| Summary |
"The Boys of East Hartford reminds us that growing up is tough sometimes, especially when one comes from the wrong neighborhood or even the wrong side of the state. This group of unassuming boys from East Hartford is trying to give themselves and their community something to believe in again. They want to matter. They desire to be someone special. They have to grow into good men who win big football games. The Boys of East Hartford want to go out on top their last year of high school. However, to win the big one, The Boys of East Hartford are going to have to overcome injuries, low morale, and their own coach who psychologically beats them up in the name of making them tougher. They will have to survive mishaps, living, and playing in a northern town rather than the southern powerhouse part of the state. They will have to take on a top-ranked, unbeatable Hamden with their ferocious defense and unstoppable offense stacked with future top-tier college and pro players. The Boys of East Hartford must come together as a team that will have to dig deeper and play football better than anyone thinks is possible. "--Amazon.com |
