My Long Journey Home: Discovering Life After the Game

By Richard A. Williams

Book Overview

A coming of age true story about adjusting to everyday life when the dream of playing professional baseball is cut short. Go on an intimate journey through the eyes of a former minor league baseball player and his discovery of self-worth, faith, and redemption.

Only after decades of struggling with crippling fear, anxiety, and broken relationships would Rick finally discover a greater power and purpose along his journey home.
