Kerrie and James were the perfect couple. From their first hello they knew they were destined to spend eternity together. Theirs was a love as deep and unfathomable as the ocean. What Kerrie and James didn't know was that someone had a secret, one that would bring all their hopes and dreams to an end. When Kerrie learns she has only months to live, she runs from her life with her husband, Brian, in search of James. To know true love once more before they die, James and Kerrie reject the constraints of moral and ethical right and wrong. How far would you go to be together with your soul mate once more? How much would you risk? For anyone who loved the wrong person, married the "right" person, did the "right" thing and longed for the wrong. For anyone who has known a love as beautiful and otherworldly as the Ethereal Ocean.
William Lloyd Garrison was one of the major abolitionist leaders, well known for his operation of the newspaper The Liberator. When he died in 1879, his five children carried on his and his wife's values in the civil rights, peace, and woman suffrage movements, argues Alonso (history, City U. of New York). She draws a portrait of the activities of the five, including editing The Nation, being involved in the women's colleges Barnard and Radcliffe, campaigning for the single tax, working in antiwar movements, and working on ensuring their father's place in history. Equal attention is paid to the youth and education of the children. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
While attempting to solve the Storyville district murders in 1910 New Orleans, Detective Brian Donahue comes under pressure by his superiors and local 'political machine' and enlists the aid of Dr. Eric Trevor, a psychiatrist at the nearby Saint James Infirmary, a hospital for the mentally ill. Dr. Trevor is at first reluctant to join, his main concern is for his patients, not the police's work but understands his value to the investigation. As he evaluates the mounting crime scenes, he begins to formulate his own idea of why the crimes are occurring and that perhaps it was not the prostitutes that were the intended victims but actually their customers. Part 2 of 5.
Storyville: The Prostitute Murders is a graphic novel set in the Storyville district of 1910 New Orleans which was the home for the "Devil's Blues" which later became known as jazz. The legalized red light district ran for 25 years and virtually everything was permitted - from sex to booze, from gambling to drugs. The only thing that was not acceptable was murder, because murder was bad for business. When prostitutes and their customers start being killed, Detective Brian Donahue, a transplant from Chicago, finds he has no answer to these seemingly random murders. Pressured by superiors and the local 'political machine' Donahue enlists the aid of Dr. Eric Trevor, a psychiatrist at the nearby Saint James Infirmary. And the two of them embark to unravel the mystery of this new type of killer seldom seen before...a serial killer. From the mind of Gary Reed, writer of the critically acclaimed Renfield and Saint Germaine graphic novels. Collects issues 1-5.
