An eight year old boy, unknown to anyone, witnesses the assassination of his beloved father - a scientist studying space travel. The boy carries this mental misery for many months until he describes what he has seen to an ex-police inspector.

"The fire was lit at each tea break to boil a kettle with just enough extra fuel thrown on it to warm his hands - suffering from the damp and cold of a September morning. The fire started to collapse and die. Paul was tempted to throw on more wood to sit longer and allow his thoughts to wander over and away, attempting to escape from the reality of his life with all the troublesome complications in which he found himself. Instead, he lit another cigarette. Even this mental escape was difficult. The last six months of his life terrified and sickened him; to think of the future only added fuel to what seemed to him to be a veritable 'Dante's Inferno'..." Nothing is what it seems in this tale of love and betrayal, drugs gangs, murder.and police surveillance... and through it all runs the thread of fateful choices and the consequences of our actions.

"Basketball gave me a life; Parkinson's taught me how to live it." After 12 years of playing basketball at the highest professional level, Brian Grant could have been forgiven for thinking that the hardest part of his life was behind him, that he'd be able to kick back and enjoy the fruits of his considerable labors. But soon after his retirement from the NBA, Grant was diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson's disease, ushering in a challenge greater than any he'd faced before, as well as an opportunity to embrace what really matters. With esteemed basketball writer Ric Bucher, Grant shares his story in raw and candid fashion, as he takes readers to Sacramento, Portland, Miami, and beyond; to the airplane 30,000 feet in the air where he first came to understand the source of the tremors in his hand; and to the summit of Mount St. Helens alongside five others with PD, where he once again put himself to the test and defied expectations. In Rebound, Grant shares his remarkable life before, during, and after those NBA years with no shortage of compassion and wit.
