Man of Mystery Revealed

For many Ted Williams remains a mystery wrapped in an enigma. This well written and nicely crafted book does much to untangle the mystery, intrigue, and controversy that seems to orbit Ted Williams to this day.Williams, like Ruth, was both wonderfully flawed and wonderfully talented. This book reveals both with honesty and candor. It has been said that in learning about others we find ourselves. I found this to be the case here. For example, which is not specifically a book about and for adult children of alcoholics Ted Williams definitely was one (in his case, the son of a religious addict). If you find yourself on the recovery path you will find much to glean from here! I found myself in this book time and time again. Perhaps you will too. Now if only I could HIT like Williams... And on top of everything else it's a Baseball book with photos and stats galore! What more could you ask for? I adored this book and believe that you will too!
