3 1/2 stars - An especially good read for anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one

Hard Hit can be read in one day – the compelling story that’s told in verse flows easily on paper – but is hard-hitting emotionally.  Mark Warren is a sophomore in high school.  His life is all perfect:  new beautiful girlfriend, star of the baseball team, and a great family.  Everything crumbles around him, though, when he learns his dad has cancer.  Suddenly Mark finds himself dealing with fear, hatred, anger and grief.  Can his faith and God, the love of his family, and his faithful girlfriend pull him through?

  2. This book was a good book. Its kinda sad sad that Mark's dad has cancer and he could die any minute now. Mark plays baseball and he enjoys it. He is the star of his high school baseball team. He has a beautiful girlfriend too. His life was all good until his dad got cancer and Mark started to worry. After i read this book I asked myself, "If my dad had cancer, what would my reaction be? What would I do? Would i give up life?" And my answer was to put my trust and faith in God to pull my daddy through this or just take him on home if its his time to go.
