Omschrijving

For 46 years, he kept the secret.

As a boy in Israel, he was the goalkeeper - the kid who read every kick before it came, who threw himself at the concrete without thinking twice, who walked off the field with scraped knees and the ball in his hands. On the schoolyard, he was fearless.

But off the field, in the dark corners no one watched, a different game was being played - one he never chose, one he couldn't stop, one that would reshape every part of his life for decades to come.

What followed was a lifetime of silence. Of a body that remembered what the mind worked to forget. Of relationships that collapsed under a weight no one could see. Of wandering between countries, jobs, and identities - always ready to leap, never knowing where to land.

At 56, the silence satisfying cracked.

The Goalkeeper is the unflinching true story of a boy who learned to protect everyone but himself - and the man who, after 46 years, finally found the words to speak. It is a story about childhood sexual abuse, relentless bullying, and the invisible wounds that shape a life. But it is also a story about a mother who never gave up, an unexpected voice that opened a locked door, and the courage it takes to stand between the goalposts one more time.

This is not a story of victimhood. It is a story of a goalkeeper who lost the field - and found his way back.

If you've ever carried a secret that shaped your life - this book was written for you.
