The #1 New York Times Bestseller
"Lewis has such a gift for storytellingā¦he writes as lucidly for sports fans as for those who read him for other reasons." āJanet Maslin, New York Times
When we first meet him, Michael Oher is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or how to read or write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white, Evangelical family plucks him from the streets. Then two great forces alter Oher: the familyās love and the evolution of professional football itself into a game where the quarterback must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist becomes the priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the quarterbackās greatest vulnerability, his blind side.
