Built like a lineman with a sprinter’s speed, Dewayne Jobe is one of those rare athletes whose exceptional abilities place him in a league of his own.  He is a guaranteed Hall of Famer, a franchise savior.  With his beautiful, intelligent wife running his lucrative endorsement business, the only thing lacking is a road sign confirming his address as Easy Street.

But catastrophe blindsides him and strikes with a crushing vengeance.  Will Dewayne’s faith and character stand the test of such tragedy?  Or will he lose everything – including the love of his life?  How he responds will write an epitaph of failure or spotlight a comeback that is nothing short of a miracle.

Reviews
"Great fiction ennobles and does so by exploring the passions of the human heart: the transforming power of love, the yearning to belong, the power of friendship, the call of destiny, the crisis that fashion and test character.  Barton and Arnold reach for these heights, and in doing so, they call us to our best.  That they accomplish this through a story that is as gritty and desperate as any we might witness on the evening news is a marvelous achievement." 

Stephen Mansfield, NYT bestselling author

"An amazing story of betrayal, forgiveness, redemption and hope.  The characters are vibrant and alive.  Barton and Arnold have a rare and keen understanding of human nature, making the spiritual truths of this story both profound and compelling." 

Michael W. Smith, recording artist

"Like a close game and a score that just won’t turn around, Dewayne’s true fans and Hometown Favorite readers will appreciate the daunting odds fate doles out and this story’s hard-won outcome."
