With a foreword by Carl Fogarty Joey Dunlop's story is one of towering triumphs and desperate tragedies in almost equal measure. Born poor - dirt poor - with no running water, no electricity, he was the definition of the everyman hero, earning the title 'King of the Roads' in what must be considered one of the world's most extreme sports - motorcycle road racing. And as well as being voted Northern Ireland's greatest ever sportsman, he remains the most loved and most successful road racer of all time. Joey Dunlop won the hearts and minds of millions during his thirty-one-year career, culminating in his greatest triumph in the year 2000 at the Isle of Man TT when, grey-haired, bespectacled, and approaching fifty years of age, he reclaimed his reputation as the greatest TT rider in history by defeating a whole new generation of talent and regaining the F1 crown for the first time in twelve years. But in road racing, tragedy is never very far away. Joey lost his life in a racing accident in July of 2000. It was just weeks after his final TT victory. More than 60,000 people attended Joey's funeral. Over twenty years after his untimely death, the sport has never truly recovered from his loss. Everyone with an interest in motorcycling knows the legend of Joey Dunlop but now, for the first time, they can get to know the man himself. This definitive new biography is the most comprehensive ever written on the man. In turns hilarious, triumphant and tragic, this is Dunlop's story as it has never been told before - by those who were part of it.

It is also the story about the collapse of the mob, which turns out to have been caused more by Urban Renewal than the FBI. And there is also enough of a love story stirred into the plot to make a great movie.-Can't wait." -Nick Pileggi- Author of "Wiseguy" and the screenplay "Goodfellas" "The book is written in a language which captures your imag

K. C. Camden professes that her family was just like any other in the fact that over the years, they were hardly perfect. But together they weathered the storms, laughed and cried, and loved and fought. Everything changed for the Camden family one November day when K. C. drove up to her house and made a horrifying discovery: her son, Joey, had committed suicide. K. C. details her journey as an average mother who provides a loving and nurturing home for her two children but eventually must face and fight the daunting issues of domestic violence, drug abuse, and depression. While sharing her own misgivings and insecurities, she honestly portrays the path of severe depression that led Joey to take his own life, including her personal regret in not knowing more about the side effects of the controversial anti-depressant drug Paxil and in trusting the doctor who prescribed it for Joey. Only Forgotten Son offers understanding and compassion for those who suffer the terrible darkness of depression and will hopefully lessen the unwarranted stigma associated with suicide.
