The Doubleman

The Doubleman

The Story of Edwin McLean

In the quiet town of Jacksonport, Edwin McLean was more than just a man-he was a legend. Known on the field as "The Doubleman" for his unforgettable plays and larger-than-life presence in the local softball league, Edwin was a beloved hero, a father, a brother, and a son. But when the loss of his father-affectionately known as "Pa"-becomes too heavy to bear, Edwin makes a heartbreaking decision that sends shockwaves through everyone who loved him.

Told through emotional flashbacks, raw present-day moments, and powerful reflections, The Doubleman is a story about family, grief, healing, and redemption. It explores the ripple effects of Edwin's life and death on his younger brother, his estranged ex-wife, his children, and the grandchildren he never got to meet.

A moving blend of memory and legacy, this book is a reminder that even heroes carry burdens-and that sometimes, the most meaningful journeys begin after the final inning.
