Bookroo's summary
Sandy Comstock is trying to move on from a past mistake, but Perry Warden, the boy who led him astray, stands in his way. As rumors spread among his new baseball teammates, Sandy faces a critical choice: confront the truth or let the whispers define him. With his future on the line, Sandy must decide if he can trust himself to reveal his past or if running is the only option. Will he find redemption, or will the shadows of his past continue to haunt him?
From the publisher
Sandy Comstock once made a mistake - a bad one - but he’s paid the price, and now he just wants to get on with his life. Only one person stands in his way: Perry Warden, the boy who tempted Sandy to break the law in the first place. Convinced that Perry is spreading rumors about him to his new baseball teammates, Sandy faces a tough decision: Should he run from the rumors or come out with the truth about his past?
