Novelization of THE HOME GAME MOVIE is underway !


HITTING HOME, the novel, is a more expansive version of THE HOME GAME movie. In a novelization we are able to explore the backstory of the characters more thoroughly. It is a heart-felt story of how nine foster boys and a little girl named Grace, find a forever family.

 

We wrote THE HOME GAME script because of our personal experience of adopting through foster care. We were tired of how foster kids are depicted in the media and wanted to do a project which shows foster kids the way they really are. HITTING HOME is a narrative, but the characters are raw, real and adapted from actual children we have met thorough our adoption community.



JAKE MCALLISTER is a pro baseball player living the life that other men only dream of; beautiful wife, expensive cars, amazing house and endorsements for unending financial bliss.  But, he's on probation more than he is on the field and because of his reckless actions, he loses his pro ball contract, his endorsements, and is about to lose his marriage.  He is assigned community service, 200 hours coaching a rag tag group of foster boys.  Through his work with the boys, he begins to deal with his own shattered past and learns what it really means to be "in the game".

“The Home Game is a compelling story of a personal and sometimes very raw journey that highlights the struggles that youth in foster care waiting to be adopted face each day.  The childhood we all carry that shapes our hopes and fears as adults is beautifully depicted in Jake as he works to not only manage a fading career in baseball, but also repair his personal relationships.  In the center are some very special children who force Jake to uncover what is truly meaningful.”

- Rita Soronen,

Executive Director of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption


"It is refreshing to see a story illustrating how the older chlidren in our foster care system, waiting for adoption and a home to call their own, are just as vulnerable and lovable as younger children and babies.  In THE HOME GAME, we travel with Jake as he struggles with his own personal childhood fears, while learning some very adult life lessons from a seemingly unlikely group of boys."

"Wow! I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. Obviously, I just finished reading your script and I think it's superb! What a good, wholesome family film. It makes you think of all those kids in our foster programs, in need of a family. My prayers are full tonight. I think you've got a real winner here.   Please let me know if you need anything from me."

"Not only did The Home Game capture my interest with its catchy dialogue, unique setting, and original characters, it captured my heart with its powerful story of heartbreak and redemption. I can't wait to see what it looks like post-production. Anyone who has ever felt compassion for orphans and children in foster care should want to run and see this picture."
