They say that truth can be stranger than fiction, and in the case of Bill Bartmann, it's absolutely the case. Bouncing Back is a glimpse into situations most of us never see: · Leaving a dirt-poor family at age 14 to join the carnival · Being an alcoholic gang member by age 17 · Becoming paralyzed by falling down stairs drunk · Being told that you'll never walk again, yet later walking out of the hospital Those are unusual-enough experiences, but they were only the beginning of Bartmann's journey. He is the only person ever to work in a pig slaughterhouse for years, and later become a billionaire-the 25th wealthiest person in America. After his success, Bartmann didn't just go to Disneyworld, he rented the entire facility and hired 27 jumbo jets to fly his employees there. And he's the only person to turn down an invitation to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom because he was too busy. As if that's not enough to fill one lifetime, Bartmann was then personally indicted by the U.S. Attorney General on 57 felony counts, and faced 600 years in prison if convicted. Without testifying at his own trial or calling a single witness, Bartmann was cleared of all charges and the government later admitted it had no case. Now Bartmann's back, taking on the entire debt-collection industry and creating a new form of debt-collection company never before seen on the planet. Bouncing Back is about the lowest of lows, and the highest of highs. It's also about how you never know what's around the corner.
