Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn’t correct them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andy’s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the “yips”: he can’t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can’t figure out why. As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Dean’s future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When he moves into an apartment at the back of Evvie’s house, the two make a deal: Dean won’t ask about Evvie’s late husband, and Evvie won’t ask about Dean’s baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken—and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. To move forward, Evvie and Dean will have to reckon with their pasts—the friendships they’ve damaged, the secrets they’ve kept—but in life, as in baseball, there’s always a chance—up until the last out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A joyful, hilarious, and hope-filled debut, \u003ci\u003eEvvie Drake Starts Over \u003c\/i\u003ewill have you cheering for the two most unlikely comebacks of the year—and will leave you wanting more from Linda Holmes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eEvvie Drake Starts Over\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A quirky, sweet, and splendid story of a woman coming into her own.”\u003cb\u003e—Taylor Jenkins Reid, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eDaisy Jones \u0026amp; The Six\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Effortlessly enjoyable . . .
