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.
