This paperback edition contains a brand-new 2007 afterword. Our protagonist becomes the priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the quarterback's greatest vulnerability: his blind side. Then two great forces alter Oher: the family's love and the evolution of professional football itself into a game in which the quarterback must be protected at any cost. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white, evangelical family plucks him from the streets. When we first meet him, he 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. One day Michael Oher will be among the most highly paid athletes in the National Football League.

It's a storybook about modern society, ancient virtues, and the power of love, money and talent to do a little good.' - Jay Hancock, Baltimore Sun
