Douglas Jackson Channell delivers a heartfelt young adult coming-of-age novel about a high school quarterback navigating playoff pressure, relationships, personal convictions, and Christian faith.
New York City, NY
Changing relationships and important questions about identity. In GeorgeAnn High School: Girls, Football and Jesus, author Douglas Jackson Channell places those challenges at the center of a young adult story about football, romance, friendship, family, and faith.
The novel follows Taylor Jackson, a high school student who is asked to quarterback his varsity football team as it enters postseason competition. With the first playoff game only two weeks away, Taylor must manage far more than practices, plays, and expectations on the football field. He is also trying to understand who he is and what he believes while balancing his responsibilities to his girlfriend, his teammates, his family, and his relationship with Jesus.
At the heart of the story is a young man attempting to live according to deeply held convictions in a world where those convictions may not always seem common. Taylor chooses to save sex for marriage and works to encourage the people around him, even as he struggles with questions about his own identity and place in the world. His journey combines sincere emotional conflict with moments of humor, giving readers a personal look at the pressures that can shape adolescence.
Channell uses the setting of high school football to explore broader questions about character, commitment, relationships, and spiritual growth. As Taylor prepares for one of the biggest games of his young life, he must also confront what it means to be a friend, teammate, boyfriend, son, and modern Christian.
The novel is designed for young adult readers as well as parents, educators, coaches, youth leaders, and readers interested in faith-centered coming-of-age fiction. Through Taylor’s experiences, the story invites readers to consider how personal beliefs can influence everyday decisions, relationships, and the difficult process of discovering one’s identity.
Douglas Jackson Channell approaches Taylor’s story through the familiar pressures of school, sports, family, romance, and faith. Rather than separating those parts of teenage life, GeorgeAnn High School: Girls, Football and Jesus brings them together in one character’s effort to understand himself during a defining period.
For readers seeking a story that combines high school football, young love, humor, personal conviction, and Christian themes, Taylor Jackson’s journey offers a thoughtful exploration of growing up while trying to remain faithful to one’s values.
