Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A warm and invigorating memoir about a daughter's love for her father and her appreciation for how he and others changed the game of football forever. Gene Washington's football career ended long before his daughter Maya was born. She never saw the legendary powerhouse as anything but her dad. She didn't yet grasp the impact he'd had on the sport--and on America. To understand his historic role in the integration of college football, witness his influence on generations that followed, and fully appreciate his legacy, Maya had a lot of catching up to do. Maya retraces her father's journey from the segregated south to Michigan State during the peak of the Civil Rights Movement and his journey as an NFL pioneer after the 1967 draft. She reflects on how her father's childhood--and the racism he faced--shaped her upbringing and influenced his expectations of her. She also discovers how unbreakable the emotional bond between teammates can be. But above all, Maya and her father get to know each other. As their own bond deepens, so does Maya's connection to the sport that changed the trajectory of her father's life...and hers.

He also has problems with Elaine and their engagement is in jeopardy. Someone very close to Mark dies and the district attorney believes he has evidence to prosecute Mark. Mark is arrested and put in county prison awaiting his hearing. While Mark is trying to persevere being incarcerated, an attorney, Harry Block, is hired by a friend's mentor to help him. Harry solicits the help of one of his long-term friends, Bob Spicer, to do a lot of the investigation. They work to get the charges dropped and Mark released.

There are new characters too with their own individual quirks. The reader gets a look into medical school, graduate school of mathematics, teaching, coaching basketball, tennis, softball, badminton, working at a sporting goods store, family problems, relationship problems, and life in county prison. The author beautifully incorporates love stories, overcoming life struggles, with a murder mystery.
