Summer, 1964, and for thirteen-year-old Bobby Slater, one of those rich summer kids up on Baker Lake, it's idyllic - swimming, fishing, baseball, hiking the mountains around the lake, camping on the islands, but what Bobby wants is a girlfriend. Be careful what you wish for, Bobby. Bobby gets his girl, a local Indian cutie, and it should be blissful - one soda, two straws, foreheads touching, eyes lost in love, but his girl is fickle. Sometimes she's sweet and funny, sometimes not, and it's because Bobby's rival for her affections, the ghost of an Indian boy dead more than a century, intends for the girl to accompany him on his journey to his Happy Hunting Grounds. Bobby hooks up with a gang of locals intent on saving the girl - a grumpy Indian war-chief, a gypsy fortune-teller, and from the other side, the Indian girl's mom, dead ten years, a victim of the curse. Bobby's big sister and his loyal sidekick, Cousin Joe, insist it's all a scam, the locals, possibly even including Bobby's girl, are trolling for Bobby's dad's money, but if Bobby doesn't trust the locals and doesn't stick with them, it might be curtains for his girl. And even if he ignores the warnings and brings along his sister and cousin, can he break down the barrier that divides the summer people from the townies? Can he bring them all together to save his girl?
His mother's last word was his name. His father's was "Wonderful." Together they inspired the title for this true story of love and redemption. Bob Morris was always the entertainer in his family, but not always a perfect son. When he finds his parents approaching the end of their lives, he begins to see his relationship to them in a whole new light and it changes his way of thinking. How does an adult child with flaws and limitations figure out how to do his best for his ailing parents while still carrying on and enjoying his own life? And when their final days on earth come, how can he give them the best possible end? In the tradition of bestselling memoirs by Christopher Buckley, Joan Didion, and with a dash of David Sedaris, Bobby Wonderful recounts two poignant deaths and one family's struggle to find the silver lining in them. As accessible as he is insightful, Bob Morris infuses each moment of his profound emotional journey with dark comedy, spiritual inquiry and brutally honest self-examination. This is a little book. But it captures a big and universal experience.

Roberto "Bobby" Maduro (1916-1986) was a visionary baseball team owner and executive. His dedication to promoting the game internationally from the 1950s through the 1970s remains unrivaled. He headed Havana-based clubs in the Cuban Winter League and teams in the U.S. minor leagues, which helped brand Caribbean baseball in the eyes of North American fans. He co-built the first million-dollar ballpark in Latin America. His Havana stadium was confiscated by Castro's revolution, along with all his accumulated wealth. Maduro began a new life in exile in the U.S., first as a minor league owner, then as a front office executive. He founded the short-lived Inter-American League in 1979, composed of five Caribbean-basin teams and one U.S. entry from his adopted hometown of Miami. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn said of his many achievements, "No one was more dedicated, more knowledgeable or more concerned about the game than Bobby Maduro."
