Description
Deep in northern Arizona, basketball is passion and tradition. At Chinle High School, the sport brings people together, transcending everyday challenges and family struggles. For the players, it's a way to roam the mesa tops, work hard, and wonder about their futures. Celebrated Times journalist Michael Powell spent a season immersed in the team, town, and culture of this Navajo reservation community. He witnessed exhilarating wins, crushing losses, and conversations on long bus rides across the desert about dreams and fears. This book tells his story, revealing the magic and painful realities that confront Native Americans living on reservations. Through the lens of basketball, Powell sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of a high school team in a small town with 4,500 residents. The result is a moving narrative that shows how sports can be a powerful force in the lives of young people in struggling communities.
