Summary of Mike Sielski's The Rise

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Gregg Downer had not watched TV or listened to radio reports for the past two days. He couldn’t bear to spend any time at the memorial site. He was fifty-seven now, and his face was weathered and wrinkled more than it had been when he and Kobe were together in their early thirties.

#2 Downer was in charge of the playdate between his daughter, Brynn, and one of her friends. As he was walking upstairs, his phone started buzzing with calls and texts. His friends and colleagues from Lower Merion High School, where Kobe had been a star player, didn’t hear from him often now that he was a star in Los Angeles.

#3 The Mellets’ four children, all under age eleven, were bored and had pent-up energy to burn off. So they took advantage of who they were and where they lived. The couple were Lower Merion alumni and members of the class of 1998.

#4 The impromptu shrine was spreading like kudzu, from the sidewalk in front of the school’s gymnasium entrance to the doors themselves, and reporters and camera crews were lingering there, waiting to see if they would be allowed inside the school.
