Editorial Review: Product Description: Andy's life changed forever... Andy Jackson was driving the car that crashed one night after a game, killing Robert Washington, his best friend and the captain of the Hazelwood High Tigers.

When dealing with non-readers who can never get past the first few pages of a book before rejecting it as "boring," I hand them a copy of Draper's Tears of a Tiger and suddenly I have created an avid reader.
