A kid filled with rage, suspended from the football team for unsportsmanlike conduct, and his father, newly home from the war in Afghanistan, reckon with the injuries theyâve caused to others and themselves in this unflinching middle grade novel in verse about love and forgiveness.
Hazardâs a military kid, best known for his prowess at football, and his short fuse. His dadâs been in Afghanistan, third tour. The worry and the pressure over school and his dad are getting to Hazard until one day, the fuse sets off and the repercussions have him benched for six games and assigned to go to therapy. Which is where his dad is as well, at Walter Reed Medical Center, because heâs home nowâwell, most of him. Hazardâs dadâs now learning to walk with a prosthetic, but thatâs not his primary injury. His worst wound is a moral injury: what he did on the battleground that he may never be able to forgive himself for.
As part of Hazardâs therapy, he has to trace back the causes of his own anger by tracing back his fatherâs journey, through letters and emails and texts, so that he can come to terms with what he himself has doneâhis own moral injuryâand help his father overcome his own.
