Book SynopsisTrade Review“This masterpiece of dogged and loving reporting will astonish you and touch your heart. The struggles and quest for redemption of football star Jackie Wallace make for a fall-from-grace tale that’s both unsettling and uplifting.” -- Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs, Leonardo da Vinci, and Benjamin Franklin: An American Life"From football victories to enduring injuries, valiant recovery to lost years, Jackson pieces together Wallace's story with care. Bound by faith, his biography is a painstaking portal into the human condition and how we care for one another." -- Booklist"Consistently complex and absorbing...A rich and rewarding narrative about the possibilities—and the challenges—of redemption." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“You Ought to Do a Story About Me is elegant in its detail, abundant in its humanity, and poignant in its truth. Jackie is real—and stunningly realized in these pages—and so his path zigs and zags, driven throughout by the unbroken will of the many loving—and also flawed—people orbiting around him. Ted Jackson, the author, is among this constellation, and in his hands the story gracefully encompasses all the messy nuances of sports, fame, romance, male friendship, and the competing angels and demons that reside in us all.” -- Jeff Hobbs, author of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace“When Jackie Wallace was my teammate with the 1970s Baltimore Colts, I knew him as a man of great talent and great heart. Now thanks to the powerful work of Ted Jackson, we see every haunting detail as Jackie struggled to navigate the decades that followed. It is a story defined by both the brutality of drug addiction and the beauty of friendship, and this book allows us to explore our own thoughts about each.” -- Bert Jones, former NFL quarterback“This book will melt your heart. The story of Jackie Wallace is an unforgettable tale of hope, grace, and the miracle of the human spirit. Ted Jackson writes with searing honesty and deep love for a troubled man who started as his subject and became his lifelong friend.” -- Jonathan Eig, bestselling author of Ali: A Life and Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig"Gut-wrenching yet hopeful, Jackson’s work is a bracing look at the struggles and triumphs on the road to redemption." -- Publishers Weekly
