Synopsis: In this memoir of a Southern childhood, football is a family&’s salvation—and its destruction. The King of Halloween & Miss Firecracker Queen tells the story of a football life from a daughter&’s perspective. Chronicling a rise through the competitive ranks—from high school to college to professional coaching, and ultimately a Super Bowl championship—it also reveals the struggle to deal with the decline and death of the patriarch, Lamar Leachman, from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) as a result of that life. With forewords by NFL legends Phil Simms and Harry Carson, this is a true story of one family&’s love for a game and for each other, one man&’s strength of character, one woman&’s love that sustained him.
