Publisher's Note The daughter of legendary NFL coach George Allen describes growing up in the competitive, testosterone-driven world of professional football and the perils of coming of age in a home dominated by three football-obsessed older brothers and an absent, driven father.
Industry Reviews "In her loving candid portrait, George Allen emerges as a vastly more interesting and sympathetic man than he ever was in his glory days....FIFTH QUARTER is a wonderful book." Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (10/12/2000)
