Book Synopsis
The inspirational true story about the trials and victories of the Hope High School basketball team in inner-city Providence, Rhode Island.
Hope High School in Providence, Rhode Island was once a model city school, graduating a wide range of students from different backgrounds. But the tumult of the 1960s and the drug wars of the 70s changed both Providence and Hope. Today, the aging school is primarily Hispanic and African-American, with kids traveling for miles by bus and foot each day.
