Despite being a talented basketball player, fourteen-year-old Jeff Hoffman isn’t living the high school dream. Merciless bullying from fellow students has him feeling terrorized, isolated and depressed. With little emotional support from home, Jeff’s despair turns into self-loathing and he flirts with suicide.
Everything changes when the team’s star player, Latrelle Travis, takes Jeff under his wing. With Latrelle as a mentor, Jeff embarks on a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. Jeff becomes bold, captivating and confident, but his hope for the future gets snatched away when a racially motivated crime leads to a senseless tragedy.
In this gripping story of love, loss, grief and redemption, families and communities are torn apart. Faith, integrity, loyalty and friendship get tested to the breaking point. Through it all, Jeff must dig deep to find the strength to prevail and ultimately prove that in the face of adversity, we are all stronger together. $3.99 on Kindle.
