       A Trophy Without a Face

          Paperback 5.5x8.5
         978-1-935271-38-3  $10.00

         In “A Trophy Without a Face,” author Paul Merritt gives a poignant
account of his older brother’s days as a young baseball talent. Told from his
perspective as a child, Merritt’s story conjures up various images of youth and
summer fun, all the while reflecting a deep love and respect for his brother.
         Tracing Curtis Merritt’s evolution from a boy to a young adult, the
book recounts his athletic trials and triumphs, such as a broken ankle, the
transition to playing “high school ball,” and the multiple awards he receives for
his stellar performance. But Merritt also brings the reader along as Curtis
experiences the more personal challenges of growing up, from becoming a
teenager, to meeting and breaking up with his high school sweetheart, to
losing his way in life after graduation.
         But besides being an accessible coming-of-age story, “A Trophy
Without a Face” is a touching testament to the hero-worship with which a
little boy—or even a grown man—views his older brother, with the title
referring to a gift the author gave his brother in honor of his baseball days,
years after they’d grown up.
