Paperback. Condizione: Good. Rebound is an inspiring comeback story of Karl Johnson, who found himself living on the streets after serving eleven years in state prison for being one of the best runners of cocaine in Los Angeles. He is number nine is the line-up of sixteen kids, and his family is marked by greatness. His brother was Dennis Johnson of the Boston Celtics - five-time NBA all-star and Hall of Famer. At its core, Rebound explores the mystery of the human spirit - why do some of us soar and others do not given the same set of circumstances? And in Karl's case - someone who consistently chose the wrong path - why does he finally find himself in the position to soar? Karl's story is shocking at times, but his determination to find the right path finds readers cheering for him. Rebound breaks from the familiar storyline of a homeless man who becomes a millionaire or spiritual leader. This is simply a story about someone who found a normal life after years of crime, violence, and drugs. There is something big about the everydayness of Karl's story - he left the narcissistic world of drugs behind, finding joy in getting up every day and going to work. Rebound reveals the power of a city that cares. His chance arrival in Central California's Fresno questions whether it was chance at all. Karl finally discovered friendships that were not defined by prison walls or the drug world. The special bonds he formed give us faith in human compassion. Through Karl's storytelling, we learn that no matter how many times we find ourselves off course, we will always find ourselves back on the road we are meant to travel. There is magic in Karl's story, as he teaches us that it is never too late to be on the rebound of our lives.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. As a Private Detective, James Don't Call Me Corky Corcoran has a lot in common with his adoptive hometown of Detroit. The past is brighter than the present; he's going nowhere fast, and he's running out of money. But things change when he starts to investigate Jonathan Wade's death. A childhood friend and longtime rival, Wade was the black sheep son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families who called the exclusive suburb of Grosse Pointe home. Each clue in the case dredges up yet another memory Corcoran has spent the past decade trying to drink into oblivion. It takes him back to Grosse Pointe, where he hasn't set foot for the past ten years, ever since Sara Jensen's death sent his career into a tailspin. Grosse Pointe looks the same, its quiet streets still lined with majestic homes, but behind those facades things aren't as they seem. Some of the best and the brightest families are hiding some secrets so dark, so destructive, that they are willing to do anything to keep them hidden. They try to buy him off, scare him off, and even try to kill him to keep Corcoran from discovering the truth, but as time goes by he realizes he can't quit because this case has become his road to justice, redemption, and even love. He'll solve this case, or die trying.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Rick Pitino is a basketball icon: the only coach in college history to lead three different schools to the Final Four, the winner of the 1996 NCA championship, the owner of a sparkling career record, a bestselling author, and a lock for the College Basketball Hall of Fame. Yet Pitino's journey has not been without life-altering adversity: He's experienced profound personal and professional losses. In 2001, after three losing seasons as coach and president of the Boston Celtics, Pitino resigned, walking away from the $23 million left in his contract. And while recovering from the only breakdown in his extraordinary basketball career, Pitinowho had previously suffered the devastating loss of his infant son, Danielendured additional tragedies: His brother-in-law and best friend Billy Minardi, a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, perished in the World Trade Center attacks of 9/11, less than a year after another brother-in-law had been fatally struck by a taxi. Pitino writes, From that point on, my life changed forever. Nothing will ever be the same.This realization gave Pitino a new perspective. With it, the innovative leader felt the freedom to act even more dynamically than he ever had in the past. Returning to college basketball, he has rebuilt and revitalized the storied program at Louisville, guiding the Cardinals to a history-making Final Four appearance in 2005 that stamped him the only coach in history to take three schools that far. And in 2008, he rallied an injury-plagued Louisville team from a disappointing start and led it to the Elite Eight, setting the stage for greater success to come.The failures and tragedies he recounts make this book unique. More than just a recitation ofwhat works and why, it's about how to succeed after you've failed; how to pick yourself up after being knocked down; and how to refra.…
