商品簡介
In this deeply felt, unforgettable book, Bill Reynolds journeys with a high school basketball team through the past and present of an American town. Fall River, Massachusetts, is a once-prosperous industrial center haunted by its history, the Durfee High School basketball team begins its annual drive for a state championship: a quest that inspires and sometimes consumes kids, coaches, families, teachers, and all of Fall River.
Fall River Dreams is the story of one season's quest-a classic book about sports, youth, time, hope, and memory in American today.
Bill Reynolds is a sports columnist for the Providence Journal-Bulletin and the author of several previous books, including Glory Days: A Basketball Memoir and Success Is a Choice (with Rick Pitino). He lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
Bill Reynolds here travels with a high school basketball team through both the past and present of an American town. Fall River, Massachusetts, is a once-prosperous industrial center haunted by its history, a blue-collar town facing hard times and an uncertain future. Each autumn, however, the Durfee High School basketball team begins its annual drive for the state championship: a quest that often inspires and sometimes consumes kids, coaches, families, teachers, and everyone else in Fall River.
Fall River Dreams is the story of one season's odyssey—a work "about history, education, the New England economy, sociology, and modern society. It is about people first and sports second . . . Reynolds has put together a book that should become a New England classic" (Providence Phoenix).

"Bill Reynolds is one of the best writers around, and this book is the Friday Night Lights of high school basketball."—Dan Shaughnessy, author of Ever Green
