Quarterback with the Emerald Eyes is just another story about falling in love. There is the football jock, Todd Blyth, who is seemingly perfect. There is Blake Moore, the quiet geek whose religious family is keeping him close. By the oddest of chances, in the most untraditional of ways, they meet. As they grow together, they face the challenges of high school, coming out, and the beginning of college as gay youth, using each other for support through the best and the worst of it. The first in a quartet, Quarterback illustrates the beauty and the tragedy of young love.
