Forever Strong

Gravitas Ventures | Release Date: September 26, 2008

Summary: Rick Penning lives life just like he plays rugby; fast, hard-hitting and intense. When life on the edge lands him in jail, prison ward Marcus Tate offers him a chance to get back in the game by playing for longtime rival team, Highland Rugby. Reluctantly Rick joins the team where he must adopt the grueling training schedule and unique code of conduct that Highland’s legendary coach demands. Egos clash and bitter competitors struggle to find the meaning of “team.” As on-field battles rage, hearts are challenged and loyalties are tried. Rick Penning must decide between the life he lived and a life that stands before him. With a national championship on the line, he will learn that the greatest victories are born in the heart.
