Hero's Journey tells the stories of two small-town sports heroes; one never failed, the other became a homeless alcoholic before completing his hero's journey. The book (published by Midsummer Books) is now available as an audio book, as well as a paperback and eBook.
On one level the book is a detective story about John Ritter, the best basketball player from Goshen, Indiana, my hometown. He graduated from Goshen High School in 1969, but still holds all the scoring records in basketball and some in baseball. He was a star for the IU Hoosiers and captain of Bob Knight's first Final Four team in 1973. He was drafted by the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers, and then coached at Ole Miss. He became an executive at Eli Lilly, and then John disappeared. I set out to discover what happened to John and why. What I discovered is heart-breaking, but ultimately hopeful and uplifting.
The book is also an examination and critique of how our "heroes" are treated, when they thrill us, and mistreated, when they disappoint us.
