Chuck
A broken man. A town that wouldn't let him stay broken. And the field where grace grew wild.
Chuck Zartman's world ended the day his son Charley died. Now he's a storm cloud in a faded red, food-stained polo, haunting the sidelines of a football field he can't bear to abandon. The flask in his pocket burns hotter than his rage, and the memorial cross mocks him with every rustle of its daffodils.
But Thomastown isn't done with Chuck.
When a girl named Wendy sits next to and befriends him Chuck's armor cracks. Then splits. A girl with glasses too big for her face and long dark hair happens to sit next to the loud alcoholic and opens her bible.
Under Friday night lights and summer storms, in the mud and miracles of small-town life, Chuck learns that second chances aren't earned-they're given. From mentoring a firecracker foster kid to facing the ghost of his son's legacy, Chuck's journey is raw, redemptive, and real.
