Описание: In 2012, Derrick Rose was on top of the world.

After growing up in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, Rose achieved an improbable childhood dream: being selected first overall in the NBA draft by his hometown Chicago Bulls. The point guard known to his family as "Pooh" was a phenom, winning the Rookie of the Year award and electrifying fans around the world. In 2011, he became the youngest MVP in league history. He and the Bulls believed the city's first berth in the NBA Finals since the Jordan era was on the horizon. Rarely had a bond between a player and fans been so strong, as the city wrapped its arms around the homegrown hero.

Six years and four knee surgeries later, he was waived by the Utah Jazz, a once surefire Hall of Fame career seemingly on the brink of collapse. Many speculated his days in the NBA were over.

But Derrick Rose never doubted himself, never believed his struggles on and off the court were anything other than temporary setbacks. Rather than telling the world he had more to give, he decided to show them.

I'll Show You is an honest, intimate conversation with one of the world's most popular athletes, a star whose on-court brilliance is matched only by his aversion to the spotlight. Written with New York Times bestselling author Sam Smith, Rose opens himself up to fans in a way they've never seen before, creating a document that is as unflinching--and at times as uncomfortable--as a personal diary.

Detailing his childhood spent in one of his city's most dangerous neighborhoods; his relationships with both opponents and teammates; the pain and controversies surrounding his career-altering injuries; his complicated relationship to fame and fortune; and his rise, fall, and reemergence as the player LeBron James says is "still a superhero," I'll Show You is one of the most candid and surprising autobiographies of a modern-day superstar ever written.

Описание:

Thirteen-year-old Rose Carlisle, a shy loner, is moving to a new town and a new school, a move that she is convinced will be awful. While spending the summer with her grandmother at the old family mansion called Fineweather, Rose meets a girl named Ring, and they become fast friends. The perfect summer is clouded by some unpleasant involvement with their nearest neighbor, Dooley Birdsong, and his "wolf-dog." When Birdsong makes some accusations against Rose, she must use her intelligence and powers of deduction to try and prove her innocence.

Rose learns to be more proactive and self-reliant, but she believes it's because Ring has told her what to do. How will she survive after they say their final goodbyes?

At summer's end, Rose's grandmother tells of a girl she met at Fineweather years ago. She sounds a lot like Ring. Could they be the same girl?
