Twenty-five years ago, a famous author traveled into the dark woods to write his greatest tale, The Wind Walker. Now, twenty-five years later, his son embarks on an adventure to finish the story his father never did.

When Georgia Tech came to Michigan in 1934, the Wolverines were forced to bench their best play, Willis Ward, because he was an African-American. The incident infuriated Ward’s best friend on the team, a future president by the name of Jerry Ford, who threatened to quit the team in response. The friendship that began in the Big House lasted all the way to the White House. This is the story of two schools, two friends, and a game that changed everything.
