About the Book



The story of a small boy who defeats huge physical and psychological challenges to become a brilliant scientist working among the Who's Who on the Atomic Bomb



Book Synopsis



The word "unbelievable" defines the life of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley. As a testament to grit, determination and faith, Dr. Moseley's life exemplifies the good that can come from facing and surviving extremely challenging circumstances. As his biography reveals, his astonishing life had a purpose.

Emerging from humble beginnings, Miller Moseley experienced multiple tragedies while growing up in North Texas, and survived the Great Depression. The tribulations and obstacles he endured formed in him the determination and unstoppable fortitude needed to live out an incredible life. From playing left end for the famed 1938 Fort Worth Masonic Home Masons football team, being handpicked by Nathan Rosen to assist on the Manhattan Project, and teaching for forty years at Texas Christian University, Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley's story, like his life, is truly unbelievable!



Review Quotes




This book will contribute to the history of atomic power being developed and ultimately used for peaceful purposes. Jimmy Carter - President of the United States 1977 - 1981.


This is the intimate true life story of Miller Moseley, a unique personality -an obscure Texas farm boy, orphaned in childhood, Masonic Home football standout, WWII scientist and revered TCU Emeritus Professor of Physics -told by a close observer. With a remarkable sensitivity to colorful detail and an exceptional gift of verbal expression, first time author, Stella Brooks shares with us this fascinating story. Jim Wright - Former Speaker of the House.


Unbelievable is a gripping story of faith, dedication, perseverance, and overcoming adversities in order to achieve greatness. This book not only chronicles Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley's humble beginnings, but also stands as an awesome tribute to his many contributions and achievements. Stella Brooks is a very vivid writer and does an amazing job bringing this incredible inspirational story to life. Unbelievable was written with such detailed precision and contains such a wealth of information it should be considered a historical literary treasure. Tracy Lane - Fort Worth, Library.


Miller Moseley was a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1940s and came with Professor Nathan Rosen on the liquid thermal diffusion project being carried out at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C under the direction of Philip Abelson. It is likely that Miller is the last surviving member of that team. Stella Brooks has written a compelling biography of Miller. Miller's generation were an elite group of American heroes. Everyone during that time performed way above standard and it is fascinating to have firsthand account of their experience. I enthusiastically recommend this book.

John Abelson, Professor of Biology (Emeritus) at California Institute of Technology and Author


A truly inspirational story. It showcases the spirit of humanity and what young people can achieve when given direction and a fighting chance. It is also a great testament to the Masons and their Home for their commitment and guidance. Gary Patterson, TCU Head Football coach and Dick Bumpas, TCU Defensive coordinator and defensive line coach.
