"The painfully honest and personal story of one of baseball's most intriguing players. For years, Barry Zito lived as a walking personification of the American Dream. Professionally, he was at the top of his game as a Cy Young Award winner in Major League Baseball. Financially, he signed the richest contract that had ever been given to a pitcher -- seven years for $126 million. Socially, he was one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood. Yet for years Barry Zito was miserable. Despite achieving the kind of fame and fortune that most people only dream about, he was plagued by both internal forces and external circumstances that robbed him of any sense of peace -- until he finally found a purpose worth living for."--
