Returning home from a work trip, too jet-lagged to fall asleep, Chris Jones opened his wifes laptop intending to get some writing done. Instead, he found a series of text messages that would burn his world to the ground.

In the span of twenty minutes, he lost his wife and his best friend. Overwhelmed by sorrow and often terrifying rage, Jones contemplated suicide. He soon ended up in an emergency room, begging a doctor for help. That was the start of his journey to understand himself, to come to terms with his mistakes, to let go of anger and find forgiveness, and to give himself over to something outside of himself: an underdog English football team from an underdog northern town called Burnley.

How does one rebuild a life? Can something as simple as football give someone a reason to live, offering solace and ultimately meaning? In this searing, beautiful memoir, Jones learns who we are when we care deeply. His journey through heartbreak and healing becomes a moving portrait of modern masculinity - flawed, feeling, and profoundly human.

Arvustused

Legs Hearts Minds might just be the greatest fan memoir ever writtenblazingly honest and sneakily soulful, it finally captures in words the redemptive power of sports. -- Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World This is the truest book about sports fandom that has been or ever will be written. But that's almost an incidental byproduct, so much narrative exhaust, of a story that is so much bigger. So much more universal. This is a book about being a human being on planet Earth. -- Wright Thompson, author of The Cost of These Dreams Chris Jones has suffered dearly, and the pages you are about to read bleed it. Legs Hearts Minds is the blessed convergence of brilliant writing and blistering truthfulness. The tears come. First out of sadness, then out of joy. -- Jeff Pearlman, author of Showtime and Football For A Buck.
