Nov 10, 3-5 pm – Author’s Spotlight on Leroy Collins “Running Back, from the Wheelchair to the NFL”

The true story of faith and triumph of one man's journey from his childhood wheelchair to the NFL.

This true story follows a young man’s journey as he battles back from injuries sustained in a tragic automobile accident.  From the vantage point of his wheelchair an NFL game on TV inspires him to dream the impossible.  As he recovers, he sets his sights on playing football in the NFL.  This story takes you into his mind and heart as he makes decisions that take him off track from reaching his dream.  He develops some bad habits that can not only destroy a career but can potentially take his life. But his faith along with the love from his family put his life back on course making his unlikely dream a miraculous reality.
