Veteran sports journalist Larry Woody offers a heartfelt portrait of Roy Lee (Chucky) Mullins, a freshman at the University of Mississippi, who was tragically injured during an Ole Miss-Vanderbilt game in 1989 and died one year later. Set against a backdrop of poverty and racial hatred, Mullins' story is one of triumph over adversity--an inspiring chronicle of a young man whose death helped to change things. You don't have to be a football fan to appreciate this touching story about how times and people have changed in the Old South.--William P. Reed, Sports Illustrated. (Eggman Publishing, Inc.)

A book really comes alive when it's about someone you knew. Mr. Woody did a wonderful job in bringing out Chucky's finest qualities: courage, determination, friendliness, and his ability to overcome lifes obstacles. And, since this book was about more than just Chucky and tells a wonderful life-story, it adds meaning and another dimension to the great person I went to high school with. This book should be required reading for all high school students, especially athletes. Thumbs Up, Mr. Woody!
