Publisher Description

Athens City, Alabama, is a town that lost its heart the day the high school football team lost the state championship and suffered a tragedy. Since that night, the town that once enjoyed superstar status has fallen on hard times. Now, years later, the former coach returns to head up one final season aided by a local who tells the story with a fresh voice. Together, they fight Goliath and learn that love and reconciliation are more important than winning ever could be.

"This is a wonderful story about courage and never giving up. Loved it! Some of the "football talk" was over my head (yeah, I know, but I'm not a fan) but that didn't interfere with the story at all. Highly recommended for an inspirational, feel good, Hallmark moment type of story. "

    " I do like the way Jenkins tells a story. I'm not even much of a football fan, but he made me take interest in the characters, and even enjoy the football games in the story! "

    " Kind of choppy, but a good read. I was told it would be better to actually watch the movie before reading the book. Too late, I read the book first, now to the movie! "

    " In the tradition of Christian fiction, this book is as light and predictable as an episode of Little House on the Prairie and literarily (is that a word?) nutrient-free as an episode of Frasier. It's also quite likable. "

    " I read this book in maybe two days at the most. The story was compelling and easy to follow. I recommended it to a friend who finished to right away and then told her mother about it. A good read. "
