This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Hegan Rice, who published as Alice Caldwell Hegan, was born on January 11th, 1870, in Shelbyville, Kentucky. As a child, her natural creative talents ensured she would always be able to entertain family members with impromptu stories. She had her first article published in a local magazine whilst she was still only 15. Her well-to-do upbringing was brought into focus while helping a Sunday School that was in a slum in Louisville called the "Cabbage Patch". A group of troublesome boys disrupted the session, but Alice was able to calm matters by telling them a made-up story. Such was their appetite that she continued this with further outlandish tales of pirates and gangsters. This introduction to the world of poverty and the underprivileged was, in effect, life changing. It would also later become the basis for her novel, 'Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch'. The novel became the best-selling book of 1902. It was turned into a play and filmed four times in the years that followed. Such was her popularity that many of her works were translated into German, French, Danish, and Swedish, and three turned into plays. Alice married Cale Young Rice, a poet and playwright, on December 18th, 1902. Much of their time was spent travelling the world, they were also a well-respected couple on the New York and London literary scenes. Alice's Aunt Fannie, who was a teacher in Japan during the early 1900's, had written to her often with her views and insights into Japan and its War with Russia in 1904-05. It was Alice's idea to turn the letters into a book. She removed all the personal identifying details and created the pseudonym Frances Little. The title came from the children she taught who called her their 'Lady of the Decoration' every time Fannie 'pinned on her little enameled watch'. Alice's editing had turned her Aunt Fannie into the best-selling author of 1907. Alice's social activism drove her to help improve the working and living conditions of the poor, which brought about the founding of the Cabbage Patch Settlement House in Louisville in 1910. Alice Caldwell Hegan died on February 10th, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Book excerpt: “As juicy and enlightening as a page in Meghan Markle's diary.”—InStyle “Presidential darling, America’s sweetheart, national rebel: Teddy Roosevelt’s swashbuckling daughter Alice springs to life in this raucous anthem to a remarkable woman.”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Huntress A sweeping novel from renowned author Stephanie Marie Thornton... Alice may be the president's daughter, but she's nobody's darling. As bold as her signature color Alice Blue, the gum-chewing, cigarette-smoking, poker-playing First Daughter discovers that the only way for a woman to stand out in Washington is to make waves—oceans of them. With the canny sophistication of the savviest politician on the Hill, Alice uses her celebrity to her advantage, testing the limits of her power and the seductive thrill of political entanglements. But Washington, DC is rife with heartaches and betrayals, and when Alice falls hard for a smooth-talking congressman it will take everything this rebel has to emerge triumphant and claim her place as an American icon. As Alice soldiers through the devastation of two world wars and brazens out a cutting feud with her famous Roosevelt cousins, it's no wonder everyone in the capital refers to her as the Other Washington Monument—and Alice intends to outlast them all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1902 New York, Alice Roosevelt, the bright, passionate, and wildly unconventional daughter of newly sworn-in President Theodore Roosevelt, is placed under the supervision of Secret Service Agent Joseph St. Clair, ex-cowboy and veteran of the Rough Riders. St. Clair quickly learns that half his job is helping Alice roll cigarettes and escorting her to bookies, but matters grow even more difficult when Alice takes it upon herself to investigate a recent political killing—the assassination of former president William McKinley. Concerned for her father's safety, Alice seeks explanations for the many unanswered questions about the avowed anarchist responsible for McKinley's death. In her quest, Alice drags St. Clair from grim Bowery bars to the elegant parlors of New York's ruling class, from the haunts of the Chinese secret societies to the magnificent new University Club, all while embarking on a tentative romance with a family friend, the son of a prominent local household. And while Alice, forced to challenge those who would stop at nothing in their greed for money and power, considers her uncertain future, St. Clair must come to terms with his own past in Alice and the Assassin, the first in R. J. Koreto's riveting new historical mystery series.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany's (American, 1848-1933) extraordinary country estate in Oyster Bay, New York, completed in 1905, was the epitome of Tiffany's achievement and in many ways defined this multifaceted artist. Tiffany designed every aspect of the project inside and out, creating a total aesthetic environment. This publication accompanies an exhibition that reveals Tiffany's most personal art, bringing into focus this remarkable artist who lavished as much care and creativity on the design and furnishing of his home and gardens as he did on all the wide-ranging media in which he worked. Although the house tragically burned to the ground in 1957, many of its surviving architectural elements and interior characteristics are included in this volume. Also featured are Tiffany's personal collections of his own work-breathtaking stained-glass windows, paintings, glass and ceramic vases-as well as the artist's collections of Japanese, Chinese, and Native American works of art. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.

Book excerpt: Told in interconnecting stories, Ballroom is a beautifully crafted debut novel—reminiscent of the works of Elizabeth Strout and Jennifer Haigh—about a group of strangers united by a desire to escape their complicated lives, if only for a few hours each week, in a faded New York City dance hall. Time has eroded the glamour of the Ballroom, but at the end of the 1990s, a small crowd of loyal patrons still makes its way past the floor-to-ceiling columns which frame the once grand hall each Sunday evening. Sweeping across the worn parquet floor under a peeling indigo ceiling, these men and women succumb to the magic of the music, looking for love and connection, eager to erase the drab reality of their complicated lives. Nearly forty and still single, Sarah Dreyfus is desperate for love and sure she’ll find it with debonair Gabriel Katz, a dazzling peacock who dances to distract himself from his crumbling marriage. Tired of the bachelor life, Joseph believes that his yearning for a wife and family will be fulfilled—if only he can get Sarah to notice him. Besotted with beautiful young Maria Rodriguez, elderly dance instructor Harry Korn knows they can find happiness together. Maria, one of the Ballroom’s stars, has a dream of her own, a passion her broken-hearted father refuses to accept or understand. As the rhythms of the Ballroom ebb and flow through these characters’ hearts, their fates come together in touching, unexpected ways.
