WEBWIRE – Wednesday, October 2, 2019

Afraid the coach might pull him from the game, Brian shook the blood from his finger and hurried and called another play.

Author Gerald Nardella writes a salient story between two teenagers in “Playing Hurt” (ReadersMagnet; 2018). The novel follows Brian, a high school football athlete, and Deanie, a beautiful cheerleader.

Brian is in his senior year of high school and he hopes to make the best of it. During a football match, he gets injured but his coach tells him to stay in the game since nobody is going to replace him. Worse, his girlfriend, Deanie, has been avoiding him since the previous night when they had sex for the first time. He intends to meet her after the big game, but when trouble develops between two rival schools, Brian gets caught up in the middle.

After the rumble, Deanie is with her friends and her previous boyfriend, Bill, who comes back to town. The return of Bill is just the beginning of an uphill battle between Brian and Deanie. Can they emerge stronger? Can they stick it out playing hurt?
