Outstanding personal novel Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020 I completed this novel in one reading. Why? Not because it was short, but because it grabbed me the moment I started reading, bringing back memories of all those other novels of this genre: Rudy, Gridiron Gang, Dangerous Minds, Stand and Deliver as well as Freedom Writers and Hitting Rock Bottom. The author is truly inspirational about how he has accepted fate for his football accident and yet continues to give all that he has in helping others overcome their situations. If I was still teaching at my former military academy consisting of at-risk youth, this novel would be required reading. For any educators out there that have students who always complain about how life is not fair, have them read this novel.
