PRESMISE QUOTE

The premise quote for this novel is by former MLB All Star Dave Winfield from an address to the teams of the NCAA Men’s College World Series, It is ued with permission,

“In your life, you are going to get knocked down. You can’t win every endeavor you attempt. Sooner or later, you will be crushed and humbled. Don’t be surprised by it. It happens to everyone in every pursuit, not just sports. The more important aspect of defeat and setback rests in what you do when you get back up. That’s where success comes from.”
