Dick Sheffield – Lasso The Moon

“Lasso The Moon was not what I expected and illustrates why a reader cannot always judge a book by its cover. It is an extraordinary book about love – love of a game, love between people, love of nature and experience. Patience is not only critical to golf, but life and love as well. Lasso The Moon reveals that correlation perfectly, taking us to a place where the element of human love just happens to include the love of a great game.”

"Dick Sheffield’s debut novel tells the thoughtful story of a hero who arrives late to the set of his own bildungsroman. At forty-four William Bradford gives up his comfortable law career to move back home to Star, Texas, with little prompting other than a few wistful memories about golf. But with an openness to second chances that can only be found in someone who’s missed all his firsts, Sheffield’s wide-eyed protagonist comes of age a subtle and complete character, who, with the help of an unlikely mentor, learns the transformative power of conviction."
