Ever since his astonishing victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, John Daly, known affectionately on the PGA Tour as "Big 'Un," has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger personality, and "Grip It and Rip It" approach to golf -- and to life. Long John, usually seen with a Marlboro Light dangling from his lip, is the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of professional golf. "The only rules I follow," JD likes to say, "are the Rules of Golf." Daly's play-it-as-it-lays approach drives My Life in and out of the Rough, a thrillingly -- and sometimes shockingly -- candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling assorted addictions (alcohol, gambling, chocolate, sex), his weight, and, perhaps worst of all, divorce lawyers. (He's been married four times.) A two-time major winner before he turned thirty, John Daly is one of the most popular athletes in the world. Taking readers with him off the fairway and into his $1.5-million motor home for a rollicking ride through his life -- an ever-churning world of booze, burgers, casinos, country music, and breathtaking moonshots -- Daly reveals how a down-home Everyman from Arkansas managed to rise to the peak of the golf world, escape from the depths of abject depression, and, finally, take control of his life. Well, sort of.
Sam lives a happy life with a family that loves her. Her mother and father, Curie, and Joe, own a lovely farm that houses Sam's brothers, Timothy and Jake, and her best friend, a female pet chicken called Matthew. Life is moving along just as it normally does, going to school, hanging out with friends, and coming home, until Jake suddenly and shockingly goes missing. The family is naturally rattled, but none of them have any idea just how serious Jake's disappearance will prove until Sam and her friends make a discovery in the woods. What are these strange lights appearing in Kansas? What are the Primes? And how on Earth does being a vegan play into any of it? In Blood of the Last True Heart, John Prince tells a dark tale that encourages a will for compassion towards the nature we find around us.
