Book Description
Do not let the title Kelly Tough fool you. This is not a “be all you can be, no pain–no gain” story. Toughness is overrated. And being Kelly Tough, well, you are about to find out what that really means and why it just might matter to you. Kelly Tough is a story of love and hope: a love between a father and a daughter—Buffalo Bill’s former quarterback, Jim Kelly, and his oldest daughter Erin. Erin shares a deeply personal account of the love a family can have for each other during the darkest times, and a greater love that a heavenly Father has for you. Whatever circumstance or heartbreak you find yourself overwhelmed by right now, it is not the end of the story. In fact, it just might be one of the greatest chapters as you, like the Kelly’s, find strength in weakness, hope in the midst of heartache, and joy in spite of suffering.

Book Description
A teenager struggles through physical loss to the start of acceptance in an absorbing, artful novel at once honest and insightful, wrenching and redemptive. (Age 12 and up) On a sunny day in June, at the beach with her mom and brother, fifteen-year-old Jane Arrowood went for a swim. And then everything -- absolutely everything -- changed. Now she’s counting down the days until she returns to school with her fake arm, where she knows kids will whisper, "That’s her -- that’s Shark Girl," as she passes. In the meantime there are only questions: Why did this happen? Why her? What about her art? What about her life? In this striking first novel, Kelly Bingham uses poems, letters, telephone conversations, and newspaper clippings to look unflinchingly at what it’s like to lose part of yourself - and to summon the courage it takes to find yourself again.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A story-driven collection of essays on the twelve powerful phrases we use to sustain our relationships, from the bestselling author of Glitter and Glue and The Middle Place “Kelly Corrigan takes on all the big, difficult questions here, with great warmth and courage.”—Glennon Doyle NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE AND BUSTLE It’s a crazy idea: trying to name the phrases that make love and connection possible. But that’s just what Kelly Corrigan has set out to do here. In her New York Times bestselling memoirs, Corrigan distilled our core relationships to their essences, showcasing a warm, easy storytelling style. Now, in Tell Me More, she’s back with a deeply personal, unfailingly honest, and often hilarious examination of the essential phrases that turn the wheel of life. In “I Don’t Know,” Corrigan wrestles to make peace with uncertainty, whether it’s over invitations that never came or a friend’s agonizing infertility. In “No,” she admires her mother’s ability to set boundaries and her liberating willingness to be unpopular. In “Tell Me More,” a facialist named Tish teaches her something important about listening. And in “I Was Wrong,” she comes clean about her disastrous role in a family fight—and explains why saying sorry may not be enough. With refreshing candor, a deep well of empathy, and her signature desire to understand “the thing behind the thing,” Corrigan swings between meditations on life with a preoccupied husband and two mercurial teenage daughters to profound observations on love and loss. With the streetwise, ever-relatable voice that defines Corrigan’s work, Tell Me More is a moving and meaningful take on the power of the right words at the right moment to change everything. Praise for Tell Me More “It is such a comfort just knowing that Kelly Corrigan exists: she is somehow both wise and self-deprecating; funny but unafraid of pain; frank but gentle. She is the sister/mother/best friend we all wish we could have—and because of this big-hearted book, we all get to.”—Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not Apply “With full-bodied humor and radical sensitivity, Kelly Corrigan transforms the mundane pain of life into a necessary spiritual text of sorts, one that reminds us that we have the right to grieve but the obligation to be grateful. This book will remind you that you are human—and of the fragile loveliness of being so.”—Lena Dunham

Book Description
"0n August 18, Jim Kelly arrived in Buffalo to a reception befitting a liberating general. Thousands of people lined the road from the airport to downtown Buffalo as if to affirm their hopes for the rejuvenation not only of their languishing football team but of their city." "Kelly's life had already amounted to an affirmation of his heroic character. Beginning with his improbable rise from the nondescript industrial town of East Brady, Pennsylvania, he had gone on to become the first great prospect to arise from the University of Miami's legendary Quarterback U. and the leading passer in the fleeting USFL - where he racked up 83 touchdowns and passed for almost 10,000 yards in only two years. Along the way he had tapped the support of his ever-involved family to overcome a devastating late college injury that seriously threatened to end his career." "Armed and Dangerous is the autobiography of one of the most inspirational and successful competitors in the history of American sport. In 1986 Jim Kelly spoke of leading the last-place Buffalo Bills to the biggest game in their history, and five years later he guided them to Super Bowl XXV. Although they lost - and suffered a catastrophic Super Bowl defeat to the Washington Redskins the following year - Kelly remains among the NFL's top-rated passers and continues to command the unqualified respect of his peers and of all thoughtful fans. At the helm of Buffalo's vaunted no-huddle attack, he is a leader among All-Pros like Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and James Lofton." "In Armed and Dangerous Kelly talks openly of the tough times as well as the triumphs. He relates how dissension during the 1987 players' strike posed a serious threat to his team's rebirth, and, for the firtt time, presents his perspective on the troubling "Bickering Bills" controversy that almost tore asunder the accomplishments of coach Marv Levy's impressive building program." "In addition to these insights, readers of Armed and Dangerous will come to appreciate Kelly's philosophy of football and competition by following his thoughts through a season - 1991-92 - that was buoyed by great expectations but culminated in bitter disappointment. Jim Kelly's approach in Armed and Dangerous is as poised and honest as the man himself."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
