Feinstein spent months interviewing the players, coaches, and fans who were part of the team's historic season. The result is a deeply reported and emotionally resonant book that captures the essence of what made the Jefferson High School basketball team so special.

At the heart of the story is the team's star player, Jimmy Chitwood. A gifted athlete with a troubled past, Chitwood is a complex and compelling figure. Feinstein does an excellent job of exploring Chitwood's inner demons and his ultimate redemption.

Surrounding Chitwood is a cast of equally unforgettable characters. There's Coach Dale Douglass, a demanding but compassionate leader who believes in his players even when they doubt themselves. There's William "Boo" Johnson, a talented point guard who provides comic relief and keeps the team grounded. And there's Jimmy's father, Bud, a former college basketball player who struggles to accept his son's success.

Together, these characters form a bond that is unbreakable. They face adversity together, from injuries to financial hardship. But through it all, they never give up on their dream of winning a championship.
