One-Handed Catch by Mary Jane Auch tells the story of a young boy named Norm who is passionate about baseball. His life takes a dramatic turn when he loses his hand in a gruesome accident while working at a meatpacking plant. Faced with the challenge of adapting to life and sports without his dominant hand, Norm grapples with feelings of loss and frustration. With the support of his family and friends, he learns to overcome obstacles, discovers new strengths, and ultimately finds a way to pursue his love for baseball, redefining what it means to be a champion.
