It is about how an ordinary and unremarkable life was turned upside down when Sarah lost her husband in 2010.This is how she held things together, not a guide of how to survive grief but maybe some of her stories will give you hope and help you find some lost glitter along the way.When a loved one dies it is often the seemingly insignificant detailsthat stir up the brightest memories.The colour of the top worn for the funeral,the sound of matches rattling in a coat pocket,eating sausages and chips for Christmas dinner.These are the fragments of lost glitter.What other people are saying"Tender and true and beautifully written."Stephanie Butland - Found in a Bookshop“Sarah has dealt with potentially heavy subject-matter – young widowhood, cancer, and the loss of her Dad – with a light touch and sprinkles of humour, giving the reader plenty of space to breathe and reflect. I felt like I had spent a lovely weekend holed up somewhere cosy with her, listening to her stories and getting a real sense of her relationships, and hopes for the future. In particular her honesty about mental health and difficult times is refreshing – it would have been so easy to have fallen into the trap of trying to be ‘inspiring’ non-stop.”Helen Anderson - Sagrada Familia“I read the first few lines and I was hooked. This is a powerfully written memoir, poured out from the heart. Taking the form of short stories, the book makes you feel like a fellow traveller through significant periods of Sarah’s life - the good times, the hard times and the tragedy. Sarah writes so authentically that I felt I was right there with her, witnessing her heartbreak and sharing in her times of joy. This is compelling reading for anyone dealing with grief or wanting to help someone who is going t

Fantasy expert

Ron Shandler

An entertaining and incisive chronicle from one of the foremost authorities in fantasy baseball 
 
 
 
Ron Shandler is a self-described rotoholic. In the beginning, he hoarded newspaper box scores and pored over every number at his disposal. Then came the compulsion to create his own numbers. A monthly newsletter expanded into an annual Baseball Forecaster book, which spawned a media company, websites, tournaments, and more. 
 
 
 
Part memoir, part madcap history, Fantasy Expert is a fascinating and wide-ranging look at the modern growth and development of the game that went from cottage industry to national obsession. 
 
 
 
In chronicling his own escalating journey from rotisserie baseball hobbyist to professional authority, Shandler tells parallel tales of the rise of fantasy sports, the expanding baseball information industry, the increasingly sophisticated technology employed to gain an edge, and the fellow rotoholics who make it all possible. He also delves into the impact of fantasy baseball on the sport of baseball itself. 
 
 
 
Written with humor, honesty, and a deep passion for baseball, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in the history, progression, and future of fantasy baseball.

American General - The Life and...

John S. D. Eisenhower

From respected historian John S. D. Eisenhower comes a surprising portrait of William Tecumseh Sherman, the Civil War general whose path of destruction cut the Confederacy in two, broke the will of the Southern population, and earned him a place in history as "the first modern general." Yet behind his reputation as a fierce warrior was a sympathetic man of complex character. A century and a half after the Civil War, Sherman remains one of its most controversial figures-the soldier who brought the fight not only to the Confederate Army, but to Confederate civilians as well. Yet Eisenhower, a West Point graduate and a retired brigadier general (Army Reserves), finds in Sherman a man of startling contrasts, not at all defined by the implications of "total war." His scruffy, disheveled appearance belied an unconventional and unyielding intellect. Intensely loyal to superior officers, especially Ulysses S. Grant, he was also a stalwart individualist. Confident enough to make demands face-to-face with President Lincoln, he sympathetically listened to the problems of newly freed slaves on his famed march from Atlanta to Savannah. Dubbed "no soldier" during his years at West Point, Sherman later rose to the rank of General of the Army, and though deeply committed to the Union cause, he held the people of the South in great affection. In this remarkable reassessment of Sherman's life and career, Eisenhower takes readers from Sherman's Ohio origins and his fledgling first stint in the Army, to his years as a businessman in California and his hurried return to uniform at the outbreak of the war. From Bull Run through Sherman's epic March to the Sea, Eisenhower offers up a fascinating narrative of a military genius whose influence helped preserve the Union-and forever changed war.
