Sy Todd has spent a lifetime being the kind of man everyone can count on: a successful small-town businessman, devoted husband and father, and Gilmore's legendary star pitcher. But two weeks before his County Baseball Hall of Fame induction, Sy begins to unravel in ways he can't explain-or stop.
A single strange incident becomes a public scandal, drawing gossip, media attention, and pressure that cracks open old wounds inside Sy's family. As his wife's stability wavers and his adult daughter scrambles to keep the household from collapsing, Sy tries to understand what's happening to his mind and body-and what, if anything, can be redeemed once a town has made up its story about you. In the background, Sy's beloved hobby-raising rolling pigeons bred to tumble mid-flight-becomes a haunting metaphor: some creatures pull out of the spiral in time. Others don't.
At once darkly funny and deeply human, Rolling Pigeons is a novel about aging, shame, love, and the terrifying moment when the self you've relied on starts to slip.
