Описание: Alice Nielsen was a magnetic stage presence starring in Broadway, grand opera, and concerts. Her mom an Irish musician, her dad a Danish troubadour, Alice combined Irish techniques with Italian bel canto. Born in Nashville, raised in Kansas City, she took the vaudeville trail to San Francisco, became a star in "Satanella" at Tivoli, a national star for The Bostonians in Victor Herbert's 1896 "Serenade." In 1901 Nielsen jumped to grand opera in Italy and at Covent Garden, singing Mozart and Puccini with Caruso, giving joint concerts with Duse. Boston Opera was built for her in 1909. Famed as America's greatest lyric soprano, this is her first biography. Discover how Nielsen became Americana. OOn Tuesday night she sang Lucia, on Wednesday evening she sang Marguerite, on Thursday evening she was Mimi, giving a portrait in harmony that will endure as long as the memories of those who heard and saw her," wrote Otheman Stevens, Los Angeles. 2017 Revised with new revelations.

Ladonis Washington, a bold, smart, and ambitious Black woman, dreams of becoming the first female vice president of the Floating Palace Steamboat Company in New Orleans where she works as the director of public relations.
The charter sales coordinator and Ladonis's workplace nemesis, Bunnie Sinclair, is accused of killing the richest man in town. Now, Ladonis has to protect her company from the tarnish of a high-profile murder case. She asks an old friend, who is a renowned lawyer to defend Bunnie. The lawyer in turn asks Ladonis to take on the role of private investigator to secure the evidence he believes will clear Bunnie.
In the midst of this mess, Ladonis learns her mother is deathly ill and hurricane Katrina is bearing down on New Orleans. Now, more than ever, Ladonis has to call upon that steely determination that helped her attain her corporate ambitions to face these new life and death obstacles.
