From the Back Cover

The only person who cares about me is Mom. Now that she’s gone I’m stuck at home with my angry dad and my annoying brother. Antoine thinks he’s all that and won’t get off my case. And now that Dad is the assistant principal at school, everything is a mess!

That kid Tyrod is out to get me in trouble. Antoine is all mad because the football coach likes my moves better than his. And Grandma has completely taken over our house. At least Morgan and my boy Trey are in my class. But things are getting weird with Morgan and I’m not sure why.

Even with all the trouble, I’m starting to see that Dad really does have my back. He’s trying to do things God’s way. Like teaching me what it means to be a team player – at home, at school, and on the football field. He might even get Mom to come home. Like I told my friend Morgan, I think it’s all going to work out because we are on God’s team.
