Mike Lupica reads from True Legend at The Wellesley Free Library

09/07/2012 4:00 pm

#1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica makes his return to the basketball court!

Join Mike at the Wellesley Free Library where he introduces and signs his new book. In this age of street agents promising riches to kids barely out of elementary school and college programs being taken downbecause of recruiting violations, True Legend is a resonant and inspiring novel in the Lupica tradition.

Book signing instructions: To enter the signing line, attendees must purchase a copy of Mike Lupica's new book, True Legend, from Wellesley Books. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

About the Book

There's a reason teammates call him "True." Because for basketball phenom Drew Robinson, there is nothing more true than his talent on the court. It's the kind that comes along once in a generation and is loaded with perks--and with problems. Before long, True buys in to his own hype, much to the chagrin of his mother, who wants to keep her boy's head grounded and suddenly trouble has a way of finding him. That is, until a washed-up former playground legend steps back onto the court and takes True under his wing.

About the Author

Mike Lupica is one of the most prominent sports writers in America. His longevity at the top of his field is based on his experience and insider's knowledge, coupled with a provocative presentation that takes an uncompromising look at the tumultuous world of professional sports. Today he is a syndicated columnist for the New York Daily News, which includes his popular "Shooting from the Lip" column, which appears every Sunday.
