The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis

Michael Lewis tells the remarkable true story of Michael Oher, a homeless black teenager who becomes one of the most coveted prospects in college football — and of the white family who takes him in. As Oher’s talent on the field grows, so does his understanding of the world that once seemed closed to him. Through his journey, Lewis also explores the evolution of football itself, tracing how the left tackle position became one of the most crucial — and highly paid — in the game. The Blind Side is both a powerful human story and a sharp look at the forces that shape modern sports and opportunity.
