Описание: Half Broke Horses is Laura Ingalls Wilder for adults, as riveting and dramatic as Isak Dinesen's Out of Africa or Beryl Markham's West with the Night. Destined to become a classic, it will transfix readers everywhere. "Those old cows knew trouble was coming before we did." So begins the story of Lily Casey Smith, Jeannette Walls's no-nonsense, resourceful, and spectacularly compelling grandmother. By age six, Lily was helping her father break horses. At fifteen, she left home to teach in a frontier town--riding five hundred miles on her pony, alone, to get to her job. She learned to drive a car and fly a plane. And, with her husband, Jim, she ran a vast ranch in Arizona. She raised two children, one who is Jeannette's memorable mother, Rosemary Smith Walls, unforgettably portrayed in The Glass Castle. Lily survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Great Depression, and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy. She bristled at prejudice of all kinds--against women, Native Americans, and anyone else who didn't fit the mold. Rosemary Smith Walls always told Jeannette that she was like her grandmother, and in this true-life novel, Jeannette Walls channels that kindred spirit. Half Broke Horses is Laura Ingalls Wilder for adults, as riveting and dramatic as Isak Dinesen's Out of Africa or Beryl Markham's West with the Night. Destined to become a classic, it will transfix readers everywhere.

Описание:
Are things always like they seem? For Toni Melton, an acclaimed, nationally recognized, ambitious, outspoken journalist of the famous column, Toni Talk, and her illustrious husband, Ron Joyner, a criminal defense attorney who has ambitions of his own, the answer is quite shocking. Just when they are at the top of their professions, Toni, on the verge of winning a prestigious award, and Ron becoming a partner of his law firm, a detrimental article appears in Toni Talk, causing Ron to become faced with the reality of a lawsuit, disbarment, and unemployment, which is about to change their lives forever
While they struggle to regain honesty and stability in their marriage, few people around them can offer support. Toni's co-worker, Mason Whittaker, has hurdles to cross of his own when he finds himself in an extramarital affair. Toni's closest friend, Angel Scott, is faced with a tragedy in her home, which upsets her peaceful world as she knows it. Ron's best friend, Travis Bland, is kept out of the mix of things until Ron and Toni analyze exactly who can be trusted. Toni's family is no help either; she has a mother who she feels hates her, and a father who's married to someone else. Ron's family is no better. His sister Melissa is falling for Ron's rival, Simon Kennedy; and Ron's father and mother are forced to deal with their oldest son who lost hope after losing his medical license. Toni and Ron's love is tested and tried to the ultimate level of deception, betrayal, and lust while they are forced to deal with it on their own
Lurma Swinney takes you through a series of mishaps, twists and turns that will leave you guessing all the way, anxiously awaiting to turn the page. Lurma Swinney's unique style in Toni Talk, as in her earlier novels, Consequences, Sister Lucy, SisterLucy II (Kip & Lucy), and Single Mom, will have you riveting through the lives and entanglements of everyday folks. In this case; the press and the legal world. You will be left with a breath-taking burning desire to reach the end, while keeping in mind that things are not always like they seem

Описание: I've been trying to help women have better lives, using the laws we already have. But what if the laws are wrong, or don't go far enough? So was the thinking of Jeannette Rankin before she decided to run for Congress, years before most women even had the right to vote. Growing up a small-town girl in Montana, Jeannette showed courage and initiative, helping to run her family's ranch and daring to go to university at a time when most women did not even finish high school. She was bright and well-educated, but it wasn't until a visit to her brother in Boston -- where she glimpsed the harsh realities that women and children faced in the slums -- that she knew what she wanted to do with her life. Immediately she got to work, helping in settlement houses and working with orphaned children, but Jeannette wanted to give women the power to better their own lives -- so she shifted her focus to suffrage and ran for Congress. On November 9, 1916, Jeannette Rankin became the first woman to win a seat in the House of Representatives. While in office, she continued her fight for women's rights and also bravely advocated for peace during World War I. Jeannette Rankin was a true pioneer in women's rights and an undeniable force behind the peace movement in America. In this historical account, Marx's candid text and Andreasen's finely detailed illustrations work together to capture the strength and spirit of one of America's most inspirational leaders.
