Book Video Trailer for "Blows to the Head: How Boxing Changed My Mind" (SUNY Press)

This is the story of a middle-aged, Jewish, female psychotherapist who changed her sedentary life and took up boxing - this unlikely contender who had no previous experience with sports reconnected with her Jewish heritage, the history of Jewish boxers, the story of immigration, and experiences an unexpected transformation that proves that there ARE "second acts" in American lives. Thanks to Bill Brown, video-maker!

"Thanks Jill - your work looks very interesting.  I used to work with an organization in the UK that was one of the first to provide training for social workers on how to communicate with sexually abused children."
