Headed for Home

Mary Helen Brown’s first novel is about family, baseball, and maybe a ghost. Set in Rowja, a small town in rural east Texas, narrator “Speedy” relates the events of one particular summer that starts with an angel falling, and ends with changing the lives of all who become entwined in the Summester project of Speedy’s sister and her college friends. Meet the colorful characters that populate the town and join them for a fish fry, an adventure down Taterhead Creek, an unexpected surprise in the mailbox, and in obtaining some overdue justice for a long-lost relative.
