In September 1972, Rodney Milburn of Opelousas, Louisiana, won the Olympic gold medal in the men's 110-meter high hurdles. Raised amid segregation and poverty in the 1950s and 60s, Milburn honed his skills on a grass track over wooden hurdles. In a career that spanned more than a decade, he established himself as the greatest hurdler of his era and one of the greatest athletes in track history. This biography chronicles Milburn's rise from poverty to international athletic stardom. Loved ones, as well as track legends Renaldo Nehemiah, Dwight Stones, Tonie Campbell, Brian Oldfield and Bill Collins, relate Milburn's remarkable achievements and humble nature.

Present-day, Deep South and rural Blasingame County, Alabama, isn't the place one would normally associate with an ancient Chinese wizard's curse, creatures from the underworld of ancient religious mythology, and a snappish Japanese national with State Department credentials. Yet, a monster hunt is in order, and so is a clash of cultures, religions, and personalities. It will take the efforts of the unlucky county sheriff and the bitter, driven monster-hunter from Japan to rid Blasingame County of a monster whose only limitation is a commonplace vine that grows all over the South.
