The Blind Side by Michael Lewis
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
The Blind Side
Michael Lewis
W. W. Norton & Company
"A nonfiction masterpiece"
-Ira Glass, host of This American Life
When we first meet him, Michael Oher is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or how to read or write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white, Evangelical family plucks him from the streets. Then two great forces alter Oher: the family's love and the evolution of professional football into a game where the quarterback must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist becomes the priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the quarterback's greatest vulnerability, his blind side.
"Lewis is the finest storyteller of our generation, and this is his best book. Supposedly about football...it's actually an extraordinary story about love and redemption."
-Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Blink
