Stella Brooks was honored with the only lengthy interview Miller ever gave and unmasked details of his phenomenal achievements and inspirational courage. He vividly described his fantastic life working in the world's most famous laboratory with new details not previously known. His wonderful dry humor and personality brought a special sentiment to his inspirational life.

Drawing from her numerous exclusive one on one recorded visits with Miller and extensive research Stella Brooks shows Miller's emotional side as well as his achievements in the classroom, the football field and the Manhattan Project.

Stella brings to life the emotional and personal journey of a young boy, Harrison Miller Moseley, as he works to turn his losses into becoming a self-sufficient man through academics and football. Miller is not your usual high school football star or your usual scientist. Miller accomplished more in his lifetime than those born with a silver spoon. He was only five years old when his father contracted typhoid fever and died. His mother was busy working through her own grief as well as struggling financially during the depression. Later, she registered her children in an orphanage, The Masonic Home and School in Fort Worth, Texas.

Miller held his emotion inside his small five year old frame. He conquered fears, emptiness and poverty to become a sticky fingered, quick left end for the highly successful '38 Masonic Home football team rightfully earning the honor of All District Player. The entire State of Texas and beyond cheered the Underdog orphans to the Semifinal State championship. As a college student, Miller would receive the invitation of a life time. Albert Einstein would ask Miller to join the Manhattan Project working on the atomic bomb. Miller was a contributor on the Atomic Bomb project that changed world history and introduced the world to nuclear energy.

Strengthening Miller's biography are five highly influential key figures: 1) Nathan Rosen, Einstein's right hand man whose previous collaboration with Einstein and Boris Podolsky had resulted in the most important paper Einstein would write after moving to America. The paper was the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox or the EPR paradox. Rosen was Miller's professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and encouraged Albert Einstein to include Miller on the (atomic bomb) Manhattan Project. Nathan Rosen and Miller co-authored scientific papers, and Miller's dissertation was signed by the great Nathan Rosen. 2) Philip Abelson, the renowned Scientist who invented the liquid thermal diffusion isotope separation technique which proved critical in creating sufficient fuel for the atomic bomb. Philip Abelson wanted to take an atomic bomb out into the country for a test, but Miller successfully talked him out of it. 3) Mr. R. N. Russell, one of the most gifted football coaches' to walk on the Gridiron and into the lives of the orphans. He made a promise to God to make a difference in a child's life and through God's grace, he invented the never seen before short passing game and trick plays used in the NFL today for a group of orphans. 4) Mr. Fletcher, the beloved Masonic Home and School Superintendent, who later offered Miller a full scholarship to Texas Christian University. That significant gift would set the stage for work on the most famous project in the world. 5.) Frank Tolbert, sportswriter, whose remarkable illustrations of the Masonic Home Football games and practices in the Fort Worth Star Telegram captured the excitement and created an archive of proof this unbelievable team was real. Each of these individual's made a big impact on Miller's life as well as the world. At last, UNBELIEVABLE, The Unmasking of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley.

Industry Reviews

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.

I was Miller's student at TCU and a faculty colleague for over twenty years, but I never really knew his story. Stella's recount of the formative events in Miller's life have helped me appreciate and respect his special qualities even more.

- Dr. C.A.Quarles, TCU Professor Emeritus.

I have never read a more true book about my home, The Masonic Home. This book brought back so many memories, especially watching the 1938 football team with Miller Moseley playing left end for the greatest smallest team in the history of the Home. Stella, in her book displays the true spirit of what Masonic Home was all about. The Home not only produced great athletes, but produced a great person with an intellectual mind, which happened to be Miller Moseley. When my older brother and I went to live at the Home in 1931, Miller was already living there along with his younger brother and sister. I feel so honored to have been raised in the same Home along with Miller Moseley. Tom Brady


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.

"Wishing Miller and his wife all the best."
