“When the Men were Gone”
by Marjorie Herrera Lewis
reviewed by Rebecca Blackwood
It’s a man’s game, until now...
The war has changed everything. Most of the men over eighteen are off fighting, including the Brownwood football coach. Assistant principal, Tylene Wilson learned the game at her daddy’s knee. She convinces the school to let her take the job.
Faced with extreme opposition, she remains resolute and leads the team and the town to a Friday night and a time they will never forget.
Based on a true story, this is a vibrant and powerful novel of perseverance and personal courage.
