High and Out

High and Out

An intimate look behind the scenes and into the life of a professional athlete: Jason Wagner, an Arizona native, has worked his whole entire life to have a chance at getting his name etched on the Stanley Cup. Being a hockey player is all he knows, it's all he's ever wanted to be, and for as long as he can remember, it's all he's been. Fast-forward to now: He's almost thirty, has just finished his last season on his NHL contract, and has yet to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup. His fear of being forced into an earlier than anticipated retirement briefly subsides when he signs a two-year, multimillion-dollar deal with a real contender. The events that follow take him in different directions that ultimately put him onto a new path of discovering who he really is and what he actually wants to be in life. It's a tough and gritty love story about change, family, and forgiveness. "It's not really a novel... it's more like a fictional biography and feels more like a movie or a TV show than a novel you'd read in school. It's really good." -Kevin Weber "Five Stars... Weber's writing is both sensitive and courageous, refusing to shy away from the harsh realities. It is a must-read for sports enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted tale of personal struggle and triumph." -Literary Titan "A gripping tale of professional hockey, addiction, and the pursuit of dreams unfolds in High and Out, a compelling sports fiction novel by Justin Weber." -Book Nerdection Justin Weber is an American Husband, Dad, Son, Brother, Private Pilot, and Award-Winning Writer.
