"There are families, which, through a combination of genetics, culture, and inclination, produce a startling number of professional athletes, such as tennis players or hockey stars. Then there are families like the Baldwins, which produce a high percentage of actors. My family seems to specialize in people who enjoy drinking. And taking drugs. In such families, there is usually one person who stands out as particularly gifted in the field. When I was a teenager, that person was me. I was the star, the Alec Baldwin, if you will. I started drinking seriously when I was thirteen, smoking pot with a vengeance at fourteen, and getting into cocaine at sixteen. By the time I was twenty I was done. Nice Recovery is the story of how I slipped so far off course, how I got back on track, and, most importantly, what it's like to come of age as a sober young person."
"You don't have to be a bad golfer to be a frustrated golfer you simply have to be a golfer. The only people that are not frustrated golfers are those that don't play. Anybody and everybody who plays the game will indeed be humbled and frustrated by it, even the best players on the planet." "When it comes to golf, frustration is not just possible or probable, it is, in fact, unavoidable and inevitable. Being classified as a frustrated golfer, however, is in no way a dubious distinction. It is not an admission of inferiority but only an admission of being human." "The GREAT GOLF PARADOX: There's probably no game more difficult to master and yet no game more enjoyable when you do, even if only for a fleeting moment. It can, at times, embarrass, humiliate, humble, infuriate, and frustrate us without mercy but in spite of that, most who play love the game and many are downright fanatical about it." "Golf may best be described as a game of opposites. You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. You swing right and the ball goes left. When your body is limber you use stiff shafts. When your body is stiff you use limber shafts. The lowest score wins and the winner buys the drinks. It is also the only game I know of that can be so FRUSTRATING one moment and yet so FUN the next." "Golf is indeed a game but not only a game. To its dedicated and devoted followers it is much more than that. It is in part a religion, a vice, an obsession, a passion, an affliction, a mystery, and an enigma. It can at times frustrate one beyond belief but in the blink of an eye it can also offer up unbridled joy like nothing else." "G.O.L.F. can often seem like the GREATEST OF LIFE'S FRUSTRATIONS but it can also be a GAME OF LIMITLESS FUN. It is, in my humble opinion, still THE greatest game the good Lord ever created." Read about yourself or someone you know. If you're a golfer you are most likely mentioned, described, or pictured many times in this book. If you are a non-golfer but know a golfer(s), you will enjoy reading about them and laughing at them over and over within these pages. www.golfrustrations.com
From the author of Alice, I Think comes a riveting memoir of addiction and recovery. Susan Juby started out as a bright and creative student with an innate ability to write incredible stories. At the age of thirteen her life began to unravel, and like many teens, she turned to alcohol to get her through the awkward stages of trying to find her own unique identity and fit in with her peers at school. In this revealing memoir, she details the painful and sometimes funny experiences of trying to be clean and sober at a time when most young adults are just starting their drinking careers. Juby also looks into how the situation has changed for young people washing up on the shores of addiction today through a series of interviews with recovering addicts and alcoholics. Told with honesty and Juby’s wry wit, Nice Recovery is a candid memoir from one of Canada’s most beloved writers.
Book One of the popular new series! If Liv wasn’t such a control freak, it wouldn’t have rubbed her the wrong way when the farm’s new exercise rider stepped in to resuscitate newborn Chique, the first foal out of her father’s favourite mare. Nate’s equal parts good-looking and good with horses, and the kind of distraction she can’t afford as a woman trying to make it in a man’s world. When she drops out of vet school to get her jockey’s license in New York, intent on coming back to Ontario to ride Chique in the Queen’s Plate–Canada’s most prestigious race–Nate’s skill and dedication make him the obvious choice to keep an eye on the filly. He’s not supposed to become key to her plan. Tragedy brings her home prematurely, disrupting her career, and her life. Now if Chique’s going to become the racehorse she’s meant to be – and Liv’s going to find significance again – she’ll have to let go of her stubborn ideals and let Nate in, to her dream…and her heart.

Seabiscuit meets Heartland… If you love accurate, well-written horse racing fiction, with equine and human characters you'll come to think of as friends and family, you’ve found your next favorite series! Set in the world of Canadian horse racing, travel from Canada's foremost track, Woodbine, to America's top racing venues: Belmont, Saratoga, Keeneland, Gulfstream and Santa Anita. Book 1: Good Things Come — 2020 Dr Tony Ryan Award Finalist If Liv Lachance wasn’t such a control freak, it wouldn’t have rubbed her the wrong way when the farm’s new exercise rider stepped in to resuscitate newborn Chique, the first foal out of her father’s favourite mare. Nate Miller’s equal parts good-looking and good with horses, and the kind of distraction she can’t afford as a woman trying to make it in a man’s world. What she doesn’t expect is for Nate to become key to her plan to get Chique to Canada’s most prestigious race: the Queen’s Plate. Book 2: All The Little Things While Liv prepares Chique for the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown and is trying to navigate her growing feelings for Nate, her best friend, Faye Taylor is trying to get over her broken heart while helping keep the farm she and her brother inherited afloat. Taking over a local café is a chance to supplement her income and new-guy Will’s baking skills might come in handy. She’s not looking to get attached…but all the little things are starting to add up. Book 3: All Good Things The Canadian Triple Crown is on the line, and Chique’s back to her old tricks, leaving Liv and Nate scratching their heads in frustration. Figuring her out earns Nate the chance to ride in California for the winter and Liv thinks she’s doing the right thing by encouraging him to go — without her. It takes the winter apart for them to appreciate what they have, but the love they share — for the horses, and the sport — might be what ultimately drives them apart. Book 4: This Good Thin If the sum total of Liv Lachance's self-worth is the collection of all the things she's done, she's coming up short. She decides it's time to throw herself back into her career as a jockey, even if her impending marriage to fellow rider Nate Miller incites conflict of interest rumblings. But life has other ideas for Liv when a death in the family and illness in the Triple Stripe ranks turn everything upside-down, and she's finally faced with learning that her greatest accomplishments are about so much more than winning races. Book 5: Merry Little Things A parallel, holiday-themed story to This Good Thing, (Good Things Come Book 4). If Emilie Lachance keeps herself busy enough, she'll never have to admit she's afraid of her own company. She has the family farm to oversee, hours to fulfil for an internship, horses to school and a friend with a busy café to help. But when she takes on one too many things she's totally overwhelmed — until friends come to the rescue, and she learns she's not as alone as she thinks she is.
My children have filled a scrapbook of memories. Memories that are very similar to, perhaps duplicates of, the memories held by millions of fathers. Undistinguished, common memories that yet are priceless. These memories are largely fond ones. Conversations, attempts to change hair color, soccer games, skiing, and holidays. But not all of the memories bring smiles. Arguments over curfews, sickness and futile efforts to fix something wrong. Some memories are of anger, concern, and worry. These memories form a collage. A collage that has no obvious coherence or obvious messages. These memories do not portray complex lives, gripping struggles, nobility of purpose or exotic settings. But a fellow father, looking at my collage, might recognize my memories as much like his own. And he and I, looking at our almost identical collages, would smile at our "art" and share our good fortune that our collages have so many pictures.
