Playing for Position

Rick Dockery is an NFL quarterback who can’t catch a break. One huge mistake makes him a national laughing stock overnight, and no team will touch him.

Playing for Pizza

But all Rick knows is football, and he needs to find a team. Against all odds, Rick gets his break – as star quarterback for the Panthers… of Parma, Italy.

Playing for Pride

Rick doesn’t speak a word of Italian, and the crowds there aren’t exactly NFL-standard. But football americano is about more than fame, and home comes in the most unlikely of packages.

Such a wonderful book. I have read or listened John Grisham for the first time. And oh boy.. he nailed it according to his reputation.
A story about a football player (American Football) and his effort to win his team in Italian league. Flavour of the menu is added by his short time affair.
Delighted to listen. Gives a good & positive vide. Perfect read to start a new year!
