A
book to warm the hearts of professional basketball fans.
Maurice
"Mo" Ousley has been blessed with a lot of talent on the
courts and he also has a lot of support from family and friends.
His basketball team has just won first place mid-season and is on his
way to the All-Star Game before finishing up for the year. His
biggest fan, his girl Gabrielle, is waiting for him after the game
and he plans to ask her to marry him. Half way through the
evening, he finds out that Gabrielle has been keeping a secret
from him since college days. Mo becomes very upset and leaves
her at the restaurant where they had been having dinner and goes on
to a party alone. The party is being given by one of the
basketball players. Upon leaving the party Mo meets with a
friend from the team who announces to him that he intends to propose
marriage to Mo's younger sister. Mo's day is becoming better
and better. Just when things couldn't get any crazier, Mo finds
out that he is being stalked by a fugitive from justice who had
kidnapped his stepfather the previous year. Mo is abducted by
this outlaw and things go from bad to worse. Mo is a nice guy
who had some trouble in his youth but, is now on the straight and
narrow and deserves the good luck that he is having.
Believe
me, you will root for this guy and his family. This story is a
good one and Mr. O'Neal knows his basketball. I enjoyed the
story and read it at one sitting. It reminds me a little of
Mike Lupica and/or Harlan Coben. The facts are good and the
characters are believable. This book is a sequel to Mr.
O'Neal's previous book, "Ulterior Motives." I plan to
obtain a copy so I can see how Mo evolved into the person he is
today. Mr. O'Neal is a Chicago native and certainly knows
whereof he speaks of the basketball world. I hope that these
stories continue as I think there's a lot of material that can be
written about Mo and his family. There sure are a lot of people
in his circle that would make good stories. Good Luck Mr.
O'Neal
