Isaiah Johnson’s baseball team has made it to the championships, and he’s up to bat! Most of the Johnson family is in the stands cheering him on . . . but someone is missing: Isaiah’s dad.
When Dad finally shows up, he apologizes for his absence and asks for Isaiah’s forgiveness. But Isaiah is still hurt and isn’t sure if he can forgive.
