"As one-time boy wonder Billy Walters relives his debut in a Merseyside derby match at the age of nineteen, ninety minutes cut across twenty-two years and fellow players become family and friends, enemies and lovers. Can Billy achieve his lifelong ambition of scoring the winner in the derby, and is there really such a thing as life after football?" "A play about fathers, sons, and football, Billy Wonderful is a fast-paced coming-of-age story pulsing with all the excitement and physicality of Match Day." "Billy Wonderful premiered at the Liverpool Everyman on 12 March 2009." --Book Jacket.

A true story of Billy, his adventures and challenges as he embarks on his new life in his "forever home" on Maggie's Farm in Rhode Island.

Being in your 20s is like losing your parents at Disneyland, but for the rest of your life. Sure, its all fun and games because at least Mickey Mouse is there and cotton candy is flowing. Then you realize, Wait, what the heck am I supposed to do now? MOM, DAAAAAAD!?! ANYBODYYYY!?! Some people are lucky. They know exactly what they want out of life early on and are relentless in attaining it. Good for them they deserve it. Most of us, however, are forced to continuously alter our path, always striving to reinvent ourselves and find our passion somewhere along the way. Whichever category you fall in, at one point or another, we all find ourselves lost, trying to navigate our way through the storms of life. Whatever walk (or storm) youre on, theres no doubt in my mind that you seek more out of this life. I wrote this book for one reason - to serve as a roadmap for those searching to live a successful, peaceful, and purpose-filled life. Will we allow our past to alter our present? Or will we decide to find our Purpose, Escape our past, take Action, Change our autopilot, and become Empathetic to our surroundings? Yes, for those of you paying attention - those five steps I just listed off spell P.E.A.C.E. See, not as dumb as I look crouching in that field below.

"When Billy's father disappears and his mother withdraws deeper and deeper into herself in response, Billy maintains hope that his father's absence is not by choice - despite the rumors and taunts of his classmates. Twelve days before Christmas a magical Christmas tree with twelve magic ornaments sets the young man on a quest to find his dad and bring him home. Billy will stay with you forever."--Publisher's blog.
