Synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Woody and his friends encounter dead ends in Mendocino, a town on the Northern California coast. So does basketball coach Ray Ellis, an ex-All American with a dark past. Everything changes when sophisticated city kid Chase McMillan shows up, inspiring in them all the confidence and self-respect they need to face the future. But as Chase introduces a new competitive spirit both on and off the court, those dead ends close in on his new friends, and Ray's dark past catches up with him, Woody tragically discovers at what cost success can come.
Originally published in 2017 by Touchpoint Press, this engaging coming-of-age story is now revised and reprinted by Atopon Books.
