  Tennis from the Heart: Pursuing the Dream is a story about an individual Sam, who reaches the finals of Wimbledon after having been a professional with limited success for over 10 years. His journey through life is a lesson in the differences between supportive transformational coaches that inspired love for the game and dictatorial coaches who turned him off. 
  It shows the challenges facing an aspiring champion—from selecting the right academy and school to deciding whether to attend college or turn pro. Ultimately, this audio book is about the growth of Sam to become a self-aware human being who plays tennis with mindfulness, using the strength of his connection with the higher power of the universe. 
  It is a wonderful inspiration for all aspiring tennis champions and their parents to understand the benefits and the challenges they will face. It is fantastic for coaches of any sport to understand the tremendous impact they can have on their students. 
  It is also a fantastic story for people who aren't involved in tennis yet, but want to improve their lives by being more connected to their inner guidance and help raise the consciousness of humanity. It is a beautiful love story about the deepest and most enduring love, as well as passion for the wonderful sport of tennis.

  A Love Letter To New York Mets Fandom—the triumphs, the heartbreak, and everything in between.Childhood for Evan Roberts was defined by outings to the old Shea Stadium with his father, always with a scorebook in hand. What began as a gameday ritual replete with misspelled player names and scrawled symbols turned into an obsession with scoring every game he watched, one which persisted as Roberts rose through the ranks at WFAN. Taken together, those scorebooks form a living, breathing Mets diary spanning 30 years of thrilling—and, at times, tortured—fandom.My Mets Bible is an exercise in memory and nostalgia, and a meditation on the things that stick with us as sports fans. With his personal scorecards as a guide, Roberts brings to life some of the most unforgettable moments in Mets lore, offering a fresh perspective on the highs and lows of being a die-hard fan. Meticulously kept history mixes with personal recollections and behind-thescenes anecdotes covering touchstone events such as Johan Santana’s no-hitter, Robin Ventura’s grand slam “single,” and the loss that Roberts has never quite gotten over. By turns heartfelt and hilarious, Roberts delivers a thrilling and unique journey through modern Mets history.

  Confessions of a Recovering Slut is the hilarious and often heartrending sequel to Bleachy-Haired Honky Bitch, which concludes with Hollis Gillespie, the daughter of a missile scientist and an alcoholic traveling trailer salesman, at last finding a home of her own. Unfortunately that home just happens to be in one of Atlanta's most dangerous crack neighborhoods—but the place is bound to improve, right?Wrong. Gillespie is plagued by missing human torsos, murdered policemen, and a drug dealer who keeps setting fire to her neighbor's house—and all this after Hollis discovers that she is inexplicably (except, maybe, for all that acrobatic sex) pregnant. While the neighborhood might have been fine when she was a child-free urban pioneer, it's a nightmare for a mother with nothing but cake pans to bulletproof the baby's room. Gillespie must depend on her three best friends, Daniel, Grant, and Lary, to help her—although Lary makes it no secret that he hopes the paint fumes she inhaled early in her pregnancy will cause the baby to be born inside out—"that way it'll be easier to sell for parts.""Will Gillespie ever feel safe? No matter, she's still Hollis at heart—and, as Lary points out, if not safe, at least "safe from ever being normal."
