Earl Goldmann's poignant and moving memoir is the story of a young boy growing up in Tillamook, Oregon, and the terrible injury inflicted by the man who should have been his mentor.

While playing basketball at Oregon State University, he is severely injured in a horrific car wreck and is forced to return to his hometown to recover. With his athletic scholarships gone, can he realize the life he always dreamed about? Bounce Back is the true story of one man's journey to survive, forgive and recapture his fractured future."
