Send us Fan MailChapter Two: Before KaneJim “Killer” Kane did not create toughness in Sam Fischer from nothing.Long before Sam arrived at Mount Michael, life on his family’s ranch in the Nebraska Sandhills had already taught him the basic rules: finish the job, keep your word and do not stop simply because you are tired or uncomfortable. His parents—especially his father—poured the foundation. Kane would later reinforce it until those lessons became inseparable from the man Sam became.In Chapter Two of Killer Kane, Sam leaves the ranch for Mount Michael Benedictine High School, a Catholic boarding school 310 miles from home. It is a world of monks, schedules, homesickness, hidden televisions and small rebellions—an institution that demands young boys adjust, endure and finish.Then there is Kane: physically imposing, emotionally inaccessible and unquestionably in command. He controls the practices, calls the plays, decides who belongs and reveals almost nothing about the man behind the coach.Before Sam can earn a place on Kane’s football field, he must first learn how to survive Kane’s world.Support the showThanks for listening!  SUBSCRIBE, Review, Rate, and Share.  Contact us: [email protected]     Let us know if you want a hat ($20), tee shirt ($30), coffee cup ($25), or window decal for your truck.
