“It’s fourth down with life to go in Bob Halloran’s powerful Breakdown, where a simple walk home from school in Boston’s bleakest neighborhood is often a lesson in sheer survival. However, these troubled teens from brutal backgrounds find solace and shelter in a dingy locker room and in a coach whose tough words and tough love become their beacon of light. Halloran deftly navigates the violent worlds of street life and football while introducing us to one of the most interesting characters in sports journalism. You’ll be thinking about this coach and this team long after you’ve put the book down.”
–Casey Sherman, bestselling author of The Finest Hours and Bad Blood
“Bob Halloran’s Breakdown gives powerful—and sometimes chilling—insights into the struggles and challenges of trying to bring hope for a better life to students who daily face a world of gangs, drugs, dysfunctional families, and a bleak future. . . . [His] storytelling skills, gained from twenty years as a New England news and sports anchor, shine through. . . . [A]n inspiring story of building up the human spirit.”
