Inspired by interviews with real-life cancer survivors and insider sports experience, this unforgettable story shows a brave boy who learns what it truly means to be unstoppable.

About the Author

---

As a boy, Tim Green had two dreams: playing in the NFL and becoming a best-selling author. Both of those dreams have come true. After studying writing in college, where he was an All-American football player, Tim was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons, where he was a top defensive player for eight years. While Tim played in the NFL, he also studied law and began his writing career. When he retired from football in 1994, Tim had already published his first book and become a lawyer. As well as those two jobs, he began to work as a TV broadcaster for "FOX NFL Sunday" and other shows like "Battlebots, Good Morning America, Court TV, A Current Affair" and, most recently, "Find My Family."
