Book Description
Triumphant wins, gut-wrenching losses, last-second shots, underdogs, competition, and loyalty—it’s fun to be a fan. But when a football player takes a hit to the head after yet another study has warned of the dangers of CTE, or when a team whose mascot was born in an era of racism and bigotry takes the field, or when a relief pitcher accused of domestic violence saves the game, how is one to cheer? Welcome to the club for sports fans who care too much. In Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back, acclaimed sports writers Jessica Luther and Kavitha A. Davidson tackle the most pressing issues in sports, why they matter, and how we can do better. For the authors, “sticking to sports” is not an option—not when our taxes are paying for the stadiums, and college athletes aren’t getting paid at all. But simply quitting a favorite team won’t change corrupt and deplorable practices, and the root causes of many of these problems are endemic in our wider society. An essential read for modern fans, Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back challenges the status quo and explores how we might begin to reconcile our conscience with our fandom.

Book Description
A shocking 1989 quadruple family murder and the little girl left behind to tell the story. As a child, I was known as "Jessica Pelley." When I was nine, I went to a sleepover at a friend's house for the weekend. While I was away, my entire family was murdered. I would spend the next 30 years fighting, crawling, and clawing my way through the darkness. This wasn't just a national news headline, a cold case, or a true crime show. It was my family. And my life. I was the broken little girl left behind to tell this story. I am now "Jessi," in the pages of this unapologetic memoir, set free.

Book Description
The impact of childhood sexual abuse is something few can understand unless they've been there. It leaves a dark stain within the child's soul, a tangled mass of negative self-beliefs and emotions that can darken a child's happiness throughout their life. This dark place is where Jessica Ways found herself. She had managed to survive a childhood of sexual abuse by a psychopathic half-brother, her cries for help ignored by those who should have come to her aid. At the age of sixteen, she gave birth to her son—himself a progeny of rape by yet another extended family member. Kicked out of her home by her parents, dismissed as a troubled child by authorities, Jessica found herself staring into the eyes of her three-day-old son, her own happiness lost in self worthlessness and a complete distrust of others. In a single moment, the most important thought of her life bubbled up through the thick, black morass of her emotions... "He's never seen me smile..." Tears streamed down her cheeks as she woke to the idea that she had been denying her own child the very thing that she craved the most. She swore to him that he would never know anything but love from her. That she would never allow him to feel abandoned, ignored, or abused. It was the beginning of a long journey, one with which she struggled for the first years of his life. Out of desperation, she decided to write a letter to herself. A touching letter in which she asked to find herself, to reach out and end the darkness. She finished and sighed, tears of frustration running down her cheeks. She didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't to look down and see her own hand continuing to write—letters turning into words, words turning into sentences—and her with no idea of what was coming next. The ensuing conversation—a conversation that continues to this day—offered her deep insights into herself, the human spirit, and even consciousness itself. Her emotional recovery began in earnest, though it took years for her to be willing to see the light within. Today, she is a happy mother of four children and wife to an adoring husband of twenty years. She decided to share these early writings in hopes that they might help others who find themselves lost in that darkness.

Book Description
One wish can change everything. This year when Jessica Martinson-Canton blows out eleven candles on her homemade vegan cake, she makes the same wish she’s made for as many birthdays as she can remember: she wants a mother. Jessica’s father Phil has worked his entire life to create a more stable childhood for his daughter than he had with his unwed teenaged mother. When his wife left him and their newborn daughter in their most vulnerable hour, Phil pledged to give his baby everything. His parents have reunited and are working hard to create a supportive extended family, but rainbow pancakes and princess murals can’t heal the dark void left in Phil’s heart which he won’t even admit is there. Mallory O’Connell leaves her dream job in a big city to return home to help her fiercely independent mother recover from tragedy. After forming a unique bond with Jessica—and a friendship with Jessica’s hot father—Mallory finds that in coming back to Stonehill she might just have found a way to make all of her dreams come true. But as their families push Phil and Mallory together, old insecurities and Phil’s worst fears threaten to break up the happy trio and catch Jessica in the emotional crossfire.
