What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals directly with a severe sports injury (a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum). The description is clinical, focusing on the physical challenge, the surgery, and the grueling rehabilitation process. The resolution is triumphant. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina is mentioned as the backdrop for the New Orleans part of the story, but the focus is on the community's hope and resilience, not the graphic details of the disaster. The approach is secular and positive.
