I Just Want You To Know My Name (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798697417393)

Imagine being born and immediately placed into the foster-care system, such was the fate of Johnny and his older brother Terry. Because of Terry's persistent bed-wetting, the boys experienced unspeakable acts of torture and abuse. In 1973 at the ages of eight and ten, the brothers were adopted and provided a lifestyle they never dreamed possible. Seizing an opportunity for family and normalcy, Johnny embraced his new life, but Terry, deeply scarred by their traumatic past, took a different path, and by the age of thirteen was placed into a facility for troubled youths. Years later in the fall of 1982, Johnny is a high school senior, a college football prospect, and quarterback of a top-ranked program. He has dreams of guiding his team to another championship season when suddenly, his brother Terry returns with a shocking request. Johnny's life is immediately thrown into turmoil as he tries to reconcile his past, salvage a dysfunctional relationship with his father, placate a maniacal head football coach, and maneuver through a season on the brink in a football-addicted Alabama town. Triumph, tragedy, and redemption unfold within the pages of I Just Want You To Know My Name
