Dwyane Wade, the eight-time All-Star for the Miami Heat,
has miraculously defied the odds throughout his career and his life. In A
Father First (William Morrow, $26.99), we meet the coaches, mentors,
and teammates who played pivotal roles in Dwyane's stunning basketball
career--from his early days shooting hoops on the neighborhood courts in
Chicago, to his rising stardom at Marquette University in Milwaukee, to his
emergence as an unheralded draft pick by the Miami Heat. This book is a
revealing, personal story of one of America's top athletes, but it is also a
call to action--from a man who had to fight to be in his children's lives--that
will show mothers and fathers how to step up and be parents themselves. Signing Guidelines: Mr. Wade will
only sign books, absolutely no memorabilia allowed. One book per person,
or as a family. He won’t have time for personalizations or posed photos. Photos
must be taken in passing, by giving your camera to the store’s designated
photographer who will snap a photo of you with Mr. Wade while he signs your
book.
We are no longer acceping internet orders. If you buy a book online, you will NOT recieve a voucher. Please call one of our stores -- Coral Gables or Miami Beach -- to purchase a voucher.
