Hometown Favorite: A Novel
Talented, handsome, and personable, Dewayne Jobe rose from
humble beginnings in rural Mississippi to play college football in
Southern California and beyond. One of the best wide receivers in
college ball, Dewayne is assured a promising career in professional
football and easily finds success both on and off the field. Not
only is he a great player, he's got the wife, the kids, and the
pristine white picket fence to boot.
But catastrophe looms right around the corner and ultimately
strikes with a crushing vengeance. Will Dewayne's faith and
character stand the test of such tragedy? Or will he lose
everything--including the love of his life? This modern retelling
of the story of Job will capture readers with the age-old question
of why bad things happen to good people--and how good people can
survive.
