As we know, former UConn Husky Mel Thomas has written a book called “Heart of a Husky: Determination, Perseverance, and a Quest for a National Championship” and we’ve all been waiting for it to become available to order.
Well just in time for Christmas, “Heart of a Husky” can now be pre-ordered at MelThomas.com. The cost of the book is $19.95 and right now there are 1,000 copies of the book available. The orders will begin shipping on December 15th.
And if you’re interested in getting an autographed copy of the book, Mel will be returning to the United States from Ireland in mid-December to do a mini book tour. Here are the dates and times of where Mel will be. You can also purchase the book at these appearances as well.
