Tony is an African-American high school student and a stand-out high school football player on track to participate in college football and, possibly, the NFL. Tony and his older brother learned the social dynamics of surviving on the inner city streets while fostering their love for football. Then his brother, who is also his best friend, went away to college on a football scholarship and Tony found himself alone. He fell into a deep, life threatening depression when faced with the fact that he was illiterate; he may never graduate from high school and realize his dream of a career in the NFL.

Follow Tony's plight from utter despair to a life full of hope and personal victories when he asks a Science teacher to teach him to read. God challenges the teacher to choose: Tony's life or her career. She chooses Tony's life and many miraculous occurrences intercede in Tony's life to pave the way to his victory!

Many famous people are part of this heart-rending story. Mike Brown-owner of the Cincinnati Bengals,Duke Tobin- Bengals Director of Player Personnel, Levi Jones-former Bengals NFL left tackle, Lawrence Taylor – Hall of Fame NFL player and Drs. Ted Waller and Charles Abbottsmith of Ohio Heart and Christ Hospital in Cincinnati all played a role in the progression of Tony from a ‘street kid’ to the success he is today!
