There are stories here from men and women who were taken to the football grounds as youngsters and now take their own kids, showing how the religion that is football can be passed down from one generation to the next, providing entertainment and family folklore for years to come.

  The Truman Capote Prize-winning author “provides an offbeat look at the fragility of human life and our resilience when faced with death” (Kirkus). On April 27, 2011, just days after learning of their pregnancy, B. J. Hollars, his wife, and their future son endured the onslaught of an EF-4 tornado. There, while huddled in a bathtub in their Alabama home, mortality flashed before their eyes. With the last of his computer battery, Hollars began recounting the experience, and would continue to do so in the following years, writing his way out of one disaster only to find himself caught up in another. In this collection of personal essays, Hollars faces tornadoes, drownings, and nuclear catastrophes. These experiences force him to acknowledge the inexplicable while he attempts to overcome his greatest fear—the impossibility of protecting his newborn son from the world’s cruelties. Through his and others’ stories, Hollars creates a constellation of grief, tapping into the rarely acknowledged intersection between fatherhood and fear, sacrifice and safety, and the humbling effect of losing control of our lives.

  In 2015, high on the side of Mount Everest, I experienced the darkest days of my life to date. Little did I realize that the darkest day was still to come four years later. But this also led to me discovering the truth about who I was, and what I wanted out of life. It took a life of Misadventure to discover the answers. 
  Ellis J Stewart has lived a life rich in many adventures, and he's only 48! Attempting to summit Mount Everest and getting caught in catastrophes not once but twice. Being employed as everything from a taxi driver to an Amazon delivery driver, through to a well-received public speaker at events from the local Scout group to international corporate clients. 
  He has also experienced the deepest reaches of depression and mental health issues, which he will honestly and freely talk about in a bid to help others in a similar situation. His philosophy is that life is for living, and if we don't try, we will never know. Regrets are there to teach us what we can do better next time. 
  His first book, Everest: It's Not About the Summit has become an Amazon bestseller and has rave reviews from around the globe. His second book, Misadventure: Lessons Learned From a Life of Ups and Downs is both a prequel and a sequel to his Everest story. It is the tale of his life with a myriad of incredible highs and the darkest lows. He writes with brutal honesty and clarity, both motivational and inspirational.  
  Ellis lives in the Northeast of England with his wife, two daughters, and his dog Ella.
