My Home Team: A Sportswriter's Life and the Redemptive Power of Small-Town Girls Basketball

The Morton High School Lady Potters Basketball Team: A Memoir of Hope, Togetherness, and Competition is a poignant and intimate story of a legendary sports journalist's rise to professional success and his return to his hometown late in life.

Kindred writes about his personal hardship and how his urge to write sustained him, as he attended game after game, making notes and recapping the Lady Potters' many runs to state championships.

This memoir reminds readers what sports are really about - joy, togetherness, fire of competition, and inexhaustible hope for victory tomorrow.

Kindred avoids self-pity and instead cites the inspiration of other legends like Red Smith.

This is a must-read for anyone who loves sports, personal stories, or simply wants to be inspired by the power of human connection.
