Playing for Pizza

by John Grisham
$8.90 $3.90 56% off
Playing for Pizza - Thryft
Playing for Pizza - Thryft

Underdog quarterback's unexpected Italian adventure.

"Playing for Pizza" could be your cozy literary escape, wrapping you up in Rick Dockery's tale of redemption and self-discovery away from the American spotlight. It's not just football; it's about finding community and purpose in the quaint streets of Italy. Give it a read, and you might find yourself rooting for more than just touchdowns—perhaps for a second chance in life and for the joy that comes when you play not for fame, but for the love of the game.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Rick Dockery was a quarterback for one of America's most famous football teams when he gave arguably the worst performance in his league's history. Overnight Rick became a laughing stock and unemployable in his own country.But somehow Rick's agent finds him a job. He is guaranteed a starting position and a salary. The only problem is that the team that wants him is in Parma, Italy. The American football league in Italy is tiny and, unlike Rick, the Italian players only get paid in free meals.Rick has never been to Italy, so it's no surprise that the country has a few surprises for him. What follows is a delightful, heart-warming story of an innocent abroad.
