Description
Many people have heroes in their lives and many have friends, but rarely does one's hero become a friend. When Hollywood screenwriter Darrel Campbell is commissioned to write a movie about his childhood sports hero, NBA legend Pistol Pete Maravich, the two men meet in California and become instant friends. The unlikely friendship bonds when they discover their fathers are the same age, were both decorated WWII heroes, coached them in sports, and they were the most powerful influence in their lives. Thirty years have passed since Pete Maravich's sudden death and the writer who co-authored Pete's only personal biography, HEIR TO A DREAM, has transposed rare tape recordings, personal notes and private letters he received from Pistol Pete and Coach Maravich to create an inspirational book for fans of all ages to enjoy.
