Synopsis

"I died exactly the way I lived." The tragic secret of C. P. MacKay's life is hinted at in the first sentence of this astonishing novel. The reader, however, can hardly be prepared for what follows. This is the story of a young man who appeared to have everything going for him. He was a gifted football player. He was a brilliant student who loved poetry. But his downfall began when he received a scholarship to a major university. There, C. P. found his path blocked from all directions as he tried to fulfill his desire to play the game he loved, satisfy his thirst for knowledge, and maintain his integrity.

About this title

Review:

The novel's prose shines. The football sequences are as good as any written. - Kirkus ""This is the kind of book you simply will not put down until the end... with one of the most gut-wrenching and stunning conclusions that I have ever read."" - Birmingham Post-Herold

From the Author:

Thank you for all the positive comments about my first book.
Writing is necessarily a lonely existence, and the writer is never sure if he is connecting with readers. That is, until he gets such wonderful feedback as I have since the publication of "The Forever Season." And that even includes those who took issue with the ending! I'll look for you on the road as I travel in support of the trade paperback edition and my forthcoming novel, "Wizard of the Wind."
