True story about 2 very underpriveledged boys who become dear friends and have complimentary disabilities. One can't see and the other can't walk. They join their HS wrestling team and end up in a story on ESPN where Lisa becomes their mentor, supporter and in many ways, a mother to them. Very good look into how poverty affects generations and how family support can make or break kids. Very clean, easy read and well written.
