Beautiful characters I fell in love with Beautiful words that danced me through the story. A commentary on sports in our society that makes me hope and pray that we are improving a little by little and the things we chalk up to being "just part of sports," "just locker room banter," or "just something boys do" less and less until it can just be the beautiful parts of the story; the love of each other, the love of the games, the Cinderella stories that inspire us, and the players who are better for having played and our lives enriched for having watched.
