Isaiah was on a downward spiral following the death of his sister and grandfather, but football provided a way for him to channel his pain. With many college coaches knocking on his door, he suffers another concussion, one he was unable to hide. As he processes the possibility of his life without football, he also confronts his grief regarding the losses his family suffered and the subsequent fallout.

This was an interesting journey. I sort of wish I had read instead of listened to the book, because there were a few times I got lost in the back and forth. Isaiah was an interesting and rather deep character. There were a few times I really felt his pain, and cried for him. This young man had some big choices to make, and he really didn't have much of a support system to help him. I really appreciated his struggle, and was proud of how far he came over the course of this book.
