  Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on the 25th January 1882 in South Kensington in London. 
  Although lauded as a founder of modernist writing with such classics as ‘Orlando’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’ and ‘To the Lighthouse’ and, of course, many classic short stories, her background is filled with elements of tragedy that she somehow overcame to become such a revered writer.   Her mother died when she was 13, her half-sister Stella two years later and with it her first of several nervous breakdowns.  Appallingly it was later found that three of her half-brothers had sexually abused her so darkness must have seemed ever present.   
  She began writing professionally at age 20 but her father’s death two years later brought a complete mental collapse and she was briefly institutionalised.  Somehow she found within herself a literary career and with it great innovations in writing; she was a pioneer of “stream of consciousness”.    
  Her tight circle of friends were the founders of the Bloomsbury Group, a movement whose legacy still influences across the arts and society in many way to this day.   
  Whilst the dark periods continued to interrupt her emotional state her rate of work never ceased.  Until, on 28th March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled up its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse, in Lewes, East Sussex and drowned herself.  Her body was not recovered until the 18th April.  She was 59. 
  She left behind a note which read in part “Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again.  I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times.  And I shan't recover this time.  I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate.  So I am doing what seems the best thing to do”.

  He’s the quietest player on the team, but she might just be the one to make him speak his heart. 
  Lola: 
  As the coach’s daughter and team massage therapist, I’m used to being invisible around hockey players. That is, until Declan “The Storm” Nash walks into my treatment room and catches me dancing to Whitney Houston while organizing essential oils. 
  One accidental orange oil spritz to the face later, and suddenly the team’s most reserved right wing can’t stop talking to me. Between secret coffee dates, stolen kisses in my office, and working together on the off-season fundraiser, our chemistry is off the charts. But dating a player is strictly against my father’s rules, and Declan’s shoulder injury could threaten everything he’s worked for. 
  Between hiding from my dad at team barbecues, planning Kids Skate events, and falling head over heels for the man who finally sees me, I’m in deeper than I ever expected. Can our love survive my father’s disapproval and the pressure of professional hockey? Or will this power play leave us both benched from the game of love? 
  Trigger warnings: This book is full of hot kissing, dancing, massage therapy, coach’s daughters, and body positivity from a plus-sized heroine. Read at your own pleasure!
