Download or read book The Silver Swan written by Sallie Bingham and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Men who inherit great wealth are respected, but women who do the same are ridiculed. In The Silver Swan, Sallie Bingham rescues Doris Duke from this gendered prison and shows us just how brave, rebellious, and creative this unique woman really was, and how her generosity benefits us to this day.” —Gloria Steinem A bold portrait of Doris Duke, the defiant and notorious tobacco heiress who was perhaps the greatest modern woman philanthropist In The Silver Swan, Sallie Bingham chronicles one of the great underexplored lives of the twentieth century and the very archetype of the modern woman. “Don’t touch that girl, she’ll burn your fingers,” FBI director J. Edgar Hoover once said about Doris Duke, the inheritor of James Buchanan Duke’s billion-dollar tobacco fortune. During her lifetime, she would be blamed for scorching many, including her mother and various ex-lovers. She established her first foundation when she was twenty-one; cultivated friendships with the likes of Jackie Kennedy, Imelda Marcos, and Michael Jackson; flaunted interracial relationships; and adopted a thirty-two year-old woman she believed to be the reincarnation of her deceased daughter. This is also the story of the great houses she inhabited, including the classically proportioned limestone mansion on Fifth Avenue, the sprawling Duke Farms in New Jersey, the Gilded Age mansion Rough Point in Newport, Shangri La in Honolulu, and Falcon’s Lair overlooking Beverly Hills. Even though Duke was the subject of constant scrutiny, little beyond the tabloid accounts of her behavior has been publicly known. In 2012, when eight hundred linear feet of her personal papers were made available, Sallie Bingham set out to probe her identity. She found an alluring woman whose life was forged in the Jazz Age, who was not only an early war correspondent but also an environmentalist, a surfer, a collector of Islamic art, a savvy businesswoman who tripled her father’s fortune, and a major philanthropist with wide-ranging passions from dance to historic preservation to human rights. In The Silver Swan, Bingham is especially interested in dissecting the stereotypes that have defined Duke’s story while also confronting the disturbing questions that cleave to her legacy.

Download or read book The Poacher’s Daughter written by Michael Zimmer and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poacher’s Daughter is an extraordinary story of betrayal and redemption, set within an uncompromising landscape of raw brutality and unimaginable beauty. It is a novel you won’t soon forget. In 1885 young Rose Edwards is widowed by Montana vigilantes who hang her husband for an alleged theft, then burn her Yellowstone Valley cabin to the ground as a warning for her and others of her kind to quit the territory. Penniless and illiterate, yet fiercely independent, Rose begins a two-year odyssey to revisit the land of her childhood, a land she once traveled with her father, an itinerant robe trader among the Assiniboines and Blackfeet. But the old ways of the hunter and trapper are disappearing as Europeans flood the ranges with vast herds of cattle. With an aging roan gelding named Albert as her closest friend, Rose becomes a reluctant hero of an indigenous population, both native and white, as she stubbornly pushes back against the invading aristocracy.
Download or read book A Wild Swan written by Michael Cunningham and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairy tales for our times from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Hours A poisoned apple and a monkey's paw with the power to change fate; a girl whose extraordinarily long hair causes catastrophe; a man with one human arm and one swan's wing; and a house deep in the forest, constructed of gumdrops and gingerbread, vanilla frosting and boiled sugar. In A Wild Swan and Other Tales, the people and the talismans of lands far, far away—the mythic figures of our childhoods and the source of so much of our wonder—are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation. Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed: the years after a spell is broken, the rapturous instant of a miracle unexpectedly realized, or the fate of a prince only half cured of a curse. The Beast stands ahead of you in line at the convenience store, buying smokes and a Slim Jim, his devouring smile aimed at the cashier. A malformed little man with a knack for minor acts of wizardry goes to disastrous lengths to procure a child. A loutish and lazy Jack prefers living in his mother's basement to getting a job, until the day he trades a cow for a handful of magic beans. Reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, and exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu, rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true.
Download or read book Love’s Obsession written by Betty McLain and published by Next Chapter. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mirror showed a girl her true love. That's what everyone said. Girls rushed to check their reflection, hoping to see if the stories were true. Not Doris. She had no interest in finding her true love. How was Doris supposed to trust in love? Derrick said he loved her, but when she did not return his feelings, his so-called love turned into an obsession that took the lives of her mother and step-father. Mark Black Feather was pleasantly surprised to see the magic mirror reveal the face of his true love. He never expected she’d be unhappy to see him, or that her life would be in danger from a madman. Can true love grow surrounded by tragedy and danger, or will one man’s obsession end their love before it can truly begin? Betty's note: each book in the Love's Magic series is a standalone romance novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.

Book Synopsis The Chicken Made of Rags by : Nina Serrano
Download or read book The Chicken Made of Rags written by Nina Serrano and published by Estuary Press. This book was released on 2019-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicken Made of Rags is an old family tale handed down through generations. As children in New York City in the 1930's and 40's, my younger brother, Philip Serrano, and I went to sleep listening to our Uncle Paul's tale of the raggedy Chicken on her way to the big fiesta. Our Uncle Paul heard the story as a child in Cuba at the turn of the twentieth century from his nanny, a former slave. Cuba abolished slavery in 1886, ten years before Uncle Paul was born. Following the story's Afro-Caribbean origins, each generation of my family changed elements of the story adding other cultural layers. The Chicken Made of Rags immigrated across continents and generations landing in this script that we present here. The Chicken Made of Rags is set in San Francisco, California. Influenced by the civil rights movement of the 60's and 70's, I changed the ending so the characters worked together to achieve their own freedom amidst flying feathers. "A ragged, hardworking chicken receives an invitation to an upscale banquet and generously invites her motley flock of feathered friends to join in the festivities. The catch is, they’re not dinner guests—they’re dinner! How the poultry eventually escape the villain chef’s pot is a charming lesson in teamwork, showing that even in the urban jungle, good can triumph over evil. And that’s a nice bit or reassurance for children.” Parent's Magazine.
