Travis Roy, the Boston University player paralyzed on the first shift of his first collegiate game, has officially released his autobiography, Eleven Seconds<\/i>.<\/p>\n

“The book is finally my chance to tell my story,” said Roy prior to a reading before a packed house of several hundred students at Boston University’s George Sherman Union. The book was written with the help of E.M. Swift of Sports Illustrated<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Roy wanted to tell his story because of concerns that the media had not quite managed to capture who he is.<\/p>\n

“They make me someone I’m not,” he said. “I’m just a regular kid…or maybe I’m a little special, but the person I am wasn’t born from that accident.”<\/p>\n

Eleven Seconds<\/i>, published by Warner Books, retails for $20.00.<\/p>\n
