Testimonials

"This book tells the story of coaching friendships, and how Bear Bryant and Buck Laslie came to be the winning coaches for Alabama that they were. Who knew that there was a role for football coaches in the training of naval recruits in World War II? That athletes who played football together at Alabama would become future coaches there, and at other Southern powerhouse football teams? The information here catches the flavor and challenges of the coaches' lives and provides a highly enjoyable read!" The mysterious philosopher
"Carey gives away a piece of herself with this book. It is not only a key bit of history, it is a story about her family.

Reading “A Tide of Dreams” was for me an investment in developing a better picture of the two generations before mine. This book is highly relatable. It puts together generational puzzle pieces.

You come away with a grip." Brenden McHugh
