Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jack "Goose" Givens first walked onto the basketball court at Lexington's Douglass Park for the legendary Dirt Bowl league, it was the beginning of one of the most illustrious sports careers in Kentucky history. After being named 1974's Mr. Basketball for the state of Kentucky as a high school senior, Givens signed with the University of Kentucky and went on to amass a string of achievements that place him among the all-time greats in NCAA college basketball—most notably leading UK to the 1978 NCAA Men's National Championship with his 41-point performance against the Duke Blue Devils in that historic game—and being named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player for that year. They Call Me Goose: My Life in Kentucky Basketball and Beyond is an intimate and all-encompassing look at the life and career of the basketball legend, from growing up in a housing project in Lexington, his success with UK men's basketball through his years with NBA's Atlanta Hawks and the Japan Basketball Association, his career as a college and NBA television color analyst, to his recent appointment as a commentator for the UK Sports Network. Givens shares personal and endearing stories from his childhood—how he was initially interested in baseball instead of basketball, the summers spent with his grandmother in Danville, Kentucky, and the teachers and coaches who guided and supported him along his journey. He also speaks candidly about his experiences with poverty, ruinous financial debt, the blowback from sexual assault allegations, and how his faith and his family helped sustain him through hardships and challenges. In collaboration with journalist Doug Brunk, Givens presents fans with the powerful story of a husband, father, mentor, businessman, and ambassador for Kentucky—who also just happens to be an iconic sports legend.

Book excerpt: Gracie Anderson, a single college professor in her thirties, knows her life is severely lacking—no dates, no pets, and no real personal life to speak of. But now she’s stuck: her best friend, Chloe, has signed her up for a support group that meets at a local community center in an attempt to hook her friend up with the man of her dreams. Instead, Gracie meets five other women who are different from her and from one another as night and day. A librarian, a dominatrix, a fashion consultant, a housewife, and a blue-collar worker—and the only thing they have in common is they are all motherless daughters. Reluctant to participate at first, Gracie soon finds herself a critical member of the group. Trying to juggle her successful career, overprotective best friend, snobbish socialite grandmother, new boyfriend, and old boyfriend just might be too much for Gracie, but two things will help her through: her sense of humor and the Highmore Circle. In this novel, six women with seemingly only one thing in common navigate the perils, pitfalls, love, loss, happiness, and craziness of life together in a humorous and memorable way.
