs of Trent McKnight's life. It is an insightful and honest story of obsession, disappointment and determination. As he grows up, Trent's belief in himself is challenged by bullying, self-doubt and failure. But his life is also shared by family and friends who support him in darker moments. And always close to the centre of his life is baseball, the sport which wounds him but also provides him with the opportunities to succeed.
