Description
Who IS that Guy? Year in and year out the football powerhouse Hert City Trojans import a ringer to fuel their championship charge, but their luck is about to change. In the small backwater town of Tsalagee, first-year coach Donny Doyle knows the only way he can fulfill his promise to unseat the Hert City juggernaut, is to beat them at their own Game. But in his own recruit, the mammoth and powerful, yet troubled and ominous Leotis McKinley, Doyle finds more than he bargained for. Set in Oklahoma, author Phil Trumans character-rich novel Game spins an energetic tale around the intensity and weightiness of small-town high school football. And yet, amid the fast-paced drive of the story, lies an account of the human spirit struggling through adversity and finding victory. Readers of any age or gender, once the final word is read, will feel the triumph, honor, and glory that comes fromGame.
