Dream Catcher: A Story of Friendship, Family, and Football - Paperback

by Melinda Folse (Author), Kimberly Spinks Burleson (With), Teri Spinks Netterville (With)

Do ya wanna throw some?

So began the lifelong friendship between NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback Terry Bradshaw and his favorite receiver through junior high, high school, and college, Tommy Spinks. Within the pages of this sweet and salty, page-turning romp told through the eyes of Spinks, you'll gain special insight into friendship that withstands the rigors of time, trials of competition, and tests of tenacity to reveal the heart of the kind of connection that lasts a lifetime.

As readers follow this unfolding "Wonder Years" meets "The Sandlot" story of best friends and contagious dreams, you'll laugh out loud even as your heart twists in the raw intensity of dreams taking shape, falling apart, and then crossing the goal line together by the best friends and unlikely heroes of this never-before-told story.

Far from offering up just another "football story," Dream Catcher gets to the heart and soul of what it means to catch -- and share -- a very big dream. Within this generous slice of southern life and simpler times, when kids played outside until dark and friendships forged over sport mirrored lifelong values of commitment, loyalty, and trust, you'll find a model of friendship built to go the distance.
