Book Synopsis
Jason Wyatt vowed that he
would fulfill his deceased brother's collegiate-football dreams. Despite
a growing number of injuries, he is willing to risk anything, even his
health, to uphold that promise. With recruiting underway and a football
future imminent, he meets Riley, a green-eyed beauty, with a haunting
and unforgettable past and an overprotective father. Jason tries to
balance young love with football, and as he nears high school
graduation, he is confronted with a new set of life-altering obstacles
to both.

An Excerpt
“I didn’t say that.” Mr. Wyatt possessed a rare and
undervalued ability to maintain his composure even in the most
stressful situations; a patience, whether or not the reasoning held
validity, that he attributed to years of fishing. “All I’m saying,” he
continued, “is that he will be miserable if he doesn’t play this year.
It’s not just a sport for him. It’s how he connects with Allen, and you
know that. Look at him out there,” he motioned to the back window. “It’s
who he is.”
Mrs. Wyatt sat in silence on their bed. A photograph of an eleven-year-old Allen rested on the dresser by the bathroom. She had taken it before his first football practice in sixth grade—his helmet draped over his eyebrows, the shoulder pads extended too far past his shoulders, and his little body hid beneath the enormity of the leg pads. The first two years after Allen had passed, Mrs. Wyatt cried every time she saw the picture, but she refused to hide it. She calmed much quicker than her husband had anticipated. “I just don’t want him to get hurt. Permanently hurt,” she said.

Welcome Nicholas! It's wonderful having you with us and we're looking forward to the tour!
Thanks, Black Lion, for setting everything up. As an engineering student I have classes scattered throughout the day, but I'll be keeping up with the tour in between.
I'm looking forward to it!
