Glove Shy: A Sister's Reckoning

The heartbeat of family life is the thump of fists on a heavy bag.
In the 1970s, Janet Hurley’s older brother, Brian, was the teenage protégé of a World Heavyweight Champion who lived in their hometown. Brian was a young man of brilliance and wit. His talents were broad, yet boxing was the path he chose. And, soon enough, family life revolved around his training, his bouts, his future: Olympic medals? A pro career?
Glove Shy is a tender-tough memoir, a loving look at how a sport as elemental as boxing can obscure the powerful forces this family never saw coming. But, when one of your own is in the ring, slugging, being slugged, what else can matter?
Glove Shy is a well-told story of what happens when the blows hit far beyond the ropes. Hurley is a talented writer, with strong and vivid prose. She is also brave, willing to get in the ring with her own past.
About the Author

Janet Hurley was born and raised in the Hudson Valley of upstate New York before heading south to Carolina (the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) for its undergraduate creative writing program. She has lived in the south ever since, most recently in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western NC, where she and her husband David raised their daughter, Maren, and son, Liam.

After receiving an MFA in Creative Non-fiction from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, in 2008, Janet published feature stories and profiles for North Carolina-based magazines, Our State and VERVE. She also ran a small business, True Ink, which provided creative opportunities for young writers. In 2011, she co-founded Asheville Writers in the Schools and Community (AWITSC), a non-profit committed to racial equity and social change through the power of arts, culture and restorative self-expression. And, from 2013-2016, she taught creative non-fiction and writing for the media as an adjunct in the undergraduate writing program at Warren Wilson College. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic forced many transitions, including, fortunately, a re-focus on her own writing.

Glove Shy: A Sister’s Reckoning is Janet’s first book-length publication. She lives in Asheville, NC with her husband David and their dog, Wilson.
