520    "The heartbreaking, timeless, and redemptive story of the 
       transformative friendship binding a fallen-from-grace NFL 
       player and a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist who 
       meet on the streets of New Orleans, offering a rare 
       glimpse into the precarious world of homelessness and the 
       lingering impact of systemic racism and poverty on the 
       lives of NOLA's citizens"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    In 1990, while covering a story about homelessness, 
       Jackson encountered a drug addict sleeping under a bridge.
       The homeless stranger looked the photojournalist in the 
       eye and said, "You ought to do a story about me." When 
       Jackson asked why, he was stunned by the answer. "Because 
       I've played in three Super Bowls." Jackie Wallace was a 
       former NFL star who rose to the pinnacle of fame and 
       fortune, only to crash and lose it all. Here Jackson 
       describes the details of how Wallace spiraled into 
       addiction and homelessness-- and of the thirty-year 
       relationship the two developed.  -- adapted from jacket
