Chaos Theory suggests that the flapping of a butterfly's wings in China can produce a tornado on the other side of the world. If that is true, how could the effects of first love be any less devastating? Chaos Theory As Applied to Love, Baseball, and the Rest of the Universe examines life's most elemental forces: love, death, and, of course, baseball. Raised in a family of eccentric losers, George Seibenmann has only one ambition: to pitch for his high school baseball team. Ruth Hannon, on the other hand, is a young woman possessed of never-ending hope, grounded faith, and a deadly fastball. When she breaks the gender barrier and becomes the team's starting pitcher, George senses a change in the wind - not only for the team but for himself as well. Ruth's older brother coaches the team from a wheelchair. Though paralyzed from the waist down, he has the determination and skill to lead the team all the way to State. The team's remarkable string of victories causes a sensation in this most hopeless of small towns - until a sudden and incomprehensible tragedy strikes. But, as defeat looms, George experiences a revelation of amazing grace - one impossibly suspended moment in time that will change the course of everyone's life.
