At the beginning of the story, Homer's father wanted Homer to work in the coal mines so that Homer could get stronger. He wanted Homer to play football like his older brother, but Homer was to small and weak. In Coalwood, West Virginia, (where the Hickams live), mining is really the only option that Homer has to get a job. His father is a miner and practically everyone he knows works at the mines. The only oppurtunity to leave Coalwood would be if he got a football scholarship to go play in college. Homer's older brother receives one of these coveted football scholarships as the story progresses.
