Both have different skills sets and together make for a really good team. The writing is another sus- penseful account of high school basketball culture and the opposi- tional forces that kids face, a pre- quel to his previous pens, Wiley’s Lament (2003) and Wiley’s Shuf- fle, (2004). The book intersects basketball culture and gangs in a trajecto- ry of conflicts that wage turmoil on high school athletes dreaming of winning state championships while dealing with the surround- ing elements and influx of gangs waging warfare on turfs. It’s a tug of war of triumph and tragedy as students, neighborhoods and fam- ilies try to co-exist. The book is also a tribute to ev- eryone who successfully navigated the violence during these eras. It’s homage to hometown heroes who will never be forgotten. There are villains and victims, and like a tsu- nami, when catastrophe strikes, the tidal wave of tragedy is of such mag- nitude that everyone is impacted. Waiwaiole shared that the name of one of his characters was in- spired by a student he taught at Marshall who wanted to be named in his book. The inspiration for the name Wiley came from the au- thor’s childhood. “That name came from a nick- name, kids used to call me. Be- cause they couldn’t pronounce my first and last name, they used to call me ‘Wiley Coyote.’ So I said okay, fine, I will reference it as my alter ego.” Waiwaiole shares that his cul- tural background helped him de- velop the different characters. “Being multicultural, it’s been a benefit throughout my literary life. Especially, how people get along in inner and outer circles. It has helped me interact with people from various groups.” Getting People Out of Debt Thru Teamwork ATTEND OUR “FREE TRAINING” Call Coach John For an Interview 503-358-9655 or email: team1won@gmail.com Call & Listen at 877-650-8686
