Hit of Henry Synopsis - Book Update
Updated: Oct 8
Greg Luti shares the official synopsis for his novel *Hit of Henry* in this book update — an intimate literary fiction story about ambition, family, and the complicated cost of chasing success.
Synopsis - This is what is going to be on the back cover of the book.
A reporter hears of a man who accomplishes an incredible feat in a local baseball game, but the more the reporter tries to learn of the man, the less he seems to know of him.
In The Hit of Henry, you follow Tom, a small-town journalist, as he investigates a seemingly unusual moment at a weekend baseball game. According to those at the game, there was a stranger, whom neither team knew, who hit the ball so far that they are not even sure how far it went.
What began as another story, the protagonist soon faces opposition from others, deeming the endeavor of identifying the home run hitter as pointless.
Despite the uncertainty of the event at the game ever happening, Tom continues to search for this man, Henry, sensing that a man of that caliber should share his story. Tom’s journey has him go to a baseball field that is a dump, a nursing home full of cranky old people, a warehouse with a broken fence, to even an orphanage, to find out the question on everyone’s mind, “Who is Henry?”
If a man is to do such an incredible feat in a local game, surely this man must be able to be found, right?
Will Tom ever find this Henry man, who hit a home run longer than any ever seen, or was the entire thing made-up, a fabrication of a few weekend ball players?
