NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢ A deeply affecting coming-of-age memoir about family, love, loss, basketballâ€”and life itselfâ€”by the beloved author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini
Â
During one unforgettable season as a Citadel cadet, Pat Conroy becomes part of a basketball team that is ultimately destined to fail. And yet for a military kid who grew up on the move, the Bulldogs provide a sanctuary from the cold, abrasive father who dominates his lifeâ€”and a crucible for becoming his own man.
Â
With all the drama and incandescence of his bestselling fiction, Conroy re-creates his pivotal senior year as captain of the Citadel Bulldogs. He chronicles the highs and lows of that fateful 1966â€“67 season, his tough disciplinarian coach, the joys of winning, and the hard-won lessons of losing. Most of all, he recounts how a group of boys came together as a team, playing a sport that would become a metaphor for a man whose spirit could never be defeated.
