Charismatic Highland HI-RISER Risert, a regally handsome multi-millionaire, former NBA all-star, and a successful entrepreneur has it all - a booming hi-tech company, a beautiful family, and a blessed life.
But not for long.
The company goes belly up, and Highland is involved in a horrific accident that kills his family. He survives but is disfigured and crippled for life.
But not for long.
The company goes belly up, and Highland is involved in a horrific accident that kills his family. He survives but is disfigured and crippled for life.
An accident?
Maybe ... maybe not.
Highland vows to prove it wasn't. But how? He has no money, no job, is confined to a wheelchair, and worse, no one believes him. Destitute, Highland takes a job at a poor rural school. There he meets a fourteen-year-old deaf kid, HOMER - a boy that awakens gentle stirrings of the soul that may breathe hope into his life again.
Homer's only goal in life is to make the basketball team. Highland takes Homer under his wing, and an Odyssey of unexpected emotion, discovery, and drama unfolds.
Highland searches for the answers to his nightmare while being drawn into Homer's battle to capture a dream. A heart-rending journey plays out against the backdrop of acceptance, redemption, and spiritual rebirth.
Acceptance Bridge is a story about overcoming insurmountable odds, emotional twists, humorous turns, and a spiritually uplifting climax. And ... it's a story where a Homer steals your heart.
This story has everything it possibly needs to become a smash success. It will make every possible reader happy. -Frederick Marx, Warrior Films.org- Producer, Director, Writer, Hoop Dreams, Named Best Film of the Decade by Roger Ebert.
What a fine story and screenplay! What heart! Acceptance Bridge will make a memorable film. - Mark Miller, legendary leading man, producer, and writer of A Walk in the Clouds, Savannah Smiles, Christmas Mountain, and Diff'rent Strokes.
Acceptance Bridge is a great read. The story is so entertaining and exciting I couldn't put it down. It's 'Glory Road, ' 'Hoosiers' and 'Rudy' combined as teams and individuals overcome handicaps and roadblocks on all levels. Inspiring is not a strong enough word for 'Acceptance Bridge' ... but it certainly works. - Donn Burrows, Director, The Big O: The Oscar Robertson Story.
