I write my diary in the toilet to get away from my troubles, like having to compete with Michael, the bully who’s in the swim team with me, and falling out with my best friend, Alvin, over a girl! My diary goes wherever I go as there are those who want to read it. For I know secrets, like how to break my sister’s curse and how babies are made…

'Patterson is one of the great comic writers of the last quarter century' THE HERALD 'Unsparing but ultimately uplifting, every sentence cuts a caper' MOJO 'A thoroughly engaging, life-affirming book' MAIL ON SUNDAY How does the big stuff in life truly change us? In late 2019, Sylvia Patterson was a celebrated pop journalist, still merrily writing about the musical greats. But with the diagnosis of a life-threatening disease, a global pandemic and the collapse of her industry, life was about to take a drastic turn. It was a misadventure that would teach her many things. The power of friendship, the shock of mortality and what happens when love is tested. How a walk in the park, a spontaneous dance and a TV hero can save your life. How your perspective can shift on everything, from work, family and music, to what truly makes you happy. And what really happens when your body, never mind your kitchen, falls apart. The follow-up to the Costa-shortlisted I'm Not with the Band, this is Sylvia's unflinching, poignant and gallows-funny odyssey through the mid-life trials we all face, as she tries to answer the big question: would it all change her, or would she stay that same old girl? 'A relatable read by a phenomenal writer' THE FACE 'There's no mistaking the writing of Sylvia Patterson' SUNDAY TIMES

Jesus never entered into the equation as the Smith family planned their move from New York City to Left Fork, South Carolina. Career advancement, safe living, peace, and the hope of keeping jobs in the United States for this small town were reasons Mike Smith rationalized as he made his decision to move. However, man’s plans are often superseded by God’s plan. (Jer. 29:11) While Mike Smith starts out as the family leader, it is Mary Margaret, his 9-year-old daughter, who in the end takes the lead and changes this family’s direction forever.

Skimpy Coverage explores Sports Illustrated’s treatment of female athletes since the iconic magazine’s founding in 1954. The first book-length study of its kind, this accessible account charts the ways in which Sports Illustrated—arguably the leading sports publication in postwar America—engaged with the social and cultural changes affecting women’s athletics and the conversations about gender and identity they spawned. Bonnie Hagerman examines the emergence of the magazine’s archetypal female athlete—good-looking, straight, and white—and argues that such qualities were the same ones the magazine prized in the women who appeared in its wildly successful Swimsuit Issue. As Hagerman shows, the female athlete and the swimsuit model, at least for the magazine, were essentially one and the same. Despite this conflation, and the challenges it poses, Hagerman also tracks the distance that sportswomen—including Wilma Rudolph, Billie Jean King, Serena Williams, and Megan Rapinoe—have traveled both within Sports Illustrated’s pages and without. Blending sports with gender history, Skimpy Coverage profiles numerous sportswomen who have used athletics and the platform sport offers to push for empowerment, freedom, equality, and acceptance in ways that have complemented and inspired broader feminist agendas.

*Listed as one of TIME's 18 Black leaders working to end the racial wealth gap* In Kenya the pool was green and surrounded by concrete so hot it burnt the soles of her small feet. She didn't know any different. A decade later she would be double British Champion and the first Black women ever to swim for Great Britain. But this story is not about making history. As her body and mind are sharpened through gruelling training, press scrutiny, and the harshness of adolescence, Rebecca questions who she is swimming for, and what the onward journey to the Olympics will cost her. A compulsive and unforgettable study of intensity, These Heavy Black Bones meditates on Blackness, identity, and the ecstasy of peak physical performance. In stunning prose, Rebecca charts her careers's ascent, her singular love of the water, and lays bare the pressures within her swimming world.
