Eye Opening

This is a must-read book. Especially relevant for teachers, coaches, parents, and anyone involved with youth- sports or non. With each passing day the book becomes more and more relevant.

A tough, but necessary read.

A must read for any person that has children in their lives. I found this book to be a very important read that allowed a glimpse into the struggles of our teens. It’s important to really be there and understand that while a life may look perfect, there can still be struggles. This book is tough, but worthwhile.
