Against All Odds

An astonishing tale of resilience in the face of catastrophe

Against All Odds is a harrowing and inspirational tale of pain, tragedy, heartbreak, resilience, grit, perseverance, faith, and spirit. It follows the author, Anthony Razzano, as he experiences and overcomes the brutal realities of a catastrophic burn injury he suffered when he was only twelve years old.

With over 87% of his body covered in third-degree burns and his doctors offering a grim prognosis, Anthony demonstrates the true meanings of dedication and commitment. Overcoming countless painful procedures and seemingly endless rehabilitation and physical therapy, he goes on to become the starting outside linebacker of the New Castle Red Hurricanes under legendary coach Lindy Lauro.

A beacon of hope to the millions of children around the United States suffering from injuries, both major and minor, and waiting for the day they can get back on the field, Razzano’s story is one that will resonate with every child, athlete, parent, and person who has endured life’s ordinary and exceptional hardships with grace and toughness.
