Download or read book Channeling Audrey Hepburn written by D. M. MacKinnon and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Patricia Ryan. An intelligent, beautiful, and elegant twenty-seven-year-old woman. She is a legal secretary for a highly successful Boston law firm, where life and the lawyers are crushing her hopes and dreams. Patricia is single, with no boyfriend and little chance of meeting one as the five lawyers she reports to work her an average of sixty hours per week. Coupled with that is the fact that she is the sole support of her mother and grandmother, who live with her in a small apartment in a triple-decker in Boston. She needs an escape to hope…now. As a ten-year-old girl, Patricia helped her mom to get over her dad walking out on them by watching an Audrey Hepburn film. Ironically, since blossoming into a woman, Patricia was often told she bore an uncanny resemblance to Audrey Hepburn—a comparison that her insecurities and good manners had her instantly denying to all who mentioned it. At the end of a particularly grueling work week, she meets Tom Harris, the new, very handsome, single, and very successful partner who has been assigned to her. Later that same day, she takes her best friend Maureen to an Audrey Hepburn film festival being held under the stars on Boston Common. By the end of the evening, Patricia has an epiphany, which allows her to see her only escape to hope. She instantly makes a “crazy” decision that will blast her out of her dream-crushing rut and lead her—and her best friend Maureen—on the romantic misadventure of a lifetime.

Download or read book Mobituaries written by Mo Rocca and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From beloved CBS Sunday Morning correspondent and humorist Mo Rocca, a rigorously researched, “funny and smart” (Jon Stewart) book that celebrates the dead people who have long fascinated him. Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries—reading about the remarkable lives of global leaders, Hollywood heavyweights, and innovators who changed the world. But not every notable life has gotten the send-off it deserves. His quest to right that wrong inspired Mobituaries, his #1 hit podcast. But here, in this “delightful, hilarious romp through history” (Booklist) he has gone much further, with all-new essays on artists, entertainers, sports stars, political pioneers, founding fathers, and more. Even if you know the names, you’ve never understood why they matter...until now. Take Herbert Hoover: before he was president, he was the “Great Humanitarian,” the man who saved tens of millions from starvation. But after less than a year in the White House, the stock market crashed, and all the good he had done seemed to be forgotten. Then there’s Marlene Dietrich, well remembered as a screen goddess, less remembered as a great patriot. Alongside servicemen on the front lines during World War II, she risked her life to help defeat the Nazis of her native Germany. And what about Billy Carter and history’s unruly presidential brothers? Were they ne’er-do-well liabilities…or secret weapons? Plus, Mobits for dead sports teams, dead countries, the dearly departed station wagon, and dragons. Yes, dragons. Rocca is an expert researcher and storyteller who offers “joy for curious minds” (Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci), and with his dogged reporting and trademark wit, he brings these men and women back to life like no one else can. “In our fact-challenged times, Rocca’s joyful tour through the didja know’s of history is an unexpected antidote” (The New Yorker).

Hepburn's experiences in wartime, including the murder of family members, her survival through combat and starvation conditions, and work on behalf of the Dutch Resistance, gave her the determination to become a humanitarian for UNICEF and the fearlessness to charge into war-torn countries in the Third World on behalf of children and their mothers in desperate need. She set the standard for celebrity humanitarians and--according to her son Luca Dotti--ultimately gave her life for the causes she espoused.

Izzie Silver—a warmhearted Irishwoman with a mane of chestnut hair and a zest for life—is a New York success story, a highly successful booking agent at a top-notch modeling agency. But while she dreams of starting an agency for plus-sized models, at heart she's still the convent schoolgirl from the exquisite Irish coastal town of Tamarin. Which is why falling in love with a married man is something Izzie couldn't possibly imagine herself doing—until it happens. And it's something she feels she could never tell her beloved family. Meanwhile, back in Tamarin, there's heartache, too. Izzie's aunt Anneliese is trying to hide her pain at her husband's betrayal of their marriage. And Lily—family matriarch and still feisty despite being nearly ninety—is taken ill. In her hospital bed, she reveals a tantalizing hint of a secret she has kept for decades, from her time as a 1930s servant girl at the local big house, before she ran off to London during World War Two to train as a nurse. Will the family be torn apart by the secrets they can't reveal...or will they have the courage to share their heartbreak and their joy?
