The book is based on the life of Jim Mahon, who was an outstanding hockey prospect, killed in a farm accident at age 19. His death broke the heart of a whole community. Jim was generally considered to be a young phenom, like a Gretzky or an Orr. His story is compelling even now, forty years after his death not only because of his hockey ability, but more because he was such a great human being.

The text of this book does not fit any category. It's like listening to a storyteller around the campfire rather reading the book.

In spite of that, his book made such a strong impact on me that I still remember clearly every story.<br><br>-Egon Bondy
