A compelling biography of a British–born young lady who in 1961, at the age of twenty-three, contracted a rare nerve disease (myasthenia gravis) which eventually left her unable to move any body part, except for slight movements in her big toes. To most, she presented a hopeless case, but not to Hilary and not to a young medical researcher who designed a novel communication system featuring an electric typewriter and other sensitive electronics which allowed Hilary to not only to communicate with the outside world, but to control other elements of her life such as the ability to turn on and off a radio. Hilary was soon able to connect with visitors, caregivers and family, hold meetings, plan outings, and compose beautiful and emotionally inspiring poetry just to mention some of her accomplishments! Her family and friends were astonished to find one of the bravest persons that anyone could ever imagine — an individual with a remarkable mind and an awe-inspiring, unbroken spirit. Hilary chronicles her life from early childhood through her teenage years, through college and a few romances along the way until the diagnosis. Her extraordinary journey during the course of this frightening and disabling disease is presented as a testament to an indomitable and uplifting spirit.

(Lady Washington, America’s First First Lady, a work of hi...)
Lady Washington, America’s First First Lady, a work of historical fiction offers new insight into the private lives and public times of the legendary George and Martha Washington. Martha won a rebel nation’s heart in recognition of the courage and self-sacrifice she consistently displayed during the Revolution’s turmoil and the early years of peace. She lovingly became known as “Lady Washington.” Martha’s pampered plantation upbringing, her marriage at eighteen, the tragic loss of two children, and widowhood at twenty-seven is recounted with accuracy and compassion. Her momentous first meeting with the heroic George Washington and their subsequent inspiring forty-year marriage is rich in the details of their love and otherwise fascinating lives. Martha loved all people and was a gracious hostess as First Lady and mistress of Mount Vernon. George and Martha’s ongoing relationships with Thomas Jefferson, the Marquis de Lafayette, John and Abigail Adams and Dolley and James Madison and others play integral parts throughout the book. How Martha became America’s favorite First Lady is a narrative resplendent with drama and romance. Drawing upon never before published correspondence between George and Martha, Lady Washington provides a behind-the-scenes realism of the formative years of our country.

(A brilliant work of biblical fiction by Dorothy Clarke Wi...)
A brilliant work of biblical fiction by Dorothy Clarke Wilson, Moses, The Prince of Egypt was immediately embraced by the public when first published in 1949 (as Prince of Egypt). The novel became an inspiration for the 1956 film, The Ten Commandments -- now a classic in its own right. It is a wonderfully entertaining and well-researched story of Moses from his teenage years through early manhood when he rejects his royal lifestyle upon learning of his Hebrew birth and becomes a shepherd among his own people. After centuries of slavery and bondage, with God’s help, Moses eventually leads the Jewish people to freedom. Moses, the Prince of Egypt became a favorite of reader’s, selling more than 500,000 copies worldwide and has truly achieved the status of a modern classic.

Much has been written about Theodore Roosevelt from his carrer in New York politics to his conservationism to his Rough Riders to his Presidency to his disgust of his hand-picked Presidential successor Taft to his "Bull-Moose" third party to his final days but this book fills a very important part largely ignored - his two wives, Alice & Edith Roosevelt. A well-written & equally well-researched biographical novel of the two woman who shared his life. Surprisingly the two women couldn't have been more different. Edith was quiet, reserved, serious-minded, always in tight control of her emotions while Alice was vivacious, warm, and outgoing, her nickname summed her up, "Sunshine." An excellent, entertaining historical novel that brings these two ladies to life as well as the period.
