WINNER OF THE NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER OF THE CORETTA SCOTT KING
AUTHOR AWARD National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson's
stirring novel-in-verse explores how a family moves forward when
their glory days have passed, and the cost of professional sports
on Black bodies. Now in paperback. For as long as ZJ can remember,
his dad has been everyone's hero. As a charming, talented pro
football star, he's as beloved to the neighborhood kids he plays
with as he is to his millions of adoring sports fans. But lately
life at ZJ's house is anything but charming. His dad is having
trouble remembering things and seems to be angry all the time. ZJ's
mom explains it's because of all the head injuries his dad
sustained during his career. ZJ can understand that--but it doesn't
make the sting any less real when his own father forgets his name.
As ZJ contemplates his new reality, he has to figure out how to
hold on tight to family traditions and recollections of the glory
days, all the while wondering what their past amounts to if his
father can't remember it. And most importantly, can those happy
feelings ever be reclaimed when they are all so busy aching for the
past?
