We spend most of the hour with Keith O'Brien, author of Heartland: A Forgotten Place, an Impossible Dream, and the Miracle of Larry Bird." The book focuses on a chapter of Bird's life that tends to be misunderstood and largely ignored: his high school and college years, including the amazing things he accomplished at Indiana State. The book also describes the tiny, poor town of French Lick, Indiana that was home for him- and his difficult childhood.
