A Small-Town Southern Sports Novel of High School Football Traditions, Tyrannical Coaches, and Homecoming

Former All-American high school quarterback Neely Crenshaw returns to his hometown of Messina, Mississippi, after fifteen years. He joins former teammates sitting in the bleachers overlooking Rake Field as their legendary 84-year-old head football coach, Eddie Rake, lies dying.

As the former players recount their glory days and the brutal conditioning methods that led to a teammate's heatstroke death during the 1987 state championship season, Neely confronts his lingering resentment toward the coach who shaped and derailed his youth.

Why You’ll Love This Book

John Grisham explores small-town Southern obsession, athletic mentorship, and forgiveness under the Friday night lights. A great fit for readers of Buzz Bissinger, Willie Morris, and Pat Conroy.
