One day Michael Oher will be among the most highly paid athletes
in the National Football League. When we first meet him, he is one
of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he does not
know his real name, his father, his birthday, or how to read or
write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white,
evangelical family plucks him from the streets. Then two great
forces alter Oher: the family's love and the evolution of
professional football itself into a game in which the quarterback
must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist becomes the
priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard
the quarterback's greatest vulnerability: his blind side.
This paperback edition contains a brand-new 2007 afterword.
