Book excerpt: More than a century has passed since Theodore Roosevelt was in the White House, but he still continues to fascinate. He became a war hero, reformed the NYPD, busted the largest railroad and oil trusts, passed the Pure Food and Drug Act, created national parks and forests, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and built the Panama Canal—to name just a few.Yet it was the cause he championed the hardest—America's entry in to WWI—that would ultimately divide and destroy him. His youngest son, Quentin, his favorite, would die in an air fight. How does looking at Theodore's relationship with his son, and understanding him as a father, tell us something new about this larger-than-life-man? Does it reveal a more human side? A more hypocritical side? Or simply, if tragically, a nature so surprisingly sensitive, despite the bluster, that he would die of a broken heart?Roosevelt's own history of boyhood illnesses made him so aware of was like to be a child in pain, that he could not bear the thought of his own children suffering. The Roosevelts were a family of pillow-fights, pranks, and "scary bear." And it was the baby, Quentin—the frailest—who worried his father the most. Yet in the end, it was he who would display, in his brief life, the most intellect and courage of all.

Book excerpt: The gate clicked and she was there. She had never looked so frail, so provocative; she had never been more purposeful or less desirous of admiration. They went in. Lily was genuinely pleased; after the rambling ruin at home, impossible to keep in order even for more industrious hands than hers, the compact, neat little home was delightful. She thought how easy the work would be. She was not meant for the hardy magnificence of manual labour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jackie quit professional baseball twice. The first time was in 1959, at the height of his career. He had been named an American League MVP, had appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and had led the league three times in RBIs and in stolen bases or stolen base average. Traded from the Yankees to play with the Senators, then the Red Sox, Jackie's name appeared twenty-six times in the record books among the top five players in various categories. Jackie returned to baseball in 1961, but quit for the last time after the season ended." "The real story of Jackie Jensen lies in how he handled adversity, how he helped others and others aided him, how he lived with difficult - often wrong - decisions, and how his character set him apart from other athletes. This biography follows Jack not only through his collegiate and professional sports careers, but also as he grew up during the Depression in Oakland, twice married and divorced an Olympic diving champion, plummeted from wealth to poverty, and finally found his niche as a tree farmer and a coach at a private school in rural Virginia."--BOOK JACKET.
