When we first meet him, he is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or how to read or write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white, evangelical family plucks him from the streets. Then two great forces alter Oher: the family's love and the evolution of professional football itself into a game in which the quarterback must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist becomes the priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the quarterback's greatest vulnerability: his blind side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis paperback edition contains a brand-new 2007 afterword.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428210557164,"sku":"9780393330472","price":31.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780393330472.jpg?v=1774766930","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-blind-side-by-michael-lewis-9780393330472","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
