While they try and fail to get it right over the next decade, the game keeps bringing them back together--from Puerto Rico to Tokyo, through courtrooms, churches, and Las Vegas casinos--as they fight to shake the weight of generational curses. But when an alumni game returns them to their college field, they must decide if it's really the love of the game calling them home, or the one in their hearts that they've never been able to let go of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n     \n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fc2-acc-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cbutton class=\"fc2-acc-btn\" onclick=\"fc2Toggle(this)\"\u003e\n        About the author \u003cspan class=\"fc2-acc-icon\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003c\/button\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"fc2-acc-content\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eUSA Today bestselling author Samantha Saldivar is a corporate broadcast producer who has previously worked at the NBC affiliates KGW in Portland and KMTR in Eugene, where she won a regional Emmy award for Best Evening Newscast.
