Where Dreams Die Hard: A Small American Town and Its Six-Man Football Team
(eBook)
Description
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 high school 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.
