Richard Strawn’s new book, Societas Americana ($22.99, paperback, 9781545660645; $9.99, e-book, 9781545660652), tells the tale of the Traveling Coopers, a baseball team that inspired America from the Civil War to the Cold War.  While they play, they learn about belonging, about family and about making space for others.

 

The novel uses elements from the past to bring light to the present and inspire the future with timeless values and plenty of fun from America’s favorite pastime.

 

“Societas Americana tells the stories of a family who formed a team, who traveled across the United States, who found purpose in the fields of play,” said Strawn.

 

Richard Strawn grew up in Hawaii, where baseball was fair game all year round.  He is the author of Compassing Mars, Surgical Psalms and The Last Irish Priest.
