MAITLAND, FL Within the pages of Jayson Williams’s new book, Humbled ~ Letters From Prison ($18.99, paperback, 978-1-62230-463-9; $28.99, hardcover, 978-1-62230-609-1; $9.49, e-book, 978-1-62230-464-6) is a powerful and candid collection of letters and journals that former NBA All-Star, Nets Center Jayson Williams wrote while incarcerated. Jayson Williams paints a perfect picture of his prison experience and describes events in his life that led up to that point.

Former NBA All-Star Jayson Williams’s charisma, generosity and high-energy hustle made him one of America’s most popular pro athletes during the ‘90s and eventually landed him a remarkable $86 million contract with the New Jersey Nets. His easy charm and sidesplitting one-liners consistently landed him on NBA sportswriters’ All-Interview team and made him an audience favorite on the media circuits. But few knew the depths of pain, tragedy and addiction masked by a smile his grandmother called his “most beautiful attire.”

From the New York Times bestselling author of Loose Balls, Humbled is a powerful and candid collection of Jayson’s personal letters and journals from behind bars. Shocking revelations, surprising connections, shameful secrets, and scars that only God can heal—Jayson holds nothing back as he writes about his journey to faith on both sides of the barbed-wire fences.
