LIFE WAS MEANINGLESS UNTIL HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HOCKEY
Jake was a fifteen-year old runaway from West Texas who was a nothing, a zero -- he didn't care about anybody and nobody cared about him. That was until he found himself hiding under the bleachers of an ice arena in northern Wisconsin where he discovered hockey. He was mesmerized by the shimmering perfection of the ice and the flow and power of the game. One problem -- he didn't know how to skate. Jake vowed he would lie, cheat, even steal, to make his dream come true. This is a story about persistence and self-discovery, the drive to achieve the impossible, and the hunger to belong to something meaningful, all because of his love for the game.
