George Allen was a top-ranked NFL coach throughout the sixties and seventies, coaching in turn the Chicago Bears, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Washington Redskins. Raised in a home dominated by her three football-obsessed older brothers and her father's relentless schedule, Jennifer Allen came of age in a cauldron of testosterone and win-at-all-costs mentality. Buffeted by the coach's tumultuous firings and hirings, the Allen family was periodically propelled to new teams in new cities. And while her French-Tunisian mother attempted to teach Jennifer proper feminine etiquette, the author dreamed of being the first female quarterback in the NFL. But as she grew up, she yearned mostly to be someone her father would notice. In a macho world where only foot-ball mattered, what could she strive for? Who could she become? Allen has written a poignant memoir of the father she tried so hard to know, about a family life that was willfully sacrificed to his endless fanatical pursuit of the Super Bowl. What emerges is a fascinating and singular behind-the-scenes look at professional football, and a memorable, bittersweet portrait of a father and his daughter, written in a fresh and perceptive voice.

Wee Waa and The Outback Roo is an adventure story set in the Outback of Australia, about a young kangaroo named Roo. But you see this isn’t your average adventure story, and Roo isn’t your average kangaroo. Born with an unusually long tail, Roo has endured years of relentless teasing and torment from his fellow kangaroo tribe, he knows his only option is to run away. There is nothing more Roo desires than the respect of his tribe. He decides the best way to prove his worth is to attempt to cross the Valley of the Winds, a place feared by all creatures of the Outback and for good reason. Here Roo must face the first, and one of the most frightening challeges he will face along the way...Wanambi (a giant and powerful snake). Roo’s journey quickly turns into much more than he bargained for. What he thought would be a short journey to prove himself, turns into far more than he could have ever imagined. Wee Waa and The Outback Roo is a story of self acceptance, courage and everlasting friendship.
