What Readers Say
From a Little League umpire: “I want to highly recommend Rodney's book, "Broken Laces" and encourage you to order now. You will not be disappointed. Rodney is a former coach and board member and is still an umpire with First Colony LL, so that's reason enough to support a fellow blue. But, I think you will love the book as I did. Great story, great read. Don't miss it. Rodney is not only a good friend and fellow umpire, but he wrote a great book.
From a Little League mom: “Broken Laces really hit home with me, especially the last few chapters, where the things we try to teach our youth sports players to value really shine through. Anyway, yes, I cried reading the last few chapters. Thanks for sharing your story and best of luck with the book.”
From a reader: "I wanted to tell you what an impact your book had on me. My mother died unexpectedly, of an aneurysm, when I was 11 years old so I had a lot of different feelings while reading your book. I felt like you pulled me in and I was very much into your characters. I related to Kellen so much and looking back maybe that is why I acted the way I did in school. I also understand more what my Dad went through. Thanks and can't wait to read your next one, keep ‘em coming!"
From a reader: “I have been dragging all day long and it is your fault. I got your book yesterday evening and couldn't put it down. Didn't finish till 2:30am, so thanks a lot! Excellent read by the way!”

Jack "The Cannon" Kennedy thinks he's living the American Dream. A fancy house in the Houston suburbs. A promising career. And a loving wife who tolerates his long hours and selfish ways.
In one horrific instant, he loses his wife. Then his job. Then his hope. And that just leaves Kellen, the young son Jack hardly knows or understands.
Jack realizes he must reconnect with Kellen or they’ll never get past their shared grief. But Jack’s biggest obstacle is staring back from the mirror.
Desperate to reach Kellen, he turns to baseball, the game he once loved. With Jack, a win-at-all-costs former star pitcher, coaching his son’s Little League team, what could possibly go wrong?
