This is a story about the triumph of the human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, When John Harding's wife and son are killed in a car accident, he loses the will to go on. But encouraged by a friend to coach the local Little League team, Bob finds an unexpected source of inspiration in an uncoordinated, pint-sized 11-year-rid named Timothy Noble. This kid is a slow runner, a poor batter and a mediocre fielder, but he won't give up. His tenacity, and, even more importantly, his faith in himself, is a lesson to all those around him. A modern parable of love and courage, persistence and victory, The Twelfth Angel will touch and inspire listeners everywhere.

Read by: Margaret Klenck, Stephen Newman, Noah Segan, and Robert Sevra, and with thanks to the Little Leaguers of New York's Bank Street, I.S. 44 and Trinity Schools.
