Amy Bass, author of "One Goal: A Coach, a team, and the Game That Brought a Divided Town Together". The town is Lewiston, Maine, and the game is high school soccer. In the early 2000s, Lewiston became home to thousands of refugees from Somalia and the integration was not without friction. The story is about the boys soccer team at Lewiston High School in 2015, which was made up of a majority of Somali students, and their quest for a state title.
