Summary:
"Fresh off of a gutsy, thrilling 2023 Super Bowl win for the
Kansas
City
Chiefs
, two inspiring stories that fit perfectly together -- a biography of superstar
quarterback
,
Patrick
Mahomes
, who brought the
Chiefs
to their first Super Bowl win in fifty years in 2020 as well as a second in 2023, along with the historical struggles and recent resurgence of the former “Paris of the Plains,”
Kansas
City
. There is nobody like
Patrick
Mahomes
. In three seasons, he has won a Super Bowl and competed in another, earned the titles of First Team All-Pro, NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and league MVP, and turned the
Kansas
City
Chiefs
from famed playoff failures into the most successful team in the NFL. With his unique and groundbreaking playing style, and winning personality both on and off the field,
Mahomes
has become a truly transcendent
quarterback
in a journey that mirrors and accentuates the rebirth of the
once
swingin’
cow
town
of
Kansas
City
, Missouri.
Once
an adventure-filled jazz epicenter and nightlife hub to rival New Orleans,
Kansas
City’s wild edges and captivating neighborhoods were snuffed out in pursuit of a suburbanized dream that largely left out people of color. It’s been a long road attempting to move past the scars of segregation and overcome the city’s flyover reputation, but
Kansas
City
is now poised to make a
comeback
, and no other person or team embodies that hope like
Patrick
Mahomes
and the
Kansas
City
Chiefs
.
Kansas
City
and
Mahomes
represent the story of the midwestern American
city
--
how
they grew,
how
they shaped the country,
how
the sport of football came to mean so much to them,
how
they failed, and
how
they are changing.
Kansas
City–area natives Mark Dent and Rustin Dodd have written for outlets such as The New York Times, The
Kansas
City
Star, and Texas Monthly, bringing their deep connection to the
city
, football expertise, and polished writing skills to create a serious book about a very entertaining subject -- the rebirth of a
city
, a team’s triumph, and
how
Patrick
Mahomes
, and the team he led, were exactly what was needed to bring
Kansas
City
back together again."--Publisher.
