Resumen del Editor

"Narrator Landon Woodson delivers the story perfectly, bringing out its range of emotions...Woodson offers the right inflections at the right times for the author's words - the emotional swings range from grief at the loss of a loved one to the pride Rosser feels in his accomplishments on the field." (AudioFile)

An inspiring memoir of defying the odds from Kareem Rosser, captain of the first all-Black squad to win the National Interscholastic Polo championship. "Crossing the Line will not just leave you with hope, but also ideas on how to make that hope transferable” (New York Times best-selling author Wes Moore).

Born and raised in West Philadelphia, Kareem thought he and his siblings would always be stuck in “The Bottom”, a community and neighborhood devastated by poverty and violence. Riding their bicycles through Philly’s Fairmount Park, Kareem’s brothers discover a barn full of horses. Noticing the brothers’ fascination with her misfit animals, Lezlie Hiner, founder of The Work to Ride stables, offers them their escape: an after school job in exchange for riding lessons.

What starts as an accidental discovery turns into a love for horseback riding that leads the Rossers to discovering their passion for polo. Pursuing the sport with determination and discipline, Kareem earns his place among the typically exclusive players in college, becoming part of the first all-Black national interscholastic polo championship team - all while struggling to keep his family together.

Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever is the story of bonds of brotherhood, family loyalty, the transformative connection between man and horse, and forging a better future that comes from overcoming impossible odds.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

"A marvelous addition to the literature of inspirational sports stories." (Booklist)

"This remarkable and inspiring story shines." (Publishers Weekly)

Inspiring true story

Thank you for sharing your story! I am so sorry for all the losses you endured. What an incredible journey of overcoming so many barriers in life. Listening to your perspective shift from the beginning of the book to the end felt almost like it was too personal to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and learning a new perspective of life.

ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES!

This is one of the absolute best books I have read/listen to in a long time. Kareem tells a fantastic story that makes you feel like you’re part of it all!

It takes something special to tell your story at the age of 27 the way he did.

Perseverance, determination, and a make it or break it mentality!

Inspiring!!

As someone who works with horses in almost all capacities. As well as with youth from all walks of life! This was a great book! Life is not always easy and sometime just seemingly unfair. But there is more if we take our opportunities and run with them! (sounds easy but definitely not as easy as it sounds.) Thank you for sharing your story!

Simply wonderful

A terrific read. This book was not just entertaining. It was inspiring, heartbreaking and beautiful. So glad that Kareem chose to narrate his own story. I would love to meet him one day.
