OPIS:

From former football star and bestselling author John Ed Bradley comes a searing look at love life and football in the face of racial adversity. Heartbreaking says Laurie Halse Anderson author of Speak. Growing up in Louisiana in the late 1960s Tater Henry has experienced a lot of prejudice. His town is slow to desegregate and slower still to leave behind deep-seated prejudice. Despite the towns sensibilities Rodney Boulett and his twin sister Angie befriend Tater and as their friendship grows stronger Tater and Rodney become an unstoppable force on the football field. That is until Rodney sees Tater and Angie growing closer too and Rodneys world is turned upside down. Teammates best friends--Rodneys world is threatened by a hate he did not know was inside of him. As the town learns to accept notions like a black quarterback some changes may be too difficult to accept. 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 retired NFL player and bestselling author
