The Goalkeeper (Paperback)

Paperback. On the concrete yard at recess, he was the goalkeeper, the one who could read a kick before it was struck.Then, in third grade, another child entered his world. What began as a game became something a child should never know. He carried it alone for forty-six years, while the adults around him, the teachers, the system, the empty yard, saw and did not see.The Goalkeeper is the testimony at the heart of Asaf Anonimi's memoir: a childhood, the abuse, and the decades it shaped. It asks a question that does not let go: how did every adult see the trampled child, and not one of them ask what had happened?Book One of Asking for My Right. This item is printed on demand.
