When Heroes Fall: A Son's Journey Through His Father's Decline
ZJ's world revolves around his father - NFL superstar Zachariah "44" Johnson. But something is changing. His dad's hands shake. He forgets things. His headaches are unbearable. Through ZJ's innocent eyes, we witness the gradual unraveling of a family as his father suffers from what we now recognize as CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) - though in the late 1990s setting of this story, it remains a mysterious, unnamed condition. What happens when the hero who carried you on his shoulders can barely remember your name? What remains of a family when the center begins to crumble? This is ZJ's story of love, loss, and finding new ways to connect when everything familiar slips away.
