description: Dreams of Glory is about the very essence of football: without million-dollar contracts or drug scandals, without alumni funds or greedy owners. It is the story of a season with one suburban high school football team which is a microcosm of America's melting pot, made up of whites, African-Americans, and Asian-Americans from every economic and social background, and it is written by a most unlikely author—the mother of one of the players, whose previous book was a literary biography of the writer Shirley Jackson.
