Synopsis of Through the Flames
(with nods to Dawn
Colclasure Wilson’s review)
“Your
home life is a mess.” This is The Understatement of the Year. Larry’s senior
year, things go from bad to worse for the dysfunctional Allen family. The story
begins with the homecoming game for Bobby Layne High School and a harsh slam to
the star quarterback’s world - a tough hit during the second quarter of the
football game.
Larry
and his two brothers are not loners, but they are essentially alone. Their dad,
Robert Allen, is away playing for the NFL half the year and their mother,
Suzanne, has moved out and gotten a job at a local bar; the grief of losing her
daughter overpowering her ability to manage three teenage sons and a household
on her own. Alcoholism raises its ugly head, capturing the oldest son, Craig,
and Suzanne in its clutches.
Athletes
in Texas and throughout the world hear No Pain No Gain, Quitters Never Win and
Winners Never Quit and so many other mantras of carrying on through adversity.
Larry is the quintessential suffering hero, he plays through injuries like a
Pro. His focus is on leading his team, doing his job, winning.
But
head injuries do not respond to playing through. The brain needs inactivity to
recover. Injuries slow Larry down, but a concussion brings him to a halt - a
coma - a new life without football.
What could those around him have done to
prevent it?
Through
the Flames is an inspirational story of how one family plays through tragedy
and troubles, the bonds of love emerge as stronger than any other. This book is
a stand-alone work, but The Fire Series began with Book One: Into the Fire and
will continue in Book Three.
