Mikey Carmello loves football. Appointed manager for a high school team, Mikey has but just one dream in life-to score a touchdown for his beloved Wolves. Unfortunately, everyone thinks it is too risky for Mikey to play football-he has Down syndrome. But as football season ends, Mikey has no idea that someone is about to give him a break from the rain. Mikey and the high school football coach share an uncommon relationship. With Mikey's special wish in mind, the coach begins to develop a plan to form an organized football league so that Mikey can safely score the touchdown he has always wanted to achieve. But when Mikey's father is suddenly killed in a car accident, the coach willingly steps into a father role and begins teaching Mikey how everything is possible in life-if he just believes. As the coach and Mikey step into the future together, both are forever changed by their inspirational journey through adversity, societal labeling, and a victory like no other. "A Break in the Rain" is a story about how a coach chooses to be a champion for a little boy with a simple wish and lifts himself up in the process.
As children, we all believe that one day we can reach that impossible dream. Most people don't fulfill their childhood dreams because they stop believing in themselves. "Fourth Down and Long" is an inspirational look at one man's desire to reach his goals--despite life's adversity. From the time he was a small boy, author Tony Lotti dreamed of being a collegiate All-American football player and one day playing in the rough-and-tumble world of the National Football League. Despite a serious car accident, followed by emergency appendectomy surgery, nothing could compete with Lotti's desire to achieve those dreams. Inspired by his faith and family, Lotti remains steadfast through the ups and downs of life. No matter what your profession or status in life, "Fourth Down and Long" will encourage you to never give up on your dreams or the search for happiness--no matter how impossible it seems.
