Intestinal Fortitude: A Memoir

Part autobiographical and part expose, Intestinal Fortitude weaves Earl Llewellyn Goldmann's battles with physical injury, alcohol abuse, depression, and recovery even as he succeeds as a basketball standout, teacher, and coach. In this compassionate and moving memoir of vignettes, Earl reveals how a not-so-ordinary young man with great potential from a small town on the Oregon Coast, faced repeated trauma and stress in his life. His brave, truthful, and detailed stories address head-on the implications of alcohol, an unhappy marriage, and tragic loss in his college years. His stories flow into our hearts and souls as we experience his unflinching optimism during a search for his identity through sports. Earl proves that a strong man with resilience, perseverance, and gratitude can find himself in a place of immense pride in his sobriety, family, and life journey. His self-reflection and wisdom, a beacon of hope for all of us, create this must-read for anyone asking questions about their life's purpose.
