That is, until Rodney sees Tater and Angie growing closer, too, and Rodney's world is turned upside down.

As the town learns to accept notions like a black quarterback, some changes may be too difficult to accept.

Recenzii

The book "is so many other things that football might come third or fourth on the list. It is unflinching American history, it is cultural anthropology and it is a riveting morality play. Probably most of all it is a love story of the finest kind because it hurts all over and it mercilessly pits one kind of love against another in a genuine blood sport.

"John Ed Bradley has gathered a fine and believable cast of characters to tell a tough story, but above all Rodney Boulet stands as one of the most authentically, uncomfortably honest adolescent males I have read in quite some time."--Chris Lynch, author of the National Book Award Finalist Inexcusable
"John Ed Bradley skillfully shines a beam of humanity through the prism of the game, revealing to us the full spectrum of its colors, from love to hate, bigotry to tolerance, and devotion to betrayal. Anyone who ever played high school football or loved someone who has should read this book."--Tim Green, author of Unstoppable
