“I was certain that Davis had had a vision…[This book]combines observation and perception in a remarkable way…this is not a touching book; it is a seizing one.”
—Leonard Bernstein. ”A surrealist nightmare…compelling, disturbing…it is also a brave, ambitious book…Davis is a story teller with a vivid sense of visual imagery and striking descriptive power.”
—The Jewish Exponent

By Stephen Cronin
By the age of 11 Stephen Cronin was more trouble than his widowed mother could handle. He was becoming a "tough"-running the streets of Rockland with his pals, skipping school and refusing to respond to even the strongest threats. After much soul searching, his mother sent him to live with an elderly couple farming on Matinicus Island, isolated from the rest of Maine by 20 miles of cold Atlantic Ocean. In his autobiography Stephen recounts the slide into delinquency on the streets of Rockport, his arrival on Matinicus Island and the next six years living under the patient tutelage of "Grandfather" and "Grandmother" Hall. Viewed as an outsider, Stephen struggles to learn the island culture, earn his keep and fit in within a community whose values are different from those he developed to survive in a big city. Stephen Cronin complied his autobiography at the age of 88. His memories are windows into the challenges of rural life in maritime Maine in the mid 1800's, as well as testament to the eternal power of love to rescue a child.

Are you a good player, who struggles with consistency? How can you improve your game? Are you teaching hitters to have nice swings, or how to actually hit? How can you get practice swings to become game swings? Improving one’s mental game begins with realizing that you need one. Most athlete’s and coaches will admit that our game is approximately 80% mental. In Complete Game, author Rob Crews addresses these issues in an easy to understand approach. “There is an invisible wall blocking many athlete’s progress. We are spending so much time trying to get over it or under it. On the other hand, the people on the other side of the wall have changed their perception of the wall and walked right through it. The Law of your Mind can take the other Laws, which have specific limitations, far beyond their boundaries. And because we cannot see the Mind, we try to change the things we can actually see –such as the swing. Ever thought of changing your mind?” “There is an interconnectivity of Mind and Body that cannot be ignored. Mind Training must come first or be taught along with Body Control or mechanics. If we continue to teach them separately our players will not develop and mature properly as they move on to higher levels of competition. In order to realize success and consistency, we have to fuse Mind and Body principles together in our respective teaching models.”

My first realization that something unusual and very terrible had happened in Russia occurred one day while I was sitting on the floor of our salon and drawing a picture of an imaginary "firebird." I had heard the word Bolsheviks many times, but it had no meaning for me. Suddenly my father rushed in and took my mother into his arms. He whispered something in her ear and she broke into tears. Immediately I was gathered into his arms and our small family went to our Russian church.
