“How I Found Love and Happiness by Reprogramming My Mind” is more than just a love story. It highlights the journey by Jane King from being terribly unhappy and in deep emotional pain to finding her true love, a man who loves her with all his heart and for whom she is able to love unconditionally. Indeed, Jane needed to learn to love herself, before she could ask that of someone else. Surviving a difficult childhood, and a stepmother who was jealous and destructive, Jane was left with many self-doubts and a conviction that she really was not lovable. As the years went by, her emotional pain became almost more than she could bear. After praying to God for help, God sent her what Jane considers an answer to her prayer, the key to reprogramming her subconscious mind and replacing all those negative messages with positive ones. In this small book, Jane shows just how reprogramming worked for her; and having found true love, Jane has the deepest desire to help her readers learn to love themselves, so they too can find love and happiness.

When I was a child, before falling asleep at night, I sometimes would hear my father talking to my mother about stories he read in various magazines. One story was about a man who killed his wife and buried her body in the cellar of their house. Another story was about a man who locked his wife away in a dark room for long periods of time. As a child, I took comfort knowing that those things had occurred in faraway places. Until the day trouble knocked on my door, and fear became my way of life for a period of time. I was not physically beaten, but I am a survivor of domestic violence. I was married for nineteen years. After one month of marriage, an incident occurred that made me know that I was in trouble. Following the way of Principle Love saved my life. This book is written with the aim of helping others who are trapped in the abuse cycle. May you find hope through my life experiences.

One can watch many baseball games before seeing a triple play. With this book E. Ethelbert Miller completes his baseball trilogy. How I Found Love Behind the Catcher’s Mask is a collection of poems that celebrates baseball by putting a spin on how the game brings meaning to one’s life. Well known Washington, D.C. poet, former Howard University professor, and literary activist, Ethelbert Miller is personal and political when writing from the batter’s box or pitching mound. Here are poems that tip their caps to Joe DiMaggio, Ken Griffey Sr., and Emmett Ashford. Miller's book does not duck from examining the Black Sox Scandal, the career of Glenn Burke or the tragedy of Carl Mays. Miller’s own life at times is a playing field for sadness and what Ellington called “mood indigo.” But his love for baseball is a complete game and continues to reflect the hard heat of pleasure. After If God Invented Baseball and When Your Wife Has Tommy John Surgery and other Baseball Stories, this book, like a triple play, is a thing of beauty. “Baseball should create a new position, poet laureate, and give it to E. Ethelbert Miller. In his third collection of baseball poems (‘a double turning into a trilogy,’ as he writes), Miller weaves knuckleballs and pickoff throws with universal themes of family, race, relationships—and the issues of our time, like rioting and voting rights. With allusions to Monbouquette and Giacometti, Henderson and Danticat, How I Found Love Behind the Catcher’s Mask will make you laugh, think and feel a whole new way about baseball and the world around it.”—Tyler Kepner, national baseball columnist for the New York Times and author of the best-selling K: A History of Baseball In Ten Pitches "Ethelbert Miller is one of the most significant and influential poets of our time." --Gwendolyn Brooks
