In Tuscaloosa, Alabama the world revolves around one thing:
The University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide. But on April 27, 2011
everything changed. An EF4 tornado ripped through the small college
town and changed it forever.
Carson Tinker, the starting long snapper for the 2011 and 2012
National Champion Crimson Tide, was among those forever changed by
the events of April 27. Tinker lost his girlfriend Ashley Harrison
to the storm, but not his faith.
In the midst of unfathomable destruction, Tinker saw love,
companionship, perseverance, and triumph in a community torn apart
by a natural disaster. Where everyone else saw tragedy, Carson
Tinker saw blessing. Following the storm, the Crimson Tide suited
up to face their most challenging season to date. Tinker’s personal
story guides readers through what cannot be described any other way
than a season to remember.
