      A Stolen Life is a memoir of a young woman who was kidnapped for eighteen years. This woman named Jaycee was kidnapped as a little girl. Jaycee's kidnappers took her using a stun gun, incapacitating her before she was able to run or scream. The last remnant of her freedom for the next 18 years was the pine cone she felt the day she was taken. After 18 years of rape and terrible living conditions, until officers had finally found her. Now she is left to struggle with never having a childhood and having to take care of two children she didn't intend on having.

     Inside the Helmet a memoir of Micheal Straham the ex-football no having gone commentator. The memoir is about his NFL career although this was written before his last year in the NFL. Talking of his anger and conflicts with coach Caughlin, which at first was pure hatred. But later goes on to talk about the friendship that they have and how they remain every good friends. Including all of his injuries, one of the biggest focal points was the skepticism of whether or not Micheal would play in another season of the NFL to win a Superbowl. Which he did by the way for his last season of the NFL.
