Paperback. James "Jimbo" Winslow is the football golden boy of a forgotten Tennessee town in the Appalachian Mountains. But growing up in an abusive home leaves a mark, and his mother's twisted love drives him to a violent act that nearly destroys his future.A last-minute scholarship pulls him from his hometown just as it threatens to swallow him whole. Leaving comes at a cost, though, as he abandons his high school sweetheart, and when a brutal injury ends his NFL dreams, Jimbo is left untethered.With his mother's violent warning to never return home, Jimbo drifts to Hollywood, where ambition turns corrosive. Chewed up by the city's underbelly, reduced to selling his body to survive, and ultimately landing in jail, Jimbo loses every illusion he once believed about success, love, and himself.Spit back out and broken, he finally returns to Tennessee, where his mother's sudden tenderness feels like another cage, and her new husband dredges up memories of his absent father. Jimbo, faced with the demons he's run from his entire life, must decide if he's ready to face the woman he abandoned and the small town that both raised and ruined him.The Used Parts of Jimbo Winslow is a raw, darkly funny, and devastating coming-of-age novel about what dies in the cracks where love should've grown and the fierce, perilous grace of offering your heart anyway-even when loving someone means cutting loose a piece of yourself and laying it in their hands.For readers of Demon Copperhead, Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream, The Prince of Tides, and Jesus' Son.Travis Johns is a former Wake Forest University football player whose career-ending injury redirected him toward storytelling. After studying English literature, art, and theatre in London, he built a thirty-year career in Los Angeles as an actor, director, novelist, and screenwriter, with work developed by Academy Award-winning filmmakers and Broadway creatives. He lives in Los Angeles with his family. Jimbo Winslow escapes an abusive Appalachian childhood on a football scholarship, only to lose everything in Hollywood's dark underbelly. Broken, he returns home to face the town, the woman, and the past he tried to outrun. This item is printed on demand.

"In his debut novel, The Used Parts of Jimbo Winslow, Travis Johns puts the feed down where the chickens can get at it, and delivers a beautiful, plain-spoken story that leaves us standing between heartbreak and hope."—Richard Thomas, Emmy Award-winning actor, "John-Boy" in The Waltons
James “Jimbo” Winslow is the football golden boy of a forgotten Tennessee town in the Appalachian Mountains, but growing up in an abusive home leaves scars he can’t outrun.
A chance at escape pulls him away just as the town threatens to swallow him whole. With a fresh start and a full scholarship, Jimbo is on his way. Until a life-threatening injury stops him cold. Adrift and far from home, Jimbo’s search for success and belonging drags him all the way to Hollywood, and through some of the darkest corners of his own ambition and desire, stripping away every illusion he’s held about who he is and what he deserves.
When he finally returns to Tennessee, he finds a home that feels both familiar and foreign, a born-again mother he can’t entirely trust, and ghosts from his past he can’t ignore. Forced to confront the people he left and the boy he used to be, Jimbo must decide whether he can forgive, be forgiven, and risk love again in the place that both raised and ruined him.
The Used Parts of Jimbo Winslow is a raw, darkly funny, and devastating coming‑of‑age novel about the damage done where love should have been, and the dangerous, defiant hope of loving anyway, even if it costs you a part of yourself.
For readers of Demon Copperhead, Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream, The Art of Fielding, The Prince of Tides, and Jesus’ Son.
