Whatever Happened to the National Acrobats? - Joseph Cook - Bog

Three young men find each other on a baseball field. Each has suffered rejection in their own way: Tom, a product of a broken home; Mike, an orphan with living parents, and Llewellyn, often rejected by his peers. Each boy finds in the others a common bond--something neither had ever experienced before. Though this bond was unspoken, it also seemed unbreakable. And in this, they were half-right. Their bond could never have been broken by intruders, but it was still vulnerable from within. In this way, they are faced with having to put the pieces back together, only to fear that they will remain broken forever.
