Rebound is an inspiring comeback story of Karl Johnson, who found
himself living on the streets after serving eleven years in state
prison for being one of the best runners of cocaine in Los Angeles.
He is number nine is the line-up of sixteen kids, and his family is
marked by greatness. His brother was Dennis Johnson of the Boston
Celtics - five-time NBA all-star and Hall of Famer. At its core,
Rebound explores the mystery of the human spirit - why do some of
us soar and others do not given the same set of circumstances? And
in Karl's case - someone who consistently chose the wrong path -
why does he finally find himself in the position to soar? Karl's
story is shocking at times, but his determination to find the right
path finds readers cheering for him. Rebound breaks from the
familiar storyline of a homeless man who becomes a millionaire or
spiritual leader. This is simply a story about someone who found a
"normal" life after years of crime, violence, and drugs. There is
something big about the everydayness of Karl's story - he left the
narcissistic world of drugs behind, finding joy in getting up every
day and going to work. Rebound reveals the power of a city that
cares. His chance arrival in Central California's Fresno questions
whether it was chance at all. Karl finally discovered friendships
that were not defined by prison walls or the drug world. The
special bonds he formed give us faith in human compassion. Through
Karl's storytelling, we learn that no matter how many times we find
ourselves off course, we will always find ourselves back on the
road we are meant to travel. There is magic in Karl's story, as he
teaches us that it is never too late to be on the rebound of our
lives.
