520    "All American at Ohio State and All Pro linebacker for the
       Pittsburgh Steelers, Ryan Shazier has learned to live his 
       best life, and come to terms with the game he loves and 
       has given him so much. And as Ryan has also learned: 
       success is no longer measured by tackles or sacks; it is 
       measured by purpose and strength. WALKING MIRACLE is the 
       story of this new definition of success. The narrative 
       follows the arc from December 4, 2017 when Shazier was 
       injured playing the Cincinnati Bengals, to his retirement.
       For three years, Shazier doggedly pursued a return to 
       professional football. He took small wins as first downs 
       on the drive to return to the field, moving his toes, 
       walking, dancing at his wedding, and ultimately running 
       and returning to the team. What Shazier didn't realize is 
       that along the way, he was preparing himself for another 
       purpose. The journey was preparing him not for a renewed 
       life as a middle linebacker, but a renewed life as a 
       father and husband, philanthropist, and football analyst. 
       Here we see Shazier overcome childhood alopecia, which 
       caused a great deal of emotional pain, and scoliosis, 
       which nearly robbed him of his dreams of playing college 
       and professional football. We gain insights into legendary
       coaches Urban Meyer and Mike Tomlin. And we see him star 
       on the field; Shazier was one of the best defensive 
       players in Steeler history-a history full of defensive 
       stars. WALKING MIRACLE-the message on a bracelet given to 
       him by his Godmother-is the story of Ryan's comeback, but 
       it's also a book of life's lessons, challenges, and so 
       much more"--|cProvided by publisher.
