The batter connected as well as the ball came rocketing back to the mound, shattering not merely Frank’s pitching elbow—but also his dream of getting “rich and popular” through Main League Baseball.™ As he walked to the training room, Frank found himself asking a God he didn’t believe in, “As to why is this happening to me? about Shattered: Struck Down, HOWEVER, NOT Destroyed ” There was no reply—at least not then. It was this injury that delivered Frank, a lifelong atheist, on a journey that could change not merely his brain but also his whole life—as a hubby, dad, friend, and troubled son.
