If you loved Heartland, you were probably drawn to Keith O'Brien's gift for turning a single basketball season into something utterly gripping—an underdog story told with the pace of a thriller and the eye of a great journalist. O'Brien brings you courtside and into small-town Indiana with such vivid, carefully researched detail that you feel the sweat and tension of every game, while his warm, accessible voice makes Larry Bird's improbable journey resonate far beyond the sports world. It's that rare book that works both as a celebration of basketball and as a deeply human story about grit, community, and a moment that changed the game forever.
