Brad Cousino's compelling memoir 'Unwanted, Unworthy, UNSHACKLED' tells how he endured 18 years of intense physical, emotional, and verbal traumatic abuse.  To escape his brutal life of misery, he worked deep underground cleaning out the dank, dark sewers of the worst kind of putrid, rotting filth and sludge to pay for his first quarter of college.
He then tried out as a non-scholarship walk-on (i.e., iconic movie "RUDY"') on Miami University's (OH) football team. Brad was the smallest defensive lineman in the country, but was selected to many All- America teams and even played in the NFL under two legendary, Hall of Fame coaches - Paul Brown (Cincinnati Bengals) and Chuck Noll (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Then IT happened! All the honors, prestige & success Brad achieved over the previous five (5+) years came crashing down in devastating defeat - in less than one day.
His traumatic past comes back to haunt him, as a savage "winner-take-all" spiritual battle rages for the young man's heart, life and future family.
