There is no doubt that the focus on the Matthew Mara story would be a motivational book that attempts to help people in difficult positions to overcome them and see the positives in life.
It would start with Matthews on top of the world in University, breaking records and winning championships. Then it would turn into a darker story where the tragic events that cut his all-star University career short when a distracted driver was attempting to eat a bowl of cereal while driving his Land Rover, carelessly struck the car Matthew was driving causing life-threatening injuries and years of painful recovery. Then showing the heart and determination that Matthew had to recover and turn to a life of faith by joining the priesthood. Finally the uplifting adventure of trying to resurrect his football career and scoring his first touchdown after 4 years away from the sport.
I think the book would do really well on the motivational talk show circuit. Who doesn't love a come-back story?
