Paco's wrestling teammate, Chad, missed so much school for the sexual abuse trial. Parents don't want their kids hanging around him because he acts out, but Paco's parents don't object when their son picks Chad as a friend. Paco feels horses gallop through his chest when they're together, and their closeness has evolved with the ferocity of a wolf pack by the time his great-grandfather tells him he's a two-spirit. Will his parents accept their son for who he is? Do they know? Can he have a crush on an opponent and still beat him in a match? Looking at sexual abuse, alcoholism, recovery, and the prejudice in cultural expectations, this book is the first in the Thunder Boys Series narrated by Paco and his pack.
