by John Grisham
Samuel Sooleymon, a raw but talented basketball player from South Sudan, gets a chance at a new life when he's recruited to play in America. As civil war threatens his family back home, Sooley pursues his hoop dreams with desperate intensity. Grisham crafts an inspirational underdog story about athletic ambition, cultural displacement, and the immigrant's divided heart.
