Morning's Gray Light" is the story of George Abbott, a coaching legend at Longstreet High School who was unbeatable on the football field but couldn't save his beloved wife from cancer. It's Arlington, Virginia, in the summer of 1970. George has reluctantly agreed to emerge from his seclusion to coach Longstreet's freshman football team but he can't escape being caught in the bitter social crossfire of Vietnam, anti-war protests, civil rights, and a growing demand from young women to break free from their traditional, male-approved roles. No one tests George's core beliefs harder than an outspoken war widow and her son. But she also opens an unexpected door to living again.
