In the summer of his seventeenth year, Samuel Sooleymon is given the opportunity of a lifetime: a trip to the United States to compete in a showcase basketball tournament with his South Sudanese teammates. He has never traveled outside of his home, nor has he ever flown. The chance to be scouted by thousands of college coaches is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Samuel is a phenomenal athlete, possessing incredible agility, quickness, and a remarkable vertical leap. The rest of his game, however, needs improvement, and the American coaches are not impressed.Samuel receives devastating news from home during the tournament: South Sudan is engulfed in civil war, and rebel forces have ransacked his village. His father is no longer alive, his sister has gone missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are living in a refugee camp.

Samuel longs to return there, but it's just not possible. The coach of North Carolina Central gives him a scholarship partly out of sympathy. Samuel relocates to Durham, enrolls in classes, joins the band, and plans to forego his freshmen year. There is plenty of more experienced talent, and he isn't needed right away.
Yet Samuel possesses a quality that no other player possesses: a fierce desire to excel in order to get his family to America. He works hard on his game, shooting baskets alone in the gym every morning at midnight, and then he's dominating everyone in the competition. Sooley, as he is known, is called off the bench as the Central squad loses and suffers injury after injury. And this is where the legend starts.
But how far will Sooley be able to drive his team? Will he be able to rescue his family if he succeeds?
Sooley is a gripping and moving novel that shows off John Grisham's unrivaled storytelling abilities in a whole new way. This is Grisham at his very best.
