New book is the chronicle of a real-world Forrest Gump

Romanian tennis legend Peter Marmureanu has lived a life of many titles. In his new book, "Beyond My Dreams", he reveals his incredible and sometimes startling life journey from an impoverished early life to a world-class tennis player, becoming the tennis coach for the U.S. Federation and Wightman Cup teams. In between, readers can discover his background visiting 51 countries, transporting top-secret government messages, fleeing an oppressive Romanian government in 1975, and meeting (and playing tennis with) President Gerald Ford.

"I am living proof that if you have a passion in life, working hard to perfect it can pay off," Marmureanu said. "If I had given up, I would have never had the opportunities I have today in America."

"Beyond My Dreams" is politically correct as well, as the situation in Eastern Europe today resembles that of his boyhood. Marmureanu epitomizes the classic American tale of the boy who grows from humble beginnings to lead a spectacular life.
