Golden Arm: A Revolutionary Product for Stronger Arms

In this captivating tale of baseball and brotherhood, Lazarus "Laz" Weathers, a boy who hails from the wrong side of town, discovers that he can pitch his way out of poverty, one strike at a time. Described as "a premier author of thought-provoking YA sports novels" by The Bulletin, Laz has always struggled with shyness and a stutter when he speaks. Living in a Seattle trailer park, he turns to baseball as a means of escaping the harsh realities of poverty and drugs that surround him.

When Laz is given the opportunity to pitch for the wealthy kids in a different part of town, he sees a chance to potentially be scouted by major league baseball teams. However, playing for the affluent team would mean leaving behind his family, especially his younger brother Antonio, who appears to be increasingly entangled in the dangerous world of the city's drug trade.

Now faced with a difficult decision, Laz must choose between pursuing his dream of becoming a star pitcher and being the supportive team player that his family desperately needs.
