The 2009 Lambda Literary Award-winning novel is finally available
in paperback This new second edition includes two brand new bonus
chapters, a foreword by former NFL punter Chris Kluwe, and an
afterword by outsports.com co-founder Jim Buzinski. Star
quarterback Bobby Framingham, one of the most talented high school
football players in California, knows he's different from his
teammates. They're like brothers, but they don't know one essential
thing: Bobby is gay. Can he still be one of the guys and be honest
about who he is? When he's outed against his will by a student
reporter, Bobby must find a way to earn back his teammates' trust
and accept that his path to success might be more public, and more
difficult, than he'd hoped. An affecting novel about identity that
also delivers great sportswriting. "A thought-provoking, funny, and
ultimately uplifting story of self-actualization that masterfully
defies stereotypes about both coming out and team sports." -School
Library Journal "A thoughtful, powerful novel." -Booklist "It's
tough enough completing your pass as the linebackers blitz, but
when your private life is also crashing in, the game is about
survival. A hard-hitting first novel about quarterbacking your
life." - Robert Lipsyte, author of Raiders Night "How I rooted for
Bobby, and all his imperfect, complicated, oh-so-human friends." -
Catherine Gilbert Murdock, author of Dairy Queen and The Off Season
