In this poignant memoir, Claudia Williams, the last surviving
child of legendary Boston Red Sox great and Hall of Famer Ted
Williams, tells her father's story, including never-before-told
anecdotes about his life on and off the field that reveal the flesh
and blood man behind "The Kid."
Born after her father retired from baseball, Claudia Williams
grew up with little idea that her dad was one of the most revered
sports figures of all time--until she finally saw him in uniform at
Fenway Park, receiving the adulation of thousands of fans.
Now in this moving and surprising memoir, Claudia offers an
unexpected look at Ted Williams, viewed from a unique and fresh
perspective. Here she recalls her childhood growing up with a
baseball legend after his heyday, capturing their loving yet
tumultuous relationship, and shares the beloved stories he passed
on to her. Reconciling his talent on the field with his life off of
it, Claudia reveals the myriad passions--including baseball and
much more--which shaped who he was. She also speaks candidly for
the first time about his controversial choice to be cryogenically
preserved after his death.
Complete with sixteen pages of never-before-seen color
photographs, told with sincerity and heart, Claudia William's
poignant memoir is a love letter to New England and one of its
greatest sons--Ted Williams--the champion, the man, and most
importantly, the father.
