(Harold Morrow) 1898 1987 Sherman, Harold Morrow Morrow, Edward J. 29017920 Over the Line Produced by Al Haines "Over the Line" by Harold M. Sherman is a novel written in the late 1920s. It primarily revolves around the character of Judd Billings, a high school student who struggles with self-doubt and the weight of living up to the legacy of his older brother Bob, a celebrated athlete. The story explores themes of personal growth, courage, and overcoming mental barriers as Judd embarks on a journey to reclaim his confidence and find his place in both sports and life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Judd during a visit to his brother Bob in the city, where tensions arise around his reluctance to return to school and participate in sports. Judd struggles with feelings of inadequacy and the pressure of familial expectations, particularly from his brother, who is a celebrated athlete. Bob attempts to motivate Judd through encouragement and a unique "contract" that outlines expectations for pushing past his fears and hesitations. As Judd trains for football, the story sets the stage for his transformation, highlighting moments of vulnerability and strength as he overcomes not only the physical challenges of the sport but also the psychological obstacles that hold him back.
