Book summary

High school senior Lonnie Jackson sees his basketball scholarship as a golden opportunity to escape his poor neighborhood in Harlem. But college turns out to be much more difficult than he anticipates. The classes are tough, and the pressure of playing high-stakes basketball is compounded by a local gambler who wants Lonnie to fix games for him. When Lonnie meets Sherry Jewett, a determined, independent college track star, he is inspired to dig deep inside himself for the inner strength to do the right thing.
