Matt, a white quarterback from Montreal, Quebec, flies to France (without his parents' permission) to play football and escape family pressure. Freeman, a black football player from San Antonio, Texas, is in Paris on a school trip when he hears about a team playing American football in a rough, low-income suburb called Villeneuve-La-Grande. Matt and Free join the Diables Rouges and make friends with the other players, who come from many different ethnic groups. Racial tension erupts into riots in Villeneuve when some of their Muslim teammates get in trouble with the police, and Matt and Free have to decide whether to get involved and face the very real risk of arrest and violence.

In my life, I have wrestled with my thoughts to understand love. I now realize there are different levels of such and that no two loves are the same. These volumes of poetry are a reflection of what I feel and experience when I close my eyes and think of love, poems reflecting one woman that I may have loved and lost or even one woman that I had and abused. With my eyes closed, oftentimes I have been directed as to what I write. Please remember, that when sharing I do not always speak from a personal point of view; each poem is just an expression of love felt at the stage it was in. As with the initial meeting, getting to know and falling in love fully are levels of love. Breaking up, coming to grips with this loss, and moving on should definitely be considered a part of love as well. Maybe, if we understood these levels better, we could respect them more fully. In doing so, we can possibly cause ourselves and those others that we come into contact with a lot less pain, grief, and sorrow. And we can bring a lot more love, love, love at whatever level of love we find ourselves in.

A memoir from one of the most admired players in baseball, the captain of the New York Mets, David Wright   David Wright played his entire Major League Baseball career for one team, the team he dreamed of playing for as a kid: the New York Mets.   A quick fan favorite from Virginia who then earned his stripes in New York, Wright came back time and again from injury and demonstrated the power of hard work, total commitment, and an infinite love of the game.     Wright’s stats are one thing. He was a seven-time All-Star, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, and a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner. He holds many Mets franchise records and was nicknamed "Captain America" after his performance in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. But there is more: The walk-offs. The Barehand. The Subway Series and World Series home runs. And the electricity that swept through Shea Stadium then Citi Field whenever number 5, “the Captain,” was in the game.
