Cecilia has picked our book for September. We are reading Coming Back Stronger by Drew Brees. Here is a little of what it is about:
When a potentially career-ending shoulder injury left quarterback Drew
Brees without a team—and facing the daunting task of having to learn to
throw a football all over again—coaches around the NFL wondered, Will he ever come back? After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, leaving more than 80 percent of the city underwater, many wondered, Will the city ever come back?
And with their stadium transformed into a makeshift refugee camp,
forcing the Saints to play their entire 2005 season on the road, people
questioned, Will the Saints ever come back? It takes a special
person to turn adversity into success and despair into hope—yet that is
exactly what Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees has done—and with the weight of
an entire city on his shoulders. Coming Back Stronger is the
ultimate comeback story, not only of one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks,
but also of a city and a team that many had all but given up on. Brees’s
inspiring message of hope and encouragement proves that with enough
faith, determination, and heart, you can overcome any obstacle life
throws your way and not only come back, but come back stronger.
So, grab a copy from the library or borrow it from a friend, and happy reading!!!!
