Book excerpt: When eighteen-year-old Lady Catriona Mackintosh discovers a wounded man in the forest near her Highland home, little does she know that he has sworn a sacred oath to kill her father and other members of the powerful Highland confederation known as Clan Chattan. Nor does she realize that she has met her soul mate. Independent, competent, intelligent, fiercely proud of her heritage, determined always to live near her own family, and known to her family as the "wee wildcat" because of her quick temper, Catriona is the daughter of a Highland chieftain and granddaughter of the even more powerful Chief (or Captain) of Clan Chattan. But her life changes forever when she persuades Sir Finlagh Cameron to return with her to her home to recover from his wounds. Sir Finlagh "Fin" Cameron is on a mission for the heir to Scotland's throne, who has sent him to the Highlands to persuade the Chief of Clan Chattan to arrange a secret meeting for him with two other great lords (the Lord of the Isles and the Lord of the North). Until Fin meets Catriona, however, he has no idea that her father was the Clan Chattan war leader who led them in the battle that wiped out many of Clan Cameron's best warriors, including Fin's own father. The sole survivor of that battle, Fin accepted a bequest of vengeance from his dying father, providing him with a dilemma to face as he begins to fall in love with Catriona. He is not the only one enticed by her charms, either. There are two other contenders, one of whom is his own master, the heir to Scotland's throne. With royal mischief afoot, if Catriona and Fin are ever to find happiness, they must first avoid disaster that could change Scotland's history, and find ways to be open and honest with each other.

Download or read book Golden Clan written by John Corry and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Corry’s chronicle of the Murrays and the McDonnells is the quintessential story of a successful Irish American clan—perhaps the most successful in sheer numbers and influence. Thomas E. Murray, the patriarch, was born in 1860 in Albany, New York. At his death in 1929, he left $9 million, eight children, forty-eight grandchildren, and a record of industrial accomplishment ranging from 1,110 patented inventions to the consolidation of Con Edison. His faith never left him. Murray’s children, the “lace curtain” generation, nurtured, increased, and occasionally squandered the new wealth, made feudal marriages with the offspring of other Irish climbers, built great houses on Fifth Avenue and the shore, and a tight, exclusive society upon the twin rocks of Catholicism and respectability. A third generation was raised in the great houses, convent schools, and the Southampton “compound” (prototype for the parvenu Kennedys’ in Hyannis). Their inevitable entry into secular society found them ill-prepared: marriages with a Ford and Vanderbilt ended in failure. The most recent crop of Murray-McDonnells moves in St. Tropez and St. Mortiz, scenes of the celebrated Charlotte Food–Starvos Niarchos liaison. The author remarks and regrets the loss-through-assimilation of what was distinctively Irish in this and other great families, closing with a memorable firsthand portrait of the indomitable Anna Murray McDonnell. Corry’s history of the “golden clan” is set against the larger context of the Irish experience in America: tales of Colonial grandees and early nineteenth-century “fashionables”; how the historic emigrations radically changed the nation’s perception of the Irish; how families like the Murrays and the McDonnells came by their values and passed them on; fascinating details of the relationship between the rich Irish and their clergy. Writing with their proper shade of a lilt, John Corry offers a fond and discerning view of a great American Irish family that “arrived”— and never looked back.

Eric Murray was the youngest of his brothers, determined to gain his rightful inheritance after thirteen years of bitter dispute with his father’s family. Starting out alone to confront his tight‐fisted kinsmen, he encountered a chestnut‐haired beauty set upon by thieves. When she begged for Eric’s protection for herself and her infant nephew, Eric promised to deliver them to the safety of her family.

Still, Eric Murray was Bethia’s only hope of escaping her ruthless kin who planned to kill her and her orphaned nephew, and claim their inherited land. Then Bethia learned that Eric, too, was seeking land and coin from his own kin—her family’s closest allies. How could she love a man she might one day be forced to stand against?

Download or read book Facing Reality written by Charles Murray and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that are tearing the country apart fIoat free of reality. Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities. What good can come of bringing them into the open? America’s most precious ideal is what used to be known as the American Creed: People are not to be judged by where they came from, what social class they come from, or by race, color, or creed. They must be judged as individuals. The prevailing Progressive ideology repudiates that ideal, demanding instead that the state should judge people by their race, social origins, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. We on the center left and center right who are the American Creed’s natural defenders have painted ourselves into a corner. We have been unwilling to say openly that different groups have significant group differences. Since we have not been willing to say that, we have been left defenseless against the claims that racism is to blame. What else could it be? We have been afraid to answer. We must. Facing Reality is a step in that direction.
