About the Book

The word "unbelievable" defines the life of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley. As a testament to grit, determination and faith, Dr. Moseley's life exemplifies the good that can come from facing and surviving extremely challenging circumstances. As his biography reveals, his astonishing life had a purpose. Emerging from humble beginnings, Miller Moseley experienced multiple tragedies while growing up in North Texas, and survived the Great Depression. The tribulations and obstacles he endured formed in him the determination and unstoppable fortitude needed to live out an incredible life. From playing left end for the famed 1938 Fort Worth Masonic Home Masons football team, being handpicked by Nathan Rosen to assist on the Manhattan Project, and teaching for forty years at Texas Christian University, Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley's story, like his life, is truly unbelievable!

About the Author :
Stella Elizabeth Brooks found the inspiration to step out of her comfort zone and into the world of writing upon learning of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley. Moseley, a man of historical significance, had gone unnoticed for years. After studying his personality and life, she was able to understand his responses, his choices and his silence. Brooks brings to life the emotional and personal journey of a young boy, Harrison Miller Moseley, as he works to turn his losses into becoming a self-sufficient man through academics and football. Miller's senior year, 1938, would test him mentally and physically. Drawing from her numerous exclusive one-on-one recorded visits with Miller, and extensive research, Stella manages to show Miller's emotional side as well as his achievements in the classroom, the football field and during his scientific work on the Manhattan Project. She was honored with the first and only lengthy interview Miller ever gave detailing his phenomenal achievements and inspirational courage. He vividly described his fantastic life working in the world's most famous laboratory with new details not previously known. His wonderful dry humor and personality brought a special sentiment to his inspirational life. Additional extensive interviews with Miller's childhood friends from the orphanage ―Richard Opperman, Tom Brady, Horace McHam, and Bruce Riddle―are included. Stella has two children and lives in Fort Worth, Texas. This is her first book.

Review :
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
