(2) YA Ben, whose football hero father has left him and his mom for "some guy named Keith," struggles to balance his own conflicted feelings about his dad with the messages he gets from the testosterone-infused world of male high school athletes. In this look at the emotional life of a suburban jock, Bechard gives readers a likable protagonist with a lot going on under the surface.
