Football is the heartbeat of Brownwood, Texas. But the war has changed everything. Most of the Brownwood men over 18 and under 45 are off fighting. Could this mean a season without football?

When the boys rally around her, she leads the team - and the town - to a Friday night and a subsequent season they will never forget. Based on a true story, this is a powerful and vibrant novel of perseverance and personal courage. Print run 25,000
