“PARENTS BEHAVING BADLY isn't just a sharp satire about Little League madness; it's also a shrewd and sympathetic portrait of a mid-life marriage. Scott Gummer writes with equal insight about wayward spouses and conniving coaches.”
Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children and The Abstinence Teacher

 “Scott Gummer does a great job of reminding us why kids play sports, why parents coach and, with tongue in cheek, what happens when parents forget that sports are supposed to be fun. With a great deal of humor, Gummer never loses sight of the life lessons baseball teaches kids and parents alike. PARENTS BEHAVING BADLY is a thoroughly entertaining story that should be a must read.”
Cal Ripken, Jr., Hall of Fame baseball player

"PARENTS BEHAVING BADLY is the perfect melding of the modern American bloodsports of Little League and wedlock: harrowing and warm-hearted.”
Larry Doyle, author of I Love You, Beth Cooper and Go, Mutants!
