Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever by Kareem Rosser

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

This is a fantastic memoir about a nonprofit horse barn in Philadelphia and the city kids whose lives were transformed by riding horses and playing polo. Rosser and his siblings grew up in a neighborhood devastated by poverty, addiction, and violence. While riding their bikes one day, the siblings happen upon the Work to Ride Stables and meet the nonprofit's owner, Lezlie, who immediately gives them after school jobs and gets them up on horses. She also teaches them how to play polo, typically considered a rich man's sport, and coaches them all the way to a national championship. It's an incredible story.
