The Farewell Season — Ann Herrick

A story of how love heals and love endures. Eric and Glynnie go from butting heads to grudging friendship to something more. Eric used to think he'd live forever, but not anymore. As football season starts, he hopes he can live normally again after the death of his father. But his refusal to face his grief results in anger at his coach, fights with his sister, resenting added responsibilities, and disillusionment with football. It takes a special relationship with Glynnie, who is struggling with the divorce of her parents, to open his heart to love again.
