Описание: On the 100th anniversary of The Volstead Act taking effect comes the epic, definitive story of the man who cracked the Prohibition system and helped inspire The Great Gatsby." Batchelor] makes this flashy bootlegger sound like a folk hero...Behold the king." --New York Times Book Review"It's all here: murder, mayhem--and high-priced hooch." --David Pietrusza, author of 1920 In October 1919, Congress gave teeth to Prohibition. But the law didn't stop George Remus from amassing a fortune equivalent to billions today. As one journalist put it, "Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil." The Bourbon King breathes life into America's largest illegal booze operation--greater than that of Al Capone--and a man considered the best criminal defense lawyer of his era. Remus cracked the system by purchasing an empire of distilleries on Kentucky's "Bourbon Trail" and using his other profession, as a pharmacist, to profit off legal loopholes. He stole, bribed, and partied, a roaring lifestyle epitomizing the Jazz Age over which he ruled. That is, before he came crashing down in one of American history's most sensational murder cases in: a cheating wife, the G-man who seduced her and jailed Remus, and the plunder of a Bourbon Empire. Remus murdered his wife in cold blood and then shocked a nation, winning his freedom based on a condition he invented--temporary maniacal insanity. Love, murder, political intrigue, mountains of cash, and rivers of bourbon...the tale of George Remus is a grand spectacle, and a lens into the dark heart of Prohibition and the mastermind behind one of its richest rackets. "Larger-than-life characters take the reins of this story, a rip-roaring good time for any American history buff or true-crime fan." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

Описание: After finding myself pregnant at seventeen, I continued my college course right up until the day my son was born. Assuming I would just go back home after the birth, I suddenly found myself in the hospital with nowhere to go after my mother informed the hospital that I could not return home. With the help of a marvellous social worker, Peter Unwin, my son and I found a home where we could build a life together. I was a single mum for many years and along the way discovered that the most important thing in life to me is being a mum. I was desperate to be a good one too. Having battled low self-esteem throughout most of my life, I found I could express myself through writing poetry. I have always enjoyed writing and now feel ready to share some of that with others. I find writing to be very cathartic. It's like a form of therapy for me. This book covers my life experiences, thoughts and feelings in poetic form. It deals with topics such as self-esteem, death, marriage and violation with a bit of humour thrown in too. This book outlines my life, who I am and where I came from. I strongly believe that our childhood shapes us and our whole future. I am passionate about good parenting. It can be difficult at times, but we have to try and get it right. It's a balance, like walking a tightrope. We get one chance. I hope you will enjoy my book, as there is something in here for everyone, including the mysterious Lady Isobel

In Penny Candy and Other Stories, Trisha Batchelorexploits the strengths of a literary form rarely published today--the short story. The title story captures the longing of a child affected by her father's absence. In "More Than Lovely" two families though divided along class lines are bonded by a long-hidden secret. "Righteous" explores the familial entanglements that can exist within small towns and how seemingly irreparable mistakes can be made right. In "Millie's Song," a young woman emerges intact from a life of recklessness through an unexpected divine alliance. "Paul and Silas" shows how tragedy can force us to face our past. "Jealousy" depicts the connection between siblings in a family fractured by their transient fathers. In "The Station" reality is questioned through the mysterious journey of a group of strangers.
With insight and sensitivity, Batchelor addresses in these seven stories the themes of redemption, matters of the heart, and how the vulnerable extend love within complex family systems.

Автор: Howard Lois Batchelor Название: Captured Passions ISBN: 153207445X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781532074455 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 12870.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Can anyone ever truly capture someone else's passion? Lois Batchelor Howard has done just that. With keen insight, she vividly captures and expresses human emotions in her story of Gus, the kidnapper, and the two women he captures to be with him in his castle. Adrianna is an artist, Belle a musician. It is a postwar saga set in the 1940s Los Angeles and an island in Hawaii, a vital part of the story. There never is a dull moment. How it involves Auschwitz and becomes a love story of three different couples will steal your heart. Jack K. Paquette, whose books include A Boy's Journey Through the Great Depression, expresses that he has long been entranced by the piquant writings of Lois Batchelor Howard, finding them thought-stirring, often invigorating, and ever a delight to read. Ursula K. Le Guin, a prolific author, inferred in her Dancing at the Edge of the World that readers are vital. Reading, they bring the words to life and the story then lives.
