New York, NY, November 03, 2025 --(PR.com)-- The Captain of Deep Springs, who currently resides in northern Georgia and has previously worked as a yacht captain and as a computer programmer and consultant, has completed his new book, “The Adventures of Wiliford: Heretofore Untold”: a stirring tale that centers around a young boy who runs away from home, discovering who is truly is in the process with the help of an unlikely friend.

“‘The Adventures of Wiliford’ is a story that begins like millions of others. A young boy grows up in a household of alcohol and drug abuse. His future seems destined for heartache and tragedy. But refusing to cower to the evil that surrounded him, Wiliford, at the tender age of eight, made a courageous choice that forever changed his destiny. He ran away from home, into the woods behind his house,” writes the author.

“Unknown to him, someone else had also run away to those same woods. Sammy Joe Barger, a retired janitor and Scoutmaster, had his own reasons for running away. Unlike the millions of other runaways whose lives fall into ruin, they found purpose and meaning in each other’s company. What followed was an adventure that transformed them both, physically, intellectually, and spiritually.

“Their story is told in the unique voice of a former classmate of Wiliford, Jennifer Rutherford Miller. Tasked by Wiliford to write his story, she reveals what none of his high school classmates ever knew about his beginnings. Neither did his adoring college football fans nor the millions of viewers who watched his funeral on national TV and wept. Nor did few know the real identity of the man who preached his funeral.”
