Originally published in 1995 to huge critical acclaim and a finalist for the NBCC Award for Nonfiction, Madeleine Blais's In These Girls, Hope Is a Muscle is a modern sports writing classic. Now expanded and updated with a new epilogue, Blais's book tells the story of a season in the life of the Amherst Lady Hurricanes, a powerhouse girls' high school basketball team from a small western Massachusetts college town. The Hurricanes were a talented team with a near-perfect record, but for five straight years, when it came to the crunch of the playoffs, they somehow lacked the scrappy, hard-driving desire to go all the way. Now, led by senior guards Jen Pariseau, a three-point specialist, and Jamila Wideman, an All-American phenom, this was the year to prove themselves. It was a season to test their passion for the sport and their loyalty to each other, and a chance to discover who they really were. As an off-season of summer jobs and basketball camps turns to fall, as students arrive and the games begin, Blais charts the ups and downs of the team and paints a portrait of the wider Amherst community, which comes to revel in the athletic exploits of their girls. Finally, a women's team was getting the attention they deserve. And the Hurricanes were richly deserving; these teenage girls are fierce and funny, smart and ambitious, and they are the heart of this gripping book. In These Girls, Hope Is a Muscle is a classic sports book, a timeless look at girls' athletics.Binding Type: Paperback

Works well
A bit small, but works well to keep my 3 remotes and other small items organized on my side table.

Nice but Could be better
This is a nice product to house all you remotes in one spot on the night table next to a bed or where ever you keep remotes. For the most part this remote control holder is sturdy, attractive and convenient. I has two levels but is lacking a separator on each level to prob your remotes up and keep them from sliding sideways. So, I would recommend the ability to put "remote control" dividers, perhaps somehow adjustable, where you could slide the divider to the width of each respective remote to keep it standing up and not sliding sideways that create a "pile or stack" of remotes.

Works great!
I mounted a toilet tissue paper holder on this, and then mounted it across from my toilet. This makes it about 6" closer to make it easy to reach. I also put the remote for my bodey in the organizer.
