His grandfather, father, and older brother had created their own sports legends in a declining city; he was the last, best My First Bilingual Book - Sports download epub hope for a career beyond the shuttered mills and factories. Herren was heavily recruited by major universities, chosen as a McDonald's All-American, featured in a "Sports Illustrated" cover story, and at just seventeen years old became the central figure in "Fall River Dreams, " an acclaimed book about the 1994 Durfee team's quest for the state championship.

Twenty years later, Chris Herren was married to his high-school sweetheart, the father of three young children, and a heroin junkie.

Powerful, honest, and dramatic, "Basketball Junkie "is a remarkable memoir, harrowing in its descent, and heartening in its return."
