Bookroo's summary
Darren Taylor, a star defensive end, sees his dreams shatter after a shoulder injury sidelines him. As he battles pain and uncertainty, he spirals into addiction, risking his future and life. Can Darren overcome his demons and reclaim his path, or will his struggles consume him? The stakes are high in Houston's Third Ward, where football is more than just a game.
From the publisher
Darren Taylor is an all-state defensive end on one of the top teams in Houston. Only football promises to take him away from his gang-filled neighborhood in Houston’s Third Ward. But during a preseason scrimmage, Darren tears up his right shoulder, taking him out for the season. The sudden uncertainty sends Darren into a spiral, leading to an addiction to pain pills that threatens to end his football career–and, maybe, his life. Houston is from Texas Fridays, an EPIC Press series.
