No one who thought about it twice would move into a century-old house on a failed farm with a mysterious history — just to pursue a quixotic quest to bring a childhood dream to life. No one with any sense would try to build a golf course by hand the old-fashioned way. Not on the slenderest of shoestrings. And certainly not by himself with only a young family to help. 
But that’s exactly what Bill Haney did. 
Chasing Dreams in the Boondocks is the story of a family transplanted from a comfortable college town to a rundown popcorn farm in rural Michigan, "…all because I had to build a golf course," the author admits. 
He had no money beyond a modest income as a writer. No formal training as a golf course architect and little experience with construction equipment. His greatest assets were a supportive and resourceful wife and four adventurous and helpful kids (the eldest aged six). Still he was determined to fashion a championship-length golf course on a failed farm that held secrets that had already destroyed many dreams and lives. 
What Haney found in the quiet Michigan countryside was far more than he had bargained for. His goal had been to discover the ultimate golf course hidden in those gentle rolling acres, to "restore the land to the way the glacier left it and then build into it a course that fit so naturally it seemed it had always been there." As he went about discovering that, he began to sense that the old house, barns, and land held secrets only vaguely whispered about, mysteries unsolved for generations. 
What started as a monumental solo task for one family grew into something greater. One by one, a collection of engaging characters— neighboring farmers, village craftsmen, and area businessmen—put their hands in "to help this fella realize his dream." 
In those four years of fighting freakish weather, coping with a growing mountain of debt, and fending off other demons, Haney learned that his wife, children, and new friends taught him more and brought more to the adventure than he could ever have imagined.

The 1984 Tigers were one the greatest teams in baseball history. After jumping off to a record 35-5 start, they shook off a determined Toronto team to win the division title, swept Kansas City for the American League Championship, and handily defeated San Diego in a five-game World Series. 
 In doing so, they became just the third team in major league history to lead wire to wire and win the World Series—joining the elite of the elite: the '27 Yankees of Babe Ruth and the '55 Dodgers. 
 And now veteran sportscaster Eli Zaret recreates this extraordinary season in exhilarating detail—from incredible start, through midseason doubts, and on to a dominant postseason finish. Best of all, Zaret provides, for the first time, insights into the season from the key players themselves. The real behind-the-scenes story. 
 We hear from Kirk Gibson, whose home run blast against Goose Gossage clinched the final game of the World Series, about how he pulled himself out of the worst year of his life to play such a key role in the '84 season. And from Jack Morris, the moody leader of the Tigers' pitching corps, who jumped off to an amazing start, fell into an inexplicable personal and professional slump, and then rose to the occasion to help Detroit put the series away. 
 We share the season's intimate details and previously untold moments with Alan Trammell, Willie Hernandez, Chet Lemon, and many more key players. And we get the inside scoop from the maestro himself, Sparky Anderson, who melded a disparate collection of personalities and styles into a unified team, and a winning machine. 
 Zaret shows how General Manager Bill Lajoie completed a brilliant 10-year construction project in assembling the right talent. How critical the performance of the bit players and the role players was in the Tigers' championship season. And how players suddenly cast into the spotlight performed like they never had before and never would again. Zaret also lets us listen in on the negotiations between players and their penny-pinching, old-school CEO Jim Campbell. 
 Fans of any sport will love Zaret's book because it reveals the strategies and inner workings of how a championship is won. Baseball fans will savor this insightful look at a team that has become an icon of the sport. And Tigers fans, who have had to endure much since '84, will be ecstatic in reliving that championship feeling.
