It's a different kind of book for John Grisham but it's every bit as good as his legal
thrillers. All the main character, Rick Dockery, knows is football and when he finally gets a job as a starring quarterback, it's in Italy. He doesn't speak any Italian and doesn't even know where the Italian city is. To say that the land of fine wines, very small cars, and 'football americano' holds a few surprises for him would be an understatement. I's a lighthearted story of football and a good tale of maturing and finding your way in the world.
