About the Book

Before becoming one of the world's foremost jockeys, Garrett Gomez was an alcoholic and a drug addict. Throughout his career, he established himself as an up-and-coming jockey, but just as it seemed that the racing world was his for the taking, he threw it all away, and retreated to a life where alcohol and drugs dictated his every move.The Garrett Gomez Story: A Jockey's Journey Through Addiction & Salvation captures the remarkable journey of a jockey who had it all, lost it all, and came back to win his life, his family and his career. Written by Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award winner Rudolph Alvarado with Garrett Gomez, this story of addiction and salvation will pull back the curtain on Mr. Gomez's life and reveal the story of a man, husband, father, jockey, and recovering addict who is still considered one of horse racing's premier jockeys.
About the Author: Dr. Rudolph Alvarado is a father of seven, as well as a grandfather. He loves to play tag, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and spending time on a Lake Huron beach with his children and wife. He holds a Fine Arts Ph.D. and an MFA in Playwriting from Texas Tech University, as well as an MA in History from Eastern Michigan University, where he was a University Fellow and a Parks/King/Chavez Fellow. His work has been published by Arte Público Press, the University of Michigan Press, Michigan State University Press, Texas A&M University Press, and Alpha Books of New York, to name a few. His biography, The Untold Story of Joe Hernandez: The Voice of Santa Anita won the prestigious Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award and his biography on jockey Garrett Gomez was a finalist for the same award.
