A Remarkable Memoir of Faith, Perseverance, and Breaking Barriers
In The First Jew at Notre Dame, debut author Buckeye Epstein shares the extraordinary life story of his father, Frank B. Epstein—the first Jewish monogram player in Notre Dame football history. Through compelling storytelling and heartfelt recollections, this inspiring memoir offers a rare glimpse into a man whose legacy extended far beyond the gridiron.
Frank’s life was a testament to the power of resilience and character.

Despite facing daunting health challenges, his indomitable spirit never wavered.
Each chapter begins with thought-provoking quotes that enrich the narrative, drawing readers into Frank’s adventures—from post-WWII high school days to thrilling moments on the football field under legendary coach Frank Leahy. Along the way, readers will uncover untold stories of grit, determination, and joy.
