"Bobby Thompson accepts a position as head football coach at the high school in Comanche Springs, Texas. His wife, Paula, is dissatisfied with the decision but agrees to the move, knowing it will be for a few years at most. As Bobby guides the Comanche Springs team toward its first district championship in years, he confronts small-town politics, the influence of old money, athletic corruption, and overt racism. His personal life seems to be falling apart when Paula leaves him after his own insecurities cause him to accuse her of adultery. When he himself is accused of professional misconduct--by a school board member who has a win-at-any-cost mentality--Bobby fights back with truths that destroy his career in Comanche Springs but help him retain his self-respect and regain his wife. An excellent read." (BOOKLIST)
