Coles My Long Journey Home: Discovering Life After the Game at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A coming of age true story about adjusting to everyday life when the dream of playing professional baseball is cut short. Go on an intimate journey through the eyes of a former minor league baseball player and his discovery of self-worth, faith, and redemption.
As far as Rick Williams was concerned, being drafted out of high school by the Atlanta Braves was the realization of his dream and the solution to every problem. He could leave behind his turbulent home life in the California High Desert and focus on the game he grew up loving.
But when baseball was ripped away, he could never have prepared for the massive void it left in his life and the pain that would define him and his future. No matter how hard he tried drugs, partying, womanizing, or Hollywood life, nothing could fill the emptiness inside.
Only after decades of struggling with crippling fear, anxiety, and broken relationships would Rick finally discover a greater power and purpose along his journey home.
This inspiring story will speak to anyone who has struggled with:
THE END OF A SPORTS CAREER
BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS
SELF-WORTH
FAILURE
FEAR AND ANXIETY
ACCEPTANCE
