The Girl Who Threw Butterflies (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
SOME SERIOUS JUNK n the garage Molly found the baseball gear stowed under the lawn sprinkler and garden hose in a big plastic trunk. She lifted the top—it was a little like a treasure chest—and there were baseballs, softballs, three bats, batting gloves, a rubber home plate and a set of bases, her glove, and her dad's. Now, for the first time, his glove seemed like something from the distant past, an earlier era, another life. It looked sad and lifeless. It was a big floppy piece of worn leather, a Wilson A2000 model, the best ever, he used to say, which had been, believe it or not, a wedding present from Molly's mother. Her dad told the story again and again. Molly never minded; she liked to hear it again and again. She liked thinking about her parents as young and romantic. They met in an English class at a college in Wisconsin; they fell in love and got married right after graduation. He gave her a fancy watch, and she, knowing that he was crazy about baseball, a hardcore fan since he was a little kid, gave him a glove.
