Amid the landmark NFL game in the electric city of São Paulo, Brazil, three very different family men cross paths and find that when it comes to what matters most, cultural differences melt away in this insightful, transporting, multi-cultural drama from New York Times bestselling, NAACP Image Award-winning author Omar Tyree. It's a long way from South Philly, but there's no way die-hard Eagles fan and amateur sports bettor Tony Costa is going to pass up seeing his team play the Green Bay Packers in South America's first-ever NFL game. Forget concerns about wildfires and gang violence, Tony needs a break from his wife and three kids--and his struggling finances need a win. When it comes to cheeseheads, Packers devotee Arthur Braddock more than qualifies as the manager of a Wisconsin cheese factory warehouse. The game provides a wonderful chance to travel with his family--including his 11-year-old daughter, who's become passionate about American flag football. In São Paulo, the game promises great business for Mario Gabriel Santos da Silva and his wife, who own a sports bar and restaurant. But he's most excited to show his
10-year-old son, already a lightning-fast flag football player, what NFL football actually looks like from the stands. As the main event approaches, the men bond over shared meals and anticipation. Game day is epic, a drama-filled battle to the very last second. But Tony is waging an internal battle as well. The only man who's left his family behind, Tony can't help envying the bond between the others. And as he reflects on their perspectives, he begins to understand what winning really means . . . Uplifting and fast-paced, Touchdown in Brazil re-creates the excitement of travel while reminding us of the unifying power of sports and the importance of family ties . . .
