It brought me back to my college days!

SINS OF THE TRIBE is a riveting story of two brothers, college football, the numerous tribes we create to fit into society, and the personal and moral choices we make to finally break free. In a mesmerizing story of innocence, betrayal, and courage, Mark A.

SINS OF THE TRIBE is an absolutely fantastic read, and I was captivated from the first chapter.
