Synopsis:
Pat Conroy, one of America’s premier novelist, has penned a deeply affecting coming of age memoir about family, love, loss, basketball, and life itself. During one unforgettable season as a Citadel cadet, Conroy becomes part of a basketball team that is ultimately destined to fail. And yet for a military kid who grew up on the move, the Bulldogs provided a sanctuary from the cold, abrasive father who dominates his life, and a crucible for becoming his own man.
He chronicles the highs and lows of that fateful 1966-67 season, his tough disciplinarian coach, the joys of winning, and the hard-won lessons of losing. Most of all, he recounts a group of boys came together as a team, playing a sport that would become a metaphor for a man whose spirit could never be defeated.
