About the Author
Scott and Joan Bolzan married in 1984 and have two grown children. Scott is a former NFL football player and pilot, and he is currently the founder and CEO of Legendary Jets in Tempe, Arizona. Joan is a registered nurse and marketing executive. Since Scotts traumatic brain injury in 2008, the Bolzans have become sought-after motivational speakers, sharing their story and life lessons with audiences nationwide.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism I decided to write this review after reading the only one so far--which the reader submitted and didn't even read the book! I am amazed that Amazon would even accept it, so much reference to "Dr. Phil" I think it was written by a staff member. Like this "reviewer," I saw this man's appearance on Dr. Phil and didn't hear the whole story so got the book to fill me in. Unlike the 1st reviewer, I did indeed read the book.
Scott Bolzan, an entrepreneur and former NFL football player, slipped and fell one day in the bathroom in his office building and his life would never be the same. He lost his memory of everything that happened in his lifetime and apparently, will never get it back.It was an enjoyable read, I finished it in a little less than two days, but some ends are left "loose." A story like this can't have a happy ending, but I think the book should have been published after he and his ever-loving wife Joan renewed their wedding vows. They didn't do it as planned since Scott had his accident and Joan wanted to make sure he really wanted to remarry her, and they postponed it as he was just getting to know her again. Happily, they do fall in love again so it would have been wonderful to repeat their vows since Scott can't remember any of it the first time around. I can only hope they do it sometime in the near future. Also, I got the Kindle edition because I wanted to read it right away and was disappointed there were no pictures. I caught a glimpse of him on "Dr. Phil," but Scott's family was described with such colorful detail it would have been nice to see them so I could picture them in my mind when reading about them. I feel like they were "deleted" as well! I felt a sort of kinship with Scott as I recently quit my job working as a flight attendant for medical reasons of my own, and I know what it feels like to suddenly have no income. I also was based in Phoenix, where the family lives, so I recognized some of the landmarks mentioned. He is very courageous. Reading about his predicament caused me to mention to my husband that I hoped he would fall in love with me again if this ever happened to us. This truly is the magic of the book, his wife and family standing by him even though their beloved husband and father is truly a "different person."
