In a state built on tight-knit communities, two superb high-school athletes have a chance to do something so special that it could bring their small towns together in appreciation. But first, both Jay and Dan will have to stare down their demons, come to grips with the limits of other people to understand what they do, and weather the vicissitudes of the sporting life. Along the way, anything short of perfection just might not be enough.

Read Four Days to Glory, the book that the New York Times called “extraordinary” and that Entertainment Weekly described as “part Chariots of Fire, part Hoosiers.” Available from HarperCollins, at booksellers everywhere.
