James McConnell’s one wish is that his nine-year-old son will
finally be healthy enough to play a game of catch. Then he and his
wife, Emily, receive news they’ve dreaded: Aaron’s cancer has
relapsed.
As the family steels themselves for a draining treatment regimen in
yet another hospital, Aaron receives the gift of a lifetime—a
personal visit from one of his favorite professional baseball
players—and the chance to make a bold request, his wish: to
see his dad play in one major league game.
A former college standout, James fears he doesn’t have the talent
it takes, even for one game, and that he’ll miss what could be
Aaron’s precious last weeks. Yet how can he refuse his dying son’s
wish?
Poignant and triumphant, Wish is the story of a father’s
love, a family’s perseverance, and the miracles that can happen
when you believe in the impossible.
