The Blind Side by Michael Lewis
From the author of the best-selling business books, Liar's Poker and Moneyball, comes the inspirational true story of a young man who rises above his own personal tragedy to become a star athlete in America's major football league, the NFL.
Michael Oher, a homeless African American teenager, is taken under the wing of the Touhys, a wealthy white Memphis family. Oher's size and speed on the football field bring him accolades, but learning the game's strategy and making it as a student requires the help of his new family, coaches and tutor.
