About the Book:
Bestselling author Jim Stovall’s latest offering and first title of his Homecoming Historical Series, One Season of Hope, is a rare combination of tear-jerking emotion, powerful wisdom, and inspiring hope. Written in Stovall’s signature easy and economical style, the story is told through the perspective of Glen Fullerton, “a man for the last forty-two years in the Truman High universe, simply known as Coach.”
Welcome to the Friday night lights of Harry S. Truman High School football stadium. Coach knows the roller-coaster ride of a high school football season better than anyone. But this season is different than any he has experienced in all his years of coaching. It is one of life-changing suspense and gripping lessons in the value of humanity.
Regular, reflective “conversations” with the late President Truman give guidance, mined from the coach’s love and study of history, to help him through the most challenging season of his long and storied career at Truman High—a season that he will forever remember as One Season of Hope.

My Review:
Jim Stovall has a way with words. It doesn't matter if its a fiction book or non fiction, he can make you see straight to the heart of the characters he is writing about. Such is the case with Coach. One Season of Hope invites us on a journey where Glen Fullerton also known as Coach has come to the end of his career. We follow along as he looks back over some very prominent moments as well as highlights. Some of the choices were hard, but always worth the effort. Times and people he will never forget. One Season of Hope is part of the Homecoming Historical Series and it is a touching story of reflection and inspiration sure to melt your heart.
A very touching tribute and incredible story as the main character reflects on the one place and the many people that help shape him and made him the man he turned out to be.
