Fitzgerald was born in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, in 1902. As a teenager, he took a job as a plumber to support his family, and grew up quickly. His personal life and work gave way to many fascinating and unusual experiences. Now, in I Saw a Century Blossom, Fitzgerald recounts his storied years, tracing a path through pivotal events of the twentieth century and sharing a view of old New York not often seen in history books. Fitzgerald begins his account as the dust is still settling from the Spanish–American War and Theodore Roosevelt has taken office as president of the United States. He concludes with the 1980 presidential election. His perspective allows readers to see what happened in everyday life while countries fought world wars and disasters struck, like the Wall Street bombing of 1920 and the Black Tom explosion. Along the way, he experiences technological advents like modern plumbing. Tag along for his first job as a plumber, back when many employers were unwilling to hire Irish Americans. Meet Fitzgerald’s interesting family and even see what a boy does for fun in early-twentieth-century Brooklyn, like swim in the East River. With stories that are sure to charm and entertain. I Saw a Century Blossom is a great choice for readers interested in New York City history and daily life during the early 1900s.

Download or read book In Love written by Amy Bloom and published by Random House. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful memoir of a love that leads two people to find a courageous way to part—and a woman’s struggle to go forward in the face of loss—that “enriches the reader’s life with urgency and gratitude” (The Washington Post) “A pleasure to read . . . Rarely has a memoir about death been so full of life. . . . Bloom has a talent for mixing the prosaic and profound, the slapstick and the serious.”—USA Today ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her husband, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved; he withdrew from close friendships; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly, it seemed there was a glass wall between them, and their long walks and talks stopped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they could no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer’s disease. Forced to confront the truth of the diagnosis and its impact on the future he had envisioned, Brian was determined to die on his feet, not live on his knees. Supporting each other in their last journey together, Brian and Amy made the unimaginably difficult and painful decision to go to Dignitas, an organization based in Switzerland that empowers a person to end their own life with dignity and peace. In this heartbreaking and surprising memoir, Bloom sheds light on a part of life we so often shy away from discussing—its ending. Written in Bloom’s captivating, insightful voice and with her trademark wit and candor, In Love is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage, and a boundary-defying love.
