Goodbye, Papa Golf

Discover the Human Spirit's Power to Soar in This Award-Winning Memoir

Winner of the 2024 Joseph C. Lincoln Memorial Award for Literature and a surprise #1 New Releases Top Seller, this gripping true story of resilience, transformation, and triumph is more than a book about flying or running. It's an adventure that resonates with anyone who has faced life's greatest challenges.

At just 14 years old, a boy learns to command the skies as a glider pilot, eventually becoming a top sailplane racer, all while trying to emerge from the shadow of his All-American father. But his life takes a shattering turn after a violent crash on the national stage. In the aftermath, he confronts failure, redefines success, and embarks on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery becoming a Boston Marathon veteran, a husband, a father, and, ultimately, a man transformed.

This emotionally charged narrative transcends the worlds of aviation and distance running to tell a universal story of human perseverance. Readers will:

• Be inspired by the tenacity it takes to rebuild after life's setbacks.
• Feel empowered to chase their dreams, no matter the odds.
• Gain insights into the courage it takes to confront fear, loss, and self-doubt.

Just like Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air captivated readers who had never climbed a mountain, much less Mt. Everest, Goodbye, Papa Golf invites you into the rarefied worlds of glider racing and marathon running but its true brilliance lies in its universal themes of resilience, love, and redemption.
