Writing with the same descriptive flair that has won his novels so much praise, Wetherell tells the true story of his teenage son's winning soccer season. "Soccer Dad" is simultaneously the candid reflections of a devoted father and diehard soccer fan.

W. D. Wetherell has written numerous books, including Vermont River and The Wisest Man in America. The American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded him the prestigious Strauss Living Award in 1998. He lives in Lyme, New Hampshire.
