SPECIAL NOTICE: Book signing only – ticketed event.
Herschel Walker is widely regarded as one of football's greatest running backs.
He led the University of Georgia to victory in the Sugar Bowl on the way to
an NCAA Championship and he capped a sensational college career by earning the
1982 Heisman Trophy. Walker spent twelve years in the NFL, where he rushed for
more than eight thousand yards and scored sixty-one rushing touchdowns.
Despite the acclaim he won as a football legend, track star, Olympic competitor
and later a successful businessman, Walker realized that his life, at times,
was simply out of control. He often felt angry, self-destructive, and unable
to connect meaningfully with friends and family. Drawing on his deep faith,
he turned to professionals for help and was ultimately diagnosed with dissociative
identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder.
In Breaking Free, Walker tells his story -- from the joys and hardships of
childhood to his explosive impact on college football to his remarkable professional
career. His account testifies to the strength of the human spirit and its ability
to overcome any challenge.
Herschel Walker will sign copies of Breaking Free from 7-9 p.m. only. We expect
a very large crowd. In order to reserve a place in the signing line, you must
pre-purchase the book from A Cappella Books, either in the store (484C Moreland
Ave NE, Atlanta 30307), online at A Cappella Books or by phone (404-681-5123).
Due to time restrictions and Herschel's desire to meet as many fans as possible,
those with reservations will be limited to having no more than 3 copies of the
book signed. If time remains after he has signed books for all those who have
reserved copies, he will sign additional copies. He cannot sign any other items
besides copies of Breaking Free purchased from A Cappella Books.
