Synopsis

Escape from Milltown is the coming of age story of James McIllwane. At the urging of his Irish-American family, Jimmy McIllwane aspired to be a professional baseball player. The poignant story of his growing up years in the Deep South in the late 1950s and 60s will leave the reader/listener with a lasting memory of that part of America and that sliver of time. Despite many God-given physical talents and a 'can't miss label' by baseball experts and his family, McIllwane did miss a professional baseball career, but he did not miss many travails of life. The spiritual founding of the maternal side o his family, especially his grandfather, left Jimmy McIllwane with a dry sense of humor, a gift for story-telling and penchant for family and friendship, which he carried with him into the sequel to Escape from Milltown, which is titled Call Me Deaconblue.
