More DescriptionWhere do you find hope?Every summer in the state of Florida, hundreds of high school football teams comprised of thousands of players and coaches, embark on a journey that will take them to November and possibly beyond. And each of these people carry with them not only a combination of desire for success on the field and the burden of what it will take to achieve it, but also the unique details of their individual lives. Sometimes these details can contribute to success, sometimes they are struggles which can hinder it, and sometimes it is in those struggles that a team, the players, and the coaches can find true purpose, meaning, and hope.A Season of Hope is a story of the struggles of a team on the field and of a coach with his father's leukemia diagnosis. The story takes us from the teams beginning in a hot Florida summer to the end of the schedule, and from the initial diagnosis to its end-of-season conclusion. During the story we come to realize that we can find joy in times of pain, and that hope need not be lost even when things seem most bleak.
