Download or read book No Other Home written by Matt Besler and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sporting Kansas City captain Matt Besler has achieved something extraordinary in the least extraordinary way. At every level of his athletic career, Besler has heard the same questions and initial dismissal of his talent. Even as he made his slow, steady progression into the consciousness of his coaches, opponents, and fans, then onto the national and world soccer stage, he heard it still. How does a normal guy like Matt Besler end up playing in the World Cup, one of the most exclusive competitions in international sports? If it’s true that he’s a rather typical Midwestern guy, it’s also true that Matt happens to be one of the best soccer players in the country. Professional soccer is a bastion for the flamboyant—the lifestyles, the hairstyles, the WAGs, the passionate fans—yet Matt has flourished as the anti-flamboyant. He is preternaturally calm. He is stalwart. He is relentlessly committed to his preparedness and his athletic success. Matt Besler may seem to be Mr. Average, but it is this very characteristic that has made him exceptional. No Other Home offers an honest, first-person perspective into exactly what it takes to reach the highest levels of the sporting world. Matt shares his stories—from growing up in a loving but fiercely competitive family, to climbing through the ranks of high school, club, and college athletics, to dealing with injuries and professional setbacks, and even to his own rather extraordinary experience of becoming a father. The poignant lessons he’s learned so far hold value for soccer fans and nonfans alike. This is a book to be shared among family members, young and old. And for parents looking for positive influences in professional athletics, they will find no better role model than Matt. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the nonprofit charity, the BESLER FAMILY FOUNDATION.

This time,it’s with the dangling promise of a sizeable inheritance after all these years—but there’s a catch. It sounds so easy: Pick up a valuable, near mint-condition classic Ford Fairlane racecar and drive around Lake Michigan taking photos of herself—and the Fairlane—at appointed landmarks. A weekend of traveling for almost a half million dollars and a pretty cool car? The offer is tempting, but Lonnie can’t abandon her parish on a moment’s notice. Not when her nemesis has staged an all-out religious war designed to harass Lonnie out of her position as the lone Episcopal priest in Middelburg. Finding another dead body doesn’t help matters in the least. In fact, it definitely seems like the end of the road for the inheritance… and only the beginning of an even wilder ride. Ditched joins Toasted and Whacked in this Lambda Literary Award-winning mystery series from Josie Gordon.
