Regrip

By Lainy Carslaw

When Jesse Warsaw's father abandons him at nine years old, he learns that survival means self-reliance. Left with a stranger and a suitcase of broken promises, he begins to understand what loneliness can make-and unmake-inside a person. From that moment, Jesse is caught between the ache of abandonment and the fierce hope that somewhere, someone might stay.

Years later, gymnastics becomes his lifeline-a world of chalk and calluses where control feels possible, and every fall can be fixed with one motion: regrip. But when loss and addiction threaten to unravel everything he's rebuilt, Jesse must confront the pain he's spent a lifetime outrunning.

Spanning the 1980s and 1990s, Regrip is a story of resilience, forgiveness, and the unsteady art of starting over. Heart-rending yet full of grace, it reminds us that healing isn't about holding on-it's about finding the courage to reach again.
