Where Dreams Die Hard: A Small American Town and Its Six-Man Football Team

Autor Carlton Stowers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 aug 2006
Down Farm Road 308, an hour's drive south of Dallas, amidst sprawling fields of cotton lies a small community- Penelope, Texas (population 211). Here, where the only thriving businesses are the granary and the post office, unless you count the soft-drink machine in front of the fire station, two-time Edgar award-winning writer Carlton Stowers discovered a special town that came together, not only to support their six-man highschool football team- the Penelope Wolverines- through thick and a lot of thin, but also, and more importantly, each other. Where Dreams Die Hard is a warm and revealing portrait of the American heartland- and of one small town's love affair with the team that unites it. "Through his unforgettable depiction of innocence, goodness, loyalty, and friendship...Carlton Stowers gives us a moving portrait of a community that, in the words of one of the Penelope faithful, is like'stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting.'" (Billie Letts, author of Where the Heart Is ) "High school football in Texas is both sport and religion, and Stowers brilliantly brings this to light in Where Dreams Die Hard." (Jim Dent, author of The Junction Boys )
