Book excerpt: The life of Lady Desborough - beautiful heiress, aristocratic hostess, unfaithful wife, tragic mother, Edwardian icon. Born in 1867 and orphaned at three, Ettie Fane was brought up by a beloved grandmother and then two adoring, almost incestuous, bachelor uncles. At twenty she married Willy Grenfell, later Lord Desborough. Beautiful, rich, charming and clever, Ettie soon became a leading hostess at the two magnificent country houses she had inherited. Leading politicians, writers and artists were very much part of her circle. But there was a dark side too, as this book will reveal. Ettie could be manipulative and cruel. Her eldest son Julian, after a nervous breakdown at Oxford, rejected her world and values. Nemesis and tragedy were not far away. In 1915 Julian died of war wounds. Six weeks later her second son Billy was killed in action. Her youngest son Ivo would be killed shortly after the war. But despite intense private misery, she reacted with outward courage and self-mastery. Grief revealed the greatness of her spirit. In the 1920s and 1930s she continued to collect new types, especially gifted young men, relishing people of all ages up to her death in 1952, a redoutable survivor from a vanished age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Ettie Brogan dragged herself from the ruins to kneel beside her dying mother. Heartbroken, she assures her that she will take care of herself and be a good girl, and Ettie, alone in a world that overnight has become a chaotic, fearful place, set out to do just that. As a kitchen maid in the home of wealthy Sean O'Hara she soon endeared herself to O'Hara's cook, Bridget O'Connell. Bridget had just said goodbye to Sarah, a perfect employee until a Wells Fargo driver had his way with her, and Ettie appeared at just the right moment. Ettie begins a wonderful new life in the O'Hara household, and soon falls under the spell of Jimmy, O'Hara's cheeky coachman. These three servants form an enduring bond of love and friendship, but as Ettie blossoms into a beautiful young woman, naive and innocent, she learns to her cost that even those in high places, such as friends of the President, cannot always be trusted. Bridget, in an effort to preserve their way of life, takes things into her own hands and can only sit by and watch as her plans go terribly awry. And Ettie learns that even for the rich, life is not always perfect; she sees the mistress of the house deal with tragedy by resorting to the comfort found in little brown vials; Katie, O'Hara's beloved eldest daughter, is disowned because she falls in love with a man of unsuitable heritage; and two sons are expelled from a prestigious Boston school for lewd behavior. Then the household is rocked to its foundations by the arrival of O'Hara's sister, Agatha, an embittered spinster and sworn foe of Bridget O'Connell. Theresa, Katie’s sister, welcomes Agatha as an ally and learns from her aunt’s twisted views of the world. A tragedy briefly unites this household until dark secrets are revealed and once again tear it apart, and a stronger, wiser Ettie is forced to make a life-changing decision.

Book excerpt: When Jimmy Collins left America with his wife and baby, he returned to his native England seeking a better life for his family. His wife, Ettie, who was born in San Francisco and survived the 1906 earthquake, had no idea what fate had in store for her. She knew only that she had to escape from a hopeless love affair that had almost ruined her marriage. At least, she thought, in London the secret of her daughter’s birth would never be revealed. As an innocent little maid in the O’Hara household, Ettie had faced hardship and learned to be self-sufficient. Set down in the strange new world of London, England, there were new challenges to overcome. Her young husband survived the First World War in the navy, but was felled by the scourge of Spanish influenza that swept the world. Ettie was left to raise her daughter, Bridie, alone. Fleeing from an avaricious father-in-law, she found a position as a maid in the prestigious Castleton Hotel. Over the years, Ettie proved her worth and rose to the position of Housekeeper, enjoying a harmonious working relationship with the owner, Sir Albert Morrison. Content in her new life, Ettie’s world is suddenly turned upside-down by the arrival of Sean O’Hara and his wife. O’Hara, her ex-employee and one-time lover, has many business connections in London and has purchased the Castleton Hotel as his headquarters. Once again, Ettie’s comfortable existence is threatened, as Bridie is drawn into the life of wealth enjoyed by the O’Hara family. When Katherine O’Hara invites Bridie to accompany her back to San Francisco, Ettie is fearful that after 17 years, her past will catch up with her. Will her daughter learn the truth about her parentage?

This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ettie Rout fought a battle for safer sex in the First World War — and won. She gave New Zealand the best sexual health system when its army adopted her prophylactic kit and made every soldier going on leave take one — while she was banned from the pages of the newspapers so New Zealanders wouldn't find out. In Paris, having transformed Madame Yvonne's into a safer sex brothel, she met soldiers at the railway station and convinced them to go there if they chose to have sex. Armed with a wicked sense of humour, an intolerance of hypocrisy and boundless energy, Ettie Rout proved the case for safer sex decades before the term was coined — and the soldiers loved her for it. This book celebrates an unlikely heroine of the First World War who is now internationally recognised for waging a successful public health crusade. A woman way ahead of her time.

Book excerpt: "She was the 'guardian angel of the Anzacs', accordiong to a French veneriologist. To a bishop she wa sthe 'wickedest woman in Britain.' Soldiers described her as a saint. Their mothers regarded her as an 'agent of the devil.' Six decades before the term 'safe sex' was coined, Ettie Rout went to war to protect soldiers from venereal disease. In Paris she ran a complete social and sexual welfare service for the Amzac soldiers of World War One - collecting them on the station platform, guiding them to Madame Yvonne's brothel which she regularly inspected, looking after the sick and running a counselling service. Her prophylactic kit was adopted by both the New Zealand and Australian governments. But although all New Zealand soldiers going on leave were handfed a copy of her kit, her own couintry made her persona non grata. The French, on the other hand, awardedher the medal they struck for the English martyr Edith Cavell. ..."--Book flap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Making the "America of Art" demonstrates that beginning in the 1850s, women writers challenged the terms of the Scottish Common Sense philosophy, which had made artistic endeavors acceptable in the new Republic by subordinating aesthetic motivation to moral and educational goals. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Augusta Jane Evans drew on Ruskin to argue for the creation of a religiously based national aesthetic. In the postbellum years Louisa May Alcott, Rebecca Harding Davis, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, and Constance Fenimore Woolson continued the process in a series of writings that revolved around three central areas of concern: the place of the popular in the realm of high art; the role of the genius; and the legacy of the Civil War." "Sofer significantly revises the history of 19th-century American women's authorship by detailing the gradual process that produced women writers wholly identified with literary high culture at the century's end."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: The winds of change rush into the innocent world of six-year-old Lydia when her mother, Ettie, marries a man with a hidden agenda. The scoundrel, Chip, soon begins grooming Lydia to satisfy his twisted sexual desires. Lydia’s naiveté, combined with the subtlety of Chip’s advances, keeps young Lydia unaware of the mistreatment she is suffering at the hands of her own stepfather. The abuse continues in secret for nine long years. When a young man from church asks sixteen-year-old Lydia to be his girlfriend, she agrees. Chip’s subsequent jealousy provokes him into fits of rage. Ettie questions her daughter about why Chip may be targeting her with his anger and is shocked to hear Lydia’s response. Tackling her overwhelming fears that Chip will intercept them on the way to the airport, Ettie flees to safety with Lydia and her two brothers. Family and friends support Ettie and Lydia as they deal with the aftermath of abuse and betrayal. Although Lydia meets regularly with a therapist who specializes in helping sexual abuse victims, she struggles with her identity as a victim. Hiding behind a mask of happiness is Lydia’s way to cope with the vortex of pain swirling in her heart. Can God’s love break through the pain to write hope and healing into the rest of her story?
