A truly inspirational story. It showcases the spirit of humanity and what young people can achieve when given direction and a fighting chance. It is also a great testament to the Masons and their Home for their commitment and guidance. Gary Patterson, TCU Head football coach and Dick Bumpas, TCU Defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. This book will contribute to the history of atomic power being developed and ultimately used for peaceful purposes. Jimmy Carter, President of the United States 1977-1981 This is the intimate true life story of Miller Moseley, a unique personality -an obscure Texas farm boy, orphaned in childhood, Masonic Home football standout, WWII scientist and revered TCU Emeritus Professor of Physics-told by a close observer. With a remarkable sensitivity to colorful detail and an exceptional gift of verbal expression, first time author, Stella Brooks shares with us this fascinating story. Jim Wright, Former Speaker of the House Unbelievable is a gripping story of faith, dedication, perseverance, and overcoming adversities in order to achieve greatness. This book not only chronicles Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley's humble beginnings, but also stands as an awesome tribute to his many contributions and achievements. Stella Brooks is a very vivid writer and does an amazing job bringing this incredible inspirational story to life. Unbelievable was written with such detailed precision and contains such a wealth of information it should be considered a historical literary treasure. Tracy Lane Unbelievable, the story of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley ( Miller ), demonstrates that where and how you start in life does not determine where you go or where you end up. This biography begins with a small quiet boy on the plains of Texas in 1921 and chronicles his life from the love and security of family to losing his father and being forced into an orphanage by the financial pressures of the Great Depression. As a young man, Miller experiences the same kinds of tumultuous life events that are often given credit for creating aimless and sometimes criminal adults, but not so for Miller. Read this book to see how Miller rises from the worst that life can offer to become a person who offered the best of life to those around him including standing shoulder to shoulder on the Manhatten Project with American history's most brilliant minds. Author Stella Brooks in her first published work achieves an informing and warm balance between presenting biographical facts and connecting the reader to Harrison Miller Moseley as a human being. The book is written in third person as is typical with biographies but the authors approach to connecting the reader with Miller's thoughts and emotions brings the reader into the story as though they were watching it unfold before their eyes. Her presentation of the 1938 Masonic Home football season made me feel as though I were watching a Texas high school football shootout. I was unable to put the book down until the account of the season ended. It is obvious to the reader that this book was well researched and that much of the information was provided to the author through her first hand interviews with Dr. Moseley and his brothers from the Masonic Home. By the time the last page is read it is clear this story was told not only with paper, pen and ink but also with heart. A true account of Miller's life and the Masonic Home could not be successfully told in any other way. David Burkholder
