Comeback' chronicles the triumph of Coach Peterson, a high school teacher and girls' basketball coach, who is haunted by a personal catastrophe which overshadows everything -- every victory, every relationship. Calling on all the determination, strategy, and heart he has so often inspired in others, Coach Peterson faces his greatest challenge...and makes a momentous 'comeback'. 'The reader of Strohm's suspenseful and sympathetic journey is simultaneously in the grip of a thriller, inside the head of a basketball junkie, and at the feet of a natural-born storyteller.' -- Charles McDermid, The San Francisco Chronicle 'Craig Strohm has told a story that reflects years of experience on the basketball court, and, rarer still, a knowledge of the hazards of the human heart.' -- Peter Collier, best-selling author of 'The Kennedys' 'A heart-rending story that forces the reader to take a close look at the line between obsessive behavior and staying true to one's convictions.' --Denise Curry,1997 Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist
