Book Reviews of A Home on the Field: How One Championship Soccer Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small Town America
Book Review: Excellent and inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
Remarkable and well-written story of Latino high school students who win the North Carolina state soccer championship. Let me underscore that it's good sports writing, as well as reasonable social analysis. The author is both the coach of the team and a magazine reporter. White supremacists are sure not to like this book, as klansman David Duke himself denounced these kids. The story of "Los Jets" will win the hearts of all real Americans, just as they won the struggle against racism and poverty.
