El futbol muchas veces es más que un deporte: hay ocasiones en las que se torna parte de la cultura de un país pero, también, en parte de la vida de quienes lo practican, lo siguen, de quienes lo valoran. Hay algo íntimo en las crónicas deportivas, algo místico en una jugada y hay algo personal en cada juego. Relatos al pie de la letra es más que una oda al deporte. Este libro está lleno de vivencias en torno al juego, en donde cada personaje tiene algo que contar, demostrar y sentir, ya sea con el balón en frente o sin él. Los nostálgicos, aquellos que añoran tiempos y glorias pasadas, y los fanáticos más jóvenes encontrarán en sus páginas algo que los une: el amor por la número 5, ya sea en campos improvisados en las calles o en los grandes estadios de las principales ligas del mundo.

When Ivy asked her best friend to run away with her at sixteen, she knew he'd say no. He had football, an amazing family, and a happy home to go back to every day. So the night Ivy snuck out of his bedroom window after hugging him goodbye, she accepted she'd probably never see him again. Then they both wound up at Lindon University four years later. Ivy is barely picking up the pieces of her life when the boy whose initials she used to doodle hearts around approaches her at work. Aiden Griffith. Lindon U's star tight end. Still as attractive. Still as dedicated. With rumors of him being drafted to the NFL coming to fruition, Ivy knows it's only a matter of time before they have to say goodbye again. But he can't seem to let her go, no matter what she says, and she doesn't think she wants him to"--

Atlanta Braves minor league pitcher, Brett Davies, has much to contemplate at the young age of 25. Coming back from a torn rotator cuff that slows his dream of major league stardom, he has completed his first post-injury season with their farm team in Greenville, South Carolina. But his success as their top relief pitcher does not lead to a call up to Atlanta at the end of the Greenville season. Did the Braves executives think his repaired shoulder wasn't good enough for major league competition? He needed answers and would go to Atlanta to meet with their general manager to find them. But Brett has more on his mind than baseball. Raised by a single mom, he had never been allowed to meet his father. Brett never knew why. His mother just told him, "It's not possible." And at age 25, Brett wonders if he will ever find the right girl to spend the rest of his life with. No current girlfriend, with none on the horizon, had both Brett (and his mother) concerned. But things were about to rapidly change. The following season Brett finds himself assigned to the Braves minor league team in Rome, Georgia as a player coach. A series of random events brings new people and new challenges into Brett's life. Would they also lead him to the answers he needed to find his way home?
