get invested in the lives of others and get inspired
4 stars
This book pulled me in and grabbed my attention. I read it at a much faster rate than normal because I became very invested in the kids and the coaches. The world that these kids grew up in is very difficult and dangerous -- this is something I "knew" but that is very different than "feeling" and understanding. The writing is very authentic and simple but effective.
It is inspirational in two different ways. If you are facing huge obstacles it give you hope; if you are privileged it inspires you to find meaning and happiness by connecting with others.
