Description
Ron Canfield is ‘dying’ to coach, but he is not about to take a bullet for it. When the wounded warrior becomes a high school basketball coach, the teacher’s union challenges his mental stability, and irate white parents demand that he play their kids ahead of more talented blacks. But, as a Marine veteran, Ron is trained to run toward the sound of gunfire. And, as a proud African American, he refuses to back down to the bigots. The stakes are high. The starters have a shot at basketball scholarships worth more than $200,000. People have been killed for less. Much less. They’ve been killed for a pair of high tops. With the season opener a week away, Ron learns he is in the crosshairs of a racist stalker.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
Larrañaga effectively portrays the ravages of PTSD with great sensitivity, artfully describing the indelible impression that violence and guilt can leave on one’s psyche. It’s an inspiring story overall, ideally suited to those readers who enjoy tales of triumph over adversity. The prose is unornamented and lucid, and the author has a talent for leavening the sometimes-heavy material with spots of well-delivered humor. - Kirkus Reviews
