Russet

In 1955, high school football was king. In a world where it was hard to follow the national football scene, people flocked to the local high school gridiron to watch their local heroes in action.In this atmosphere, young Russ Blevins rose to the status of a star. The only thing that could hold his interest besides football was Helen James, the girl he had loved for more years than he could remember. But Helen seemed to have little interest in football, or in Russ.Meanwhile, as Russ’s head seemed to continue growing, his own self-importance did as well, and he began to push away or forsake those who looked up to him most.One of these was his giant of a father, Sheriff Arch Blevins, in whose shadow he had grown up. Arch had once been his son’s greatest fan, but now there seems to be a distance between them–a chasm that may never be bridged.Will it take a disaster, or merely love, to bring these two men, the lawman and his young son, back together as family?If you enjoy hometown sports dramas such as The Hoosiers and Remember the Titans, mixed with real life drama and true love, Russet is a story you will not be able to put down and will never forget.
