Non-Fiction Memoir
With the news of Tiki Barber s impending retirement, the
timing couldn t be better for a memoir that explores his
colossal achievements to date and considers where he might
go from here. In Tiki, Barber talks about his childhood, growing up
alongside his identical twin brother Ronde (now a cornerback
for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) with a strong mother and
absent father. He recounts his extraordinary career to date
signing to the Giants in 1997 where he quickly progressed
from a third-down, change of pace back to become a standout
starting running back, overcoming injuries and working
through his flaws with the help of his coaches; his stellar
2005 season, where he finished the year with 2,390 total
yards (the second highest total in history); and the
controversies that have marred the Giants 2006 season,
including the surprise announcement of his retirement at the
age of 31. Tiki also looks at the challenges that lie ahead,
personally and professionally. Tiki is a riveting, inspiring read for football fans who
want to know what really goes on behind the scenes and in
the locker room, and for anyone looking to glean inspiration
to follow their dream.
