About the Author
Roy W. Martin was born "Roy Martin's long stint as a middle school teacher and administrator shows in his realistic depiction of the students of Unionville, particularly Bear. Under difficult circumstances--an abusive, uncaring father, a weak, absent mother, and younger siblings he must care for--Bear remains resilient and determined to succeed in school and football. It is Bear's coming to terms with what life hands him that makes him a sympathetic character readers will care about." --Tony Perona, author of Angels Whisper and Second Advent
