After ESPN aired the E:60 piece on Johnson and his family, five literary agents approached Johnson with questions of when he’d be ready to write a book. For Johnson, it was important that he use his head, his heart, and pen that wrote on his own paper. “I knew, going in, there were certain areas I was going to cover – these blackberry moments. And that was always, to me, the way the book was going to begin,†said Johnson. ‘Unscripted’ is a beautiful autobiography that speaks to the “unscripted†reality that millions of people in the world live and can relate to. These blackberry moments that Johnson refers to are a series of memories – those unexpected moments that make life extraordinary. We’re all cultivated from a number of blackberry moments that shape us into the person we are and strive to be.
