Publisher's Summary

Lionheart is an inspiring story of love, forgiveness, and the power of music, narrated by David Francisco and his wife Kristi.

David Francisco grew up living a comfortable, middle-class American life in Knoxville, Tennessee. He played sports and music and was captain of both his high school soccer team and the marching band. He later attended the University of Tennessee and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering in 2014 - but music was his real passion.

David spent the next two years recording songs, teaching piano and guitar lessons, playing in a church band on Sunday mornings, and producing and performing his own music. In 2016, he enrolled in the prestigious Blackbird Academy in Nashville.

Then, on April 27, 2016, while riding his bicycle in Nashville, Tennessee, David was hit by a distracted driver. Doctors told him he would never walk again. His life had changed forever.

Lionheart is the richly detailed and intimate account of David's crash, recovery, and return to music: From thinking he lost everything, to appearing on national television (twice), to marrying his soulmate, Kristi - to finding a life and purpose beyond his wildest imagination.

In addition, Lionheart the baudioook is unique in that there is an accompanying album of the same name. In fact, many sections of the audiobook are song titles - and the album order follows the order of the sections of the audiobook. Think of Lionheart, the audiobook, as a souped-up behind the music for the album! The audiobook also includes sections titled “The Making of...” that provide background and insight into how and why David wrote each of the 11 songs on the album.

Lionheart - the audiobook and the album - are so much more than a simple recounting of David's post-crash odyssey. Lionheart is a movement that aims to empower people to find purpose.
