This is about a thinking, rational and serious boy whose life changes when his mother and father divorce. He finds life with his step father quite different but being a thinking person he manages to get by. As the story moves on, Asa copes with his new life and his new "father" through athletics. Gradually, he learns that not everything can be thought out in advance. Sometimes you just have to feel to follow what is in the heart and to love no matter what.
