Book excerpt: Lorne Bennett used to be a quite famous movie star, until that fateful day when his wife was found murdered in their Manhattan apartment and he became the prime suspect. Unable to provide an adequate alibi, "The West Side Kid," as he is known to his fans, felt forced to flee and leave his baby daughter Laura behind with her aunt and uncle. Twenty-two years later, he is still on the run, unaware that Laura, now grown and working as an advertising copywriter in New York City, has become so obsessed with learning as much as she can about her parents she launches her own investigation into the murder and her father's role in it. Against the advice of police and relatives, she throws herself into the cold case and picks up some valuable information. Gradually, the pieces start coming together, but the more she learns, the more her life and the lives of others are endangered. Here's what reviewers are saying about The West Side Kid: For Reader Views, reviewer Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson defines Cardinale's writing as "definitely imaginative and engaging, with a fast-moving story, wild twists and turns and an interesting ending. His characters are well defined and thoroughly believable The villains are appropriately repugnant and the good guys dashing and daring." Her favorite character is twelve-year-old Alex Volpe, whose "keen powers of observation and charming personality were a true asset in the quest for the truth." The reviewer hopes that she, along with Alex's father (Billy) and Laura, "appear in some kind of a sequel or spin-off story in the near future." Finally, this comment: "I feel certain that The West Side Kid by Valentine Cardinale will be enjoyed by readers everywhere." Midwest Book Rerview, focusing on Lorne Bennett's plight, calls attention to the role that fear plays in people's lives, making "you flee from everything, including the ones you love." The West Side Kid is "an entertaining thriller, and highly recommended reading." ForeWord Clarion Review likes the way "Cardinale skillfully throws suspicion on a series of individuals as Laura is repeatedly warned by a mysterious caller not to get involved in the investigation." This reviewer also thinks that "Alex's sleuthing produces nice touches" and notes that "the author has left open the door for sequels" featuring several characters, including the precocious Alex. "Cardinale's fast-paced and imaginative twists and turns should keep his fans asking for more." Sacramento Book Review calls The West Side Kid "a well-written novel with plenty to recommend. While it is a mystery story, it is also the search for meaning and roots. Laura needs to lay her own ghosts to rest about her family and the abandonment she's felt all her life. And her resolution provides her not only an answer to that early mystery, but also peace with her life. A quick and enjoyable story."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating, richly illustrated full account of the making of the ground-breaking movie classic West Side Story (1961). A major hit on Broadway, on film West Side Story became immortal-a movie different from anything that had come before, but this cinematic victory came at a price. In this engrossing volume, film historian Richard Barrios recounts how the drama and rivalries seen onscreen played out to equal intensity behind-the-scenes, while still achieving extraordinary artistic feats. The making and impact of West Side Story has so far been recounted only in vestiges. In the pages of this book, the backstage tale comes to life along with insight on what has made the film a favorite across six decades: its brilliant use of dance as staged by erstwhile co-director Jerome Robbins; a meaningful story, as set to Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's soundtrack; the performances of a youthful ensemble cast featuring Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, and more; a film with Shakespearean roots (Romeo and Juliet) that is simultaneously timeless and current. West Side Story was a triumph that appeared to be very much of its time; over the years it has shown itself to be eternal.

After excelling in high school basketball and becoming his school's first great player, his life took a fateful and tragic turn. In his compelling memoir, The Westcoast Kid: My Redemption, Waters chronicles the events that led up to taking a very different path in life away from college and into the dangerous world of drug smuggling for Pablo Escobar's cartel. As he became immersed in the lure of fast money and faster women, his life began spiraling downhill. Eventually, he was arrested and convicted of drug smuggling, forcing him to enter the turbulent prison system. Life behind the prison walls became a struggle to survive when fellow inmates found out his high school rival was NFL star Deion Sanders. Waters shares how he found the determination to rebuild his life after being released. Waters tells the inspiring story of his struggle to find his place in life, hoping to encourage young adults to shun bad choices, opt for the right path, and follow their dreams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one can deny our culture is opposed to Christian values, and the influences bombarding our children's moral development are difficult to contend with. But few parents and church leaders realize that a child's moral development is set by the age of nine. It is therefore critical to start developing a child's biblical worldview from the very earliest years of life. The problem is complex: parents who themselves did not receive early spiritual training leave their children's training to the church. Yet the church often focuses on older children. The answer is for churches to come alongside parents to provide them biblical worldview training, parenting information, and counseling that will equip them to help their children become the spiritually mature church of tomorrow. This helpful and hopeful book unpacks just how to develop this kind of dynamic church/parent relationship and includes profiles of churches that are effectively ministering to children and winning the war for their hearts and minds.

Book excerpt: "As any resident, restaurateur, or realtor will tell you, New York's Upper West Side--that swath of Manhattan between Central Park and the Hudson River, from roughly Columbus Circle to Columbia University--is the place for fashionable dining, dwelling, and dressing up. But the Young Urban Professionals now discovering the area (and many oldtimers, too) might be surprised to learn that other colonists had preceded them by two or three hundred years--Dutch farmers and English gentry with names like Theunis Idens van Huys, Hendrick Hendrickon Bosch, Charles Ward Apthorpe, and Oliver De Lancey. The names of many later residents are more familiar: Edgar Allan Poe, William Tecumseh Sherman, Lillian Russell, Diamond Jim Brady, Florenz Ziegfeld, Arturo Toscanini, Fanny Brice, William Randolph Hearst, Theodore Dreiser, Lewis Mumford, Humphrey Bogart (he was a child there), Lauren Bacall (so was she), Gertrude Stein, Mae West, Leonard Bernstein, John Lennon. Quite a neighborhood. And Peter Salwen’s Upper West Side Story is quite a book: an engaging, often hilarious history of this fabulous city-within-a-city. It is a treasury of colorful biographies--of farmers, tycoons, thieves, and artists. It is an architectural grand tour--of the Dakota, the Ansonia, Lincoln Center, and the romantic residential skyscrapers of Central Park West. It is a compendium of Manhattan lore and delightful as well as occasionally horrifying trivia, enough to turn even a casual browser into the Compleat Upper West Sider. The story of this dynamic neighborhood begins with the colonial period, when merchant princes commanded royal views of the Hudson--until the approach of Washington’s troops drove them from their mansions--and continues through the bucolic nineteenth century, when the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum at 116th and Broadway (site of today's Columbia University) was the Upper West Side's prime tourist attraction. By the turn of the [twentieth] century, the fashionable “West End," as the neighborhood was then known, boasted extravagant mansions and private homes, grand parks and equestrian boulevards, and its own unique theatrical and night life. Author Peter Salwen chronicles those high-living years, and the half century of inexorable decline that followed--with its poverty and often sensational crime--and brings us up-to-date with a lively account of [the 1980s'] galloping renaissance. [This book] is living history--an unfinished story--generously illustrated with vintage engravings and photos of the buildings and people great and humble (those still with us and those that are no more). Also included are special walking tours to suit all levels of ambition and energy, and a who’s who of famous and infamous residents and where they lived."--Dust jacket.
