No stone is left unturned in this candid memoir by one of Canada’s greatest curlers. From the first slides as a toddler at her hometown Winnipeg curling club to the top step of the Olympic podium, Jennifer Jones has risen to become one of curling’s greatest players. Along the way, she has altered how the game is played and has kicked open doors to allow women to have equality in what was, traditionally, a male-dominated sport.
Her record of achievement is unmatched, but it never came easily. In Rock Star, Jones opens up about the tensions between teammates and opponents, how she combined law school and a legal career with curling at the highest level, the inside story on what many consider the greatest shot in curling history, how her Olympic dream almost ended on a ski hill in Switzerland, and the challenges of balancing world-class curling with motherhood. Equal parts inspiring and shocking, Rock Star will leave readers in awe of her accomplishments and the journey that led her to become the person she is today.
JENNIFER JONES is a curling icon, widely regarded as the greatest female curler of all time. A two-time Olympian and 2014 Olympic Gold medallist, she dominated the sport with six national titles, two world championships, and an astounding sixteen Grand Slam victories. In 2023, she added a Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship to her legendary career. Off the ice, Jennifer is a lawyer, corporate leader, and sought-after motivational speaker.
