Faith, football, and conflicting hopes

Chris Dunkin’s ambitions in football are complicated by drug addiction, while his connection with Courtney Angeletti brings two different struggles into the same relationship. Courtney is known as the mayor’s Christian daughter, but she is also drawn to rebellion and to Chris’s standing in a popular high-school clique. Each sees the other as a possible influence: Chris hopes Courtney will help him change, while Courtney is attracted to the risk his reputation represents. The novel brings together young-adult concerns about faith, identity, romantic attraction, and destructive choices, with football ambition as part of Chris’s future at stake.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Christian themes and relationships

Book overview

A 2023 Readers' Choice Book Awards Finalist for Best Teen Book!

Growing up in the shadow of two NFL-destined cousins, Chris Dunkin has high hopes for his own future in football. However, a drug addiction threatens to destroy everything he has worked hard to attain. When Chris meets Courtney Angeletti--the mayor's straightedge Christian daughter--he believes she could be the source of inspiration he needs to overcome his destructive lifestyle.

Courtney, however, has other ideas. The desire to rebel has been tugging on Courtney's heartstrings for some time, and Chris's "bad-boy" reputation draws her to him like a moth to a flame. After all, he is a central part of the most popular clique in her high school. Will Chris pull Courtney away from her faith or will Courtney inspire him to overcome his rebellious lifestyle?
