I didn’t expect a stranger in that bar to flip my world upside down. As the center forward for the San Antonio Slingers, Liam is at a crossroads in his career. Feeling his own kind of brokenness, he has every right to be angry at the world. But with me, he’s the opposite. Liam helps me find the courage to explore and try new things. To stand up for myself.
