Media reviews
“It takes two ingredients to make a book special: a great story and a great storyteller. The Miracle of St. Anthony has both. Bob Hurley is a remarkable coach; Adrian Wojnarowski is his equal as a writer.”
—John Feinstein, bestselling author of Season on the Brink
“Takes you through this miracle season where this high school basketball team didn’t have the greatest talent but somehow came out on top . . . [Coach Hurley] is dedicated to these city kids and helping them overcome the obstacles that the city can offer. A lot of his lessons are not about basketball, but about life, and doing things the right way.”
—Bill Raftery, The Wall Street Journal
“Compelling.”
—Chicago Tribune
“A classic.”
—Boston Globe
“Astonishing”
—New York Post
“Hard to put down.”
—The Washington Post
