Down Farm Road 308, an hour’s drive south of Dallas, amidst sprawling fields of cotton lies a small community–Penelope, Texas (population 211). Here, where the only thriving businesses are the granary and the post office, unless you count the soft-drink machine in front of the fire station, two-time Edgar Award-winning writer Carlton Stowers discovered a special town that came together, not only to support their six-man highschool football team–the Penelope Wolverines–through thick and a lot of thin, but also, and more importantly, each other. Where Dreams Die Hard is a warm and revealing portrait of the American heartland–and of one small town’s love affair with the team that unites it. “Through his unforgettable depiction of innocence, goodness, loyalty, and friendship…Carlton Stowers gives us a moving portrait of a community that, in the words of one of the Penelope faithful, is like ‘stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting.'” (Billie Letts, author of Where the Heart Is) “High school football in Texas is both sport and religion, and Stowers brilliantly brings this to light in Where Dreams Die Hard.” (Jim Dent, author of The Junction Boys)
