Sonny Johnson is fired for the first time in his coaching career, mid-way through his first losing season ever. He finds himself alone and decides to travel to the small town in Ohio where his ex-wife and their three children live. After years of just being a checkbook father, Sonny tries to integrate himself back into their lives. The surprises he encounters force Sonny to take a good look at himself and the family he left behind, in many ways, years ago.

Editorial Reviews

"Greg Cielec is Cleveland's Mark Twain."

Michael Heaton

"Another wonderful story from a master story teller."

Pete Gaughan

"Home and Away Games is about a major league football coach who gets fired from his position and then tries to reconnect with his divorced wife and three children. The kids are now teenagers and Coach finds himself in for a few surprises. A great secondary theme runs through the story with coach's insights and feelings bout the world of coaching: the endless round of recruiting, training, game film, practices...football, as in My Cleveland Story, ia a major player in the story.
