    Now a major new stage play 'Punch' by James Graham

    ★★★★★ What's On Stage 
    ★★★★ Guardian

    ★★★★ The Stage 
    In 2011 Jacob Dunne threw a single punch that ended another man’s life. Sentenced to prison for manslaughter, he served fourteen months of a custodial sentence. On his release, he found himself homeless, unemployed and struggling to find a sense of purpose. But with the help of others, and with the encouragement of his victim’s parents, he managed to get his life back on track. 
    Right From Wrong follows the course of Jacob’s life, beginning on a council estate in Nottingham. Beset by problems at home and at school, Jacob drifted into drug-related gang culture, drinking heavily and fighting for fun before a fateful night changed the course of his life. Unflinching in its account of Jacob’s guilt and shame, this book will reveal how Jacob used the experience to turn things around. He has been actively involved with Restorative Justice programmes including the Forgiveness Project, has reconciled with those he has hurt, has earned a first-class degree in Criminology and become a husband and father. 
    Jacob’s story is in some ways unique, but it is also reflective of the experiences of young working-class men and boys across the country. By reflecting on his story, he hopes he might help people to avoid the kind of mistakes he made. In the process he points to the societal reforms needed in order to avoid an endless cycle of criminality and hopelessness. 
    Right From Wrong is a deeply humane and honest book, and an unflinching look at men’s mental health and emotions at a time when our awareness of these things is of crucial importance. 
    Jacob Dunne's Right From Wrong is a deeply personal and inspirational autobiography that delves into the societal issues of crime and law. This top-rated memoir is a testament to the power of self-help and societal reform, making it a must-read for those interested in social issues. 
    For fans of Joel Mciver (Fathers, Brothers, and Sons), Chris Ayres (War Reporting For Cowards), Dave Grohl (Beast), Nikki Sixx (The Heroin Diaries), and Mick Wall (Like a Bat Out of Hell).

You may have misplaced your Superwoman hat somewhere between school drop-off and deadline #3, but trust me—it’s still there. And we’re about to find it. 
    Inside these pages, you’ll:Learn how intention is the ultimate superpower—one you already have, you just need to remember to use it.Reconnect with the part of you that’s more than just a calendar manager and carpool queen.Get real strategies (not fluff) for managing the chaos while still pursuing your dreams.Laugh, nod in agreement, and maybe even cry a little—because this journey isn’t easy, but it’s ours.

    Sis, I got you. Now let’s go find your sunny side UP.

    If you're one of those folks who's had enough of the same old boring history books, you're in for a treat. 
    You see, "The History of France: The 1700s and the Napoleon Era" isn't like those other dusty books that put you to sleep before you can finish the first chapter. This book's got something special – something that makes you want to keep turning the pages and find out what happens next. 
    Picture this: France in the 1700s, with all its kings and queens, and the Age of Enlightenment brewing like a fresh pot of coffee. 
    It was a time of big ideas and even bigger hair, when people like Voltaire and Rousseau were changing the way folks thought about, well, everything. And then there's the French Revolution, that wild and crazy period when people decided they'd had enough of the aristocracy and started chopping heads left and right. 
    But that's not all. This book will also take you on a whirlwind tour of the Napoleon Era, where you'll get up close and personal with the little general who almost conquered the world – if only the Russians hadn't been so darn cold. You'll learn about his rise and fall, his brilliant strategies, and his complicated love life, all told in a way that'll make you feel like you're right there in the thick of things. 
    This is the kind of book that sneaks up on you, like that kid in class who never says much but always has the best stories to tell. 
    It's a book that'll make you forget about all those other history books that never quite lived up to their promises. 
    So why not give it a try? You might just find yourself getting lost in the pages, eager to uncover the secrets and stories of a time and place that'll never be quite the same again.

    “For those who love baseball, the game holds deep personal meaning and echoes to the past that are undeniable but often hard to articulate. Christian Sheppard’s The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball is a love letter to baseball that explains its connections to our inner lives and to classical lore in a way that makes one pine for Opening Day.”  —THEO EPSTEIN
     
    Who are you, how are you supposed to live, and what about happiness? Answers to age-old questions are offered in classic myths about heroes, gods, and monsters, and at the ballgame.
     
    In The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball, author Christian Sheppard interweaves Homer’s epics with glorious stories from the green fields of America’s pastime, celebrating Achilles’ courage and Odysseus’ cunning along with the virtues of Hall of Fame
        players such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth and of great teams such as the 2004 Red Sox and the 2016 Cubs. Along the way, Sheppard humorously recollects trying to raise his baby daughter true to the teachings of ancient myth and his beloved game.
        The result is an endearing, insightful, and inspiring guide to cultivating virtue and becoming the hero of your own life’s odyssey.
