"Something for Joey" is one of my all time favorite books. It is a biography and a tear jerker. Be prepared to cry at the end of the book. I knew what was going to happen, and still did. I found this book at the public library when I was in college. I haven't read it since I was in college. First this story was made into a tv movie, then it was made into a book.
Together, they won college football's highest award. This is a true, memorable, compassionate story of courage and love between two brothers. In 1973, while John Cappelletti was winning the Heisman Trophy as the outstanding college football player in America, his younger brother Joey was suffering from leukemia. But John, now a running back for the Los Angeles Rams, had a very special medicine fro Joey. It was called touchdowns. and John scored them in bunches because they were "Something for Joey." The story of the Cappelletti family is a story of courage you will never forget.
This book was written in 1977.
