A Most Beautiful Thing is the moving true story of a group of young men growing up on Chicago’s West side who form the first all-black high school rowing team in the nation, and in doing so not only transform a sport, but their lives.
Uplifting and always enlightening . . . . This book is less about this specific sport than how that sport becomes transformative, empowering some kids, giving others a direction.Chicago Tribune
