  Dear Baseball Gods, 
  I hustled. I worked hard. I played the game the right way. Why did you let this happen? 
  I sat by beside a tree, staring at the ground, trying to decide what I would do next. The news was unthinkable—everything I worked for was now ruined. A second Tommy John surgery? Does anyone come back from this? What team would want a broken-down, injury-prone right-handed pitcher?A Story of Perseverance  
  I had been through a lot already. Starting as a walk-on in college, I had to earn everything. I pitched on three hours sleep; lived in the clubhouse; played for a team that collapsed mid-season; fought through more arm pain than any kid should. I had to keep going. I took a deep breath and gathered up my strength for a second comeback. My story had a special ending…I just knew it.A Story of Identity 
  Years later, I was finally forced to hang up my cleats. The next morning, I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the man peering back. If no longer a ballplayer...who was I? What would I do? How would I get out of bed each morning without baseball as my compass? 
  When we choose a sport, we don't realize that one day it may both define and consume us.A Story of The Deeper Side 
  In this philosophical memoir by former professional baseball player Dan Blewett, you'll learn what it's like to take the field terrified that this game may very well be your last. You'll learn how the mental grind of 140-game seasons, ruthless managers and heart-breaking injuries all take their toll. 
  But you'll also learn that there's a place at the top for those who were overlooked, counted out and given up on. Strength of will, belief in self, resolve and grit can carry a person through more than he or she realizes. 
  The Baseball Gods never made it easy...that's for sure.

  “Inside, you’ll find hamburger and sausage gravies, seafood Wellington, even a section on how to can bacon . . . [Moore] knows what she’s talking about.” —Vice, “A Beginner’s Guide to Doomsday Prepper Cookbooks” 
   
  In a survival situation, fictional or real, there are certain components that are necessary to consider that will insure getting to the other side. 
   
  Regardless of the disaster, one must have food, water and shelter in order to live. Taking that just a bit further, you must have food and a means to cook it, water and a means to make it potable, and shelter and a means of heating it. 
   
  Deborah D. Moore has been a Prepper for most of her life, long before the term was popular. She believes in being prepared to winter in during the long cold months that the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has to endure. An entire room in her small house is devoted to food and supply storage. She has a well for water, plus a filtration system in the event she has to use creek or rain water. Since her house is small it’s easy to heat with the wood cook stove that at the same time gives her a means of cooking and baking. 
   
  Author Deborah D. Moore will take you on a fun, step by step journey to recreate the same meals she makes every day using only what she has stored in her pantry. 
   
  “Fantastic . . . more than a collection of recipes. Interspersed between chapters with recipes are snippets about life in the woods.” —Backdoor Survival 
   
  “A modern collection of recipes that have all been regularly prepared on a woodburning range.” —Wood Cookstove Cooking

  Lessons in strength, fitness, food, and attitude from the popular world champion skier and beauty icon-Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn.  
  Olympic Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn wants women to stop thinking about "losing weight fast," and instead focus on loving their bodies for what they are and what they can do. Lindsey is a small-town Minnesota girl at heart turned world-champion skier, but that didn't come without hard work. In Strong Is the New Beautiful, Lindsey lays out the never-before-seen training routines and her overall philosophy that have helped her become the best female skier in the world-tailored for women of all shapes and sizes. Lindsey backs up her fitness program with advice on what to eat and how to work out, and kicks readers into high-gear, helping bolster their self-confidence and build a better body image, with the tips and tricks she's learned as a pro. 
  This is Lindsey's regimen, and she encourages people to take from it what will work for them. She bounced back from injury not by doing every single thing a trainer said, but instead, by thinking about the fitness plan that would work for her, and eating the right foods that would make her feel and get healthy. In Strong Is the New Beautiful, she interweaves her training and diet regimen with compelling stories of her life growing up in the heartland, her love of skiing, the challenges she's faced-including injuries, illness, and depression-and her secrets to wellness, fitness, and recovery. 
  Supported by cutting-edge science and the latest studies on health and exercise, filled with routines even those hitting the bunny hill of working out can master, and illustrated with dozens of workout shots and photos from Lindsey's own collection, Strong Is the New Beautiful will inspire and motivate you-whether you're an aspiring athlete, want to get back into shape, or are eager to up your game-to make your body stronger than ever before, inside and out.
