{"product_id":"fifth-quarter-jennifer-allen-9780812992328","title":"Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter","description":"George Allen was a top-ranked NFL coach throughout the sixties and seventies, coaching in turn the Chicago Bears, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Washington Redskins. Raised in a home dominated by her three football-obsessed older brothers and her father's relentless schedule, Jennifer Allen came of age in a cauldron of testosterone and win-at-all-costs mentality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuffeted by the coach's tumultuous firings and hirings, the Allen family was periodically propelled to new teams in new cities. And while her French-Tunisian mother attempted to teach Jennifer proper feminine etiquette, the author dreamed of being the first female quarterback in the NFL. But as she grew up, she yearned mostly to be someone her father would notice. In a macho world where only foot-ball mattered, what could she strive for? Who could she become? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAllen has written a poignant memoir of the father she tried so hard to know, about a family life that was willfully sacrificed to his endless fanatical pursuit of the Super Bowl. What emerges is a fascinating and singular behind-the-scenes look at professional football, and a memorable, bittersweet portrait of a father and his daughter, written in a fresh and perceptive voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812992326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812992328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.08w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e49644 \/ Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059811053823,"sku":"9780812992328","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0caa5d70-b3f6-47e6-95c9-b24a5c12e90b.jpg?v=1685060477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fifth-quarter-jennifer-allen-9780812992328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
