The basketball season at Casteline High School is about to begin, and both James Rush, a junior guard, and Ben LaMott, the veteran coach of the Panthers, anticipate a fulfilling season. Yet, as the season unfolds, both player and coach confront the challenges that inevitably undermine the most fervent hopes. In the end The Arc of Intersection illustrates the ways that lives cross, leaving the main characters wondering whether they could have done it better, and just how much they need the efforts of others in order to succeed. This book conveys the upheaval of adolescence and the equally unsettling uncertainty of middle-age, as both James and Ben devote their greatest efforts to the success of the team, while trying to maintain their balance on the shifting slopes of their lives. The book also conveys the passion of high school sports, the richness of the endeavor and the tenuousness of the successes.
