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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Comfort – Like Sleeping in a Luxury Hotel Every Night!
I am beyond impressed with the DIORIS Pillows Queen Size Set of 2! From the moment I laid my head on them, I knew I had found my new favorite pillows. They strike the perfect balance between soft and supportive, making them ideal for back, stomach, and side sleepers like me and my partner.
The fluffy down alternative fill feels just like the real thing—plush, breathable, and incredibly comfortable without triggering my allergies. These pillows don’t flatten out overnight either; they maintain their shape and bounce back beautifully each morning.
What really stood out to me was the hotel-quality feel. The outer fabric is smooth, skin-friendly, and breathable, helping me stay cool and sweat-free throughout the night. I wake up feeling refreshed, well-rested, and with no neck pain—which is a huge win!
If you're looking for affordable luxury, I highly recommend these DIORIS pillows. They’ve completely upgraded my sleep experience, and I’ll definitely be buying another set for the guest bedroom!

Helps you get a good night's rest
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These are my favorite pillows. I've had so much neck pain and headaches in the morning. This all stopped once I started using them. They hold up their shape and seem like they are good quality. My husband kept trying to steal my pillow, so I had to order him his own. You won't be disappointed in these pillows, and you'll get much better sleep.

Very soft!
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
I like the softness of these pillows. They are too bulky for me but my husband loves his. I’ve been using a flat pillow for too long. I may just need to adjust to it.
