For Maddox, nothing could be worse than the drama that has overtaken the fieldball team...that is, except for the impossibly difficult poetry assignment thrust upon him in English class. But another issue—something deeper and darker than his athletic and scholastic turmoils—possesses Maddox’s mind during his second year: how can the Donatus Institute have so many perplexing inconsistencies? But despite the frustration, Maddox has a foolproof cure: talking with Professor Adams.

 

But when Maddox least expects it, a double dose of tragedy strikes with crippling force, bringing him to his knees. Though the tragedy reveals details of his past he never knew, with all he has lost, will Maddox ever be the same again? How will he find the strength and will to recover?
