Gripping first-person account, former professional, Olympic & World Champion ice hockey player Eric LeMarque recounts a harrowing tale of his world record survival—of eight days in the frozen wilderness, of losing his legs to frostbite, and coming face-to-face with death. Erics against-all-odds survival was no surprise to those who knew him. He would earn the name 'The Miracle Man' by stunned National Guard Black Hawk Chopper rescuers.
When his playing days were over, Eric felt adrift. Everything changed when he first tasted the rush of hard drugs—the highly addictive crystal meth—which filled a void left by hockey and fame. A riveting adventure, a brutal confessional, here Eric tells his remarkable story—his climb to success, his long and painful fall, and his ordeal in the wilderness. In the end, a man whose life had been based on athleticism would lose both his legs, relearn to walk—even snowboard and play ice hockey—with prosthetics, and finally confront the ultimate test of survival: what it takes to find your way out of darkness, and—after so many lies—to tell truth and begin to live again.
