All this comes about, with the help from Special FBI Agents Lenard and Gene, who arrange for Ellen's uncharacteristic new housing situation. With no money left to renovate the atrocious house, the abundance of fine antiques and collectable objects turn out to be an unexpected source of income, but it won't come soon enough.

Download or read book The Yanks Are Starving written by Glen Craney and published by Brigid's Fire Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 908 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two armies. One flag. No honor. The darkest day in American history. "[A] wonderful source of historical fact wrapped in a compelling novel....will both teach and entertain." -- Historical Novel Society Former political journalist Glen Craney has enthralled readers with novels set during the medieval crusades and Scottish wars of independence. Now the award-winning author brings to life the little-known story of the Bonus March of 1932, which culminated in a shocking clash between thousands of homeless veterans and U.S. Army regulars on the streets of the nation's capital. "[A] vivid picture of not only men being deprived of their veterans' rights, but of their human rights as well.... Craney performs a valuable service by chronicling it in this admirable book." — MILITARY WRITERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA "Craney has written an outstanding social and military historical novel of the United States." — MARINE VETERAN JOSEPH SPUCKLER * * * Foreword Book-of-the-Year Finalist Historical Fiction * * * * * * indieBRAG Medallion * * * * * * Chaucer Award Finalist * * * Mired in the Great Depression, the United States teeters on the brink of revolution. And the nation holds its collective breath as a rail-riding hobo leads 20,000 fellow World War I veterans on a desperate quest for justice to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. This timely epic evokes the historical novels of Jeff Sharra as it sweeps across three decades with eight Americans from different backgrounds who survive the fighting in France and come together again, fourteen years later, to determine the fate of a country threatened by communism and fascism: — Herbert Hoover, the beleaguered president. — Douglas MacArthur, the ambitious general. — Pelham Glassford, the compassionate police chief. — Walter Waters, the troubled leader of the Bonus veterans. — Floyd Gibbons, the war correspondent and famous radio broadcaster. — Joe Angelo, the Italian-American who serves as George Patton's orderly. — Ozzie Taylor, the street musician turned Harlem Hellfighter. — Anna Raber, the Mennonite nurse. We follow these men and women from the Boxer Rebellion in China to the Plain of West Point, from the persecution of conscientious objectors in the Midwest to the horrors of the Marne in France, and from the Hoovervilles of the heartland to the pitiful Anacostia encampment in the bowels of the District of Columbia. Here is an alarming portrayal of the political intrigue and government betrayal that ignited the only violent conflict between two American armies under the same flag. "One of the best and most memorable books I have ever read." — MARINE VETERAN NATHAN MERCER "Craney combines the visual imagery of a screenwriter and the objectivity of a journalist with the passions of a writer... [E]ssential reading for those who found truth and beauty co-existent in the works of John Steinbeck and John Dos Passos." — LINDA ROOT, REVIEW GROUP UK "[I] know of no other fiction writer who has made this brave, tragic protest movement the main theme of a novel, until now. Glen Craney deserves praise for recognizing the significance and dramatic potential of the Bonus Army story." — THE COMPULSIVE READER START READING THE YANKS ARE STARVING TODAY.

Download or read book The Roxy Letters written by Mary Pauline Lowry and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Roxy. For fans of Where’d You Go, Bernadette and Bridget Jones’s Diary comes “just the kind of comic novel we need right now” (The Washington Post) about an Austin artist trying to figure out her life one letter to her ex-boyfriend at a time. Bridget Jones penned a diary; Roxy writes letters. Specifically: she writes letters to her hapless, rent-avoidant ex-boyfriend—and current roommate—Everett. This charming and funny twenty-something is under-employed (and under-romanced), and she’s decidedly fed up with the indignities she endures as a deli maid at Whole Foods (the original), and the dismaying speed at which her beloved Austin is becoming corporatized. When a new Lululemon pops up at the intersection of Sixth and Lamar where the old Waterloo Video used to be, Roxy can stay silent no longer. As her letters to Everett become less about overdue rent and more about the state of her life, Roxy realizes she’s ready to be the heroine of her own story. She decides to team up with her two best friends to save Austin—and rescue Roxy’s love life—in whatever way they can. But can this spunky, unforgettable millennial keep Austin weird, avoid arrest, and find romance—and even creative inspiration—in the process?
