Length9h 58m
About this audiobook
The last time I put my hands on Nathan Nyeland, I was reading a fault line in his foot that could end his career, and he looked me in the eye and told a locker room full of men that I was letting my feelings cloud my judgment. Then he signed the waiver over my medical hold, walked onto the field on a foot I knew was breaking, and threw the touchdown that won a conference championship and cost me everything. Four years later he limps into my clinic in Ember Creek on a cane, needing the one person in the sport who can put him back together, and he has no idea that the little girl coloring in my office has his exact stubborn jaw.
I am an athletic trainer. I read bodies for a living, the way they lean and guard and lie, the way every one of us carries the weight around the one place we cannot bear to be touched, until the day it fails under load. I read Nathan wrong exactly once, and it broke both of us. Now he is back, and I am supposed to rebuild the foot and hand him back to the game that already took him from me, and keep our daughter a secret while I do it.
Told in three voices and in two timelines, then and now, this is the story of the year we fell in love and the year he came home to earn it back. Nathan does not get to buy his way in with an apology and a smile. He has to give up the contract, the record, the version of the story that made him the hero, and stand in front of me and our girl with nothing but the truth about what he did, and let me decide whether a fault line that deep can ever be carried right.
He will not get us cheap. Some things you cannot rehab back to how they were. You can only learn to bear the load a different way, together, and find out if what is left is stronger than what broke.
