The Brother of a Hero
The weight of someone else's glory can be heavier than any crown. Fifteen-year-old Rodney Merrill arrives at Maple Hill Academy with his brother's reputation walking ahead of him like a shadow. Ginger Merrill: star quarterback, campus legend, the name that opens every door. Rodney has none of that. What he has is a room full of expectations he never asked for, teammates who see only the brother he couldn't possibly be, and a quiet, gnawing fear that he's destined to live in someone else's highlight. But Maple Hill has a way of revealing who you actually are. Through fumbling attempts and unlikely friendships, through moments of embarrassment and unexpected courage, Rodney begins to understand that legacy is not a chain but a canvas. This is a gentle, wry coming-of-age story about the courage it takes to step out from behind someone else's light and discover the person you're becoming.
