Tim Green, himself an adopted child who has written movingly of his own search for his birth parents in A MAN AND HIS MOTHER, has brought the experience of those feelings to Troy White, whose longing to know his father was evoked in Tim's first novel for young readers, the New York Times bestseller FOOTBALL GENIUS. A former star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, Tim earned his law degree from Syracuse University and began writing bestselling books for adults, including THE DARK SIDE OF THE GAME and FALSE CONVICTIONS. He's worked as an NFL analyst for FOX Sports and most recently hosted "Find My Family" for ABC TV.

Tim lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York, where he enjoys sailing and coaching his children's football and baseball teams.
