The Clarke County Democrats

About the Book

It is 1921—a year after the Clarke County Democrats stole a bus that would change everything for the semi-professional baseball team of Thomasville, Alabama. With their owner and manager, Win Harrigan, behind the wheel, the Democrats head out on the road where they hope to achieve financial success. As the team of unlikely players follows a schedule of eight away games, it soon becomes evident that it is going to take more than just brains and ingenuity to create a winning record for the folks back in Thomasville that include young newlyweds, Leonard and Frances Cassity. When tragedy strikes the Cassitys, Leonard is eventually recruited to play for the Democrats as he attempts to create a better life for his new bride. But when his desire to please Frances leads him to carry out an unthinkable act, Leonard is about to discover that there are consequences for every choice in life. The Clarke County Democrats shares the compelling tale of a young recruit’s journey through tragedies and challenges during 1920s America after he decides to play for an Alabama baseball team.
