In the traditions of Friday Nights Lamps and Outcasts United, One Goal explains to the inspiring storyline of the soccer team in a town bristling with racial stress that united Somali refugees and multigeneration Mainers in their search for status - and ultimately national - glory. When thousands of Somali refugees resettled in Lewiston, Maine, a struggling, overwhelmingly white town, longtime residents grew uneasy. Then your mayor published a letter asking Somalis to avoid approaching, which became a national storyline. While scandal threatened to subsume the town, its high school's soccer coach included Somali kids onto his team, and their interest began to recover old wounds. Taking listeners behind the tumult of the controversial team and onto the pitch where in fact the teammates vied to be status champions and achieved a vital sense of understanding, One Goal is a well-timed story about overcoming the prejudices that divide us.
