“It may seem like I came out of the blue. But my
road was long, windy, full of hurdles, and even some
dead ends. I lost family. I lost friends. I even lost
my way. When I reached what felt like rock bottom,
I realized I had a responsibility to everyone who
believed in me and to kids like me, who just needed
a chance and something to believe in.”
—FROM THE EPILOGUE OF OUT OF THE BLUE
VICTOR CRUZ, the Super Bowl–winning and
record-breaking wide receiver, is best known for his
explosive plays and salsa touchdown celebrations.
While his meteoric rise in the NFL looked like the
result of a magical year, it was actually a lifetime in
the making.
Raised in Paterson, New Jersey’s gritty Fourth
Ward, Cruz overcame numerous setbacks through
hard work, perseverance, and the support of his
loving family—from his grandmother who gave him
his signature dance moves; to his late father, a former
firefighter, who introduced him to football and
taught him how to play; to his hardworking single
mother, who never let him give up in the face of a
challenge. They all helped to keep him on the right
path, as did his coaches, but Cruz’s journey was
never easy. There were family tragedies, academic
struggles, injuries, and more.
In this inspiring, never-before-seen account, Cruz
pays tribute to the people and places that made
him the man he is today, recounts his most defining
moments, and illustrates how his hardships ultimately
unleashed his impenetrable will to win.
Out of the Blue is a candid and moving reflection
of an overlooked and undersized athlete with
an uncommon last name in American football who
was determined to beat the odds and earn his
chance to succeed.

HE UNICORN LIVED IN A LILAC WOOD,
T AND SHE LIVED ALL ALONE...
...so she ventured out from the safety of the enchanted forest on a
quest for others of her kind. Joined along the way by the bumbling
magician Schmendrick and the indomitable Molly Grue, the unicorn
learns all about the joys and sorrows of life and love before meeting
her destiny in the castle of a despondent monarch—and confronting
the creature that would drive her kind to extinction.
“Comes alive and stays alive on bright intensity of imagination.”
—THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
