Unwritten Routes is a natural, reflective coming-of-age story about resilience, self-worth, and the journey to becoming more than what they expected, even if the map didn't exist yet.The stadium lights hit differently when you know nobody expected you to be here. Not your teachers, not the recruiters who barely glanced your way. Football was supposed to be my way out, my escape from the weight of expectations, from the quiet stares in the classroom, from the feeling that I had to prove something just to exist. But it didn't matter how many yards I rushed or how many touchdowns I scored. Off the field, I was just another Black kid trying to figure out where I fit. Between school, practice, and navigating a world that already had me labelled, I had to learn who I was before someone else decided for me. And that? That was the hardest game I've ever had to play.

True Gretch -- Young Adult Edition
The young adult edition of the unconventionally honest, deeply personal, and sharply funny account from Michigan governor and rising Democratic star Gretchen Whitmer "will appeal to readers interested in politics and those seeking insights on leadership and attaining success" (Kirkus Reviews). When Gretchen Whitmer was growing up, her beloved grandmother Nino taught her that you can always find something good in other people. "Even the meanest person might have pretty eyes," she would say, a piece of advice that Gretchen carries with her today in her role as the governor of Michigan. (And one that resonated more than another her grandmother offered: "never part your hair in the middle.") From navigating a kidnapping and assassination plot in which she herself was a target to facing monumental challenges during a global pandemic, Big Gretch (as she's now known) shares the key pieces of wisdom that have shaped her trailblazing career and personal experiences in this often hilarious, always uplifting book. Along the way, she tells stories about growing up gutsy in the Midwest, the wild comments she's encountered as a public figure, and how to neutralize high-profile bullies with a fearless sense of humor. Told in her famously straightforward and slyly funny voice, this young adult edition of the governor's story not only offers an intimate insight into the life of a politician with an astounding journey, but also affords extraordinary lessons for young people everywhere who wish to make a difference in the world.
