The Lady of Goldstone
In October of 1949, eighteen year old Doug Wilson heads out to explore an old mining town in the high desert of California. upon arrival, he meets an elderly woman who happens to be the last surviving resident of the town. She relates to him the story of how she and her husband left New Jersey and headed west in search of a hidden underground tributary that made his grandfather a rich man back in the gold rush days. Their trip, and the life that followed, was not always easy. The heartbreak of leaving all they knew, especially after the murder of her father, and traveling to parts unknown in search of a dream was a story worth hearing. Doug listened to the tale of their journey; the adventures, the joys and the tragedies that finally brought them to this barren, dusty desert town and why she chose to stay long after the others had gone. Charlie has been a farm boy, a marine, a detective in a small town and an investigator for a large Sheriff's Department, a recreational gold prospector and now enjoys writing in the high desert of California. He has drawn from these life experiences to create this intriguing story.
The Chronicles of Grace
The Chronicles of Grace is a moving and visceral memoir penned by Grace Simon, whose heated passions and stoic determination fueled a richly complex life. A survivor of rape and a culture of misogyny, she overcomes abuse and extortion by never abandoning her sense of humor and commitment to family. Pivotal to her story is a gripping courtroom drama where she faces years in jail for something she did not do. The upheaval starts when her first husband, Charlie, an absentee father, demands custody of their sons. Soon after, Grace is arrested for violation of a federal tax law. She brings the drama of the courtroom to life as she takes the reader along for the ride. The Chronicles of Grace was nearly lost to eternity until it was found in a dusty attic by the deceased author's niece. Written in guarded privacy and full of secrets known only to the author, this memoir reveals the inner life of one remarkable woman. Personal, soulful, and brutally honest, it is a voice from the grave that speaks to us all. From unimaginable heartache to an unwavering belief in love, it offers revealing insights into the power of the human spirit.
Conundrums
Conundrum is a mind-stretch. Encrypting idioms into their typographic equivalents, Harry enlivens our everyday language and challenges readers to see that "time after time after time" or, at least, "more often than not" "the writing is on the wall." For fans of word puzzles, sudoku, crosswords, and all manner of mind games, Conundrum offers an artfully packaged, cleverly designed new challenge. Drawing upon, literally in this case, graphic puzzles that he began creating as a child, Harry's developed over 100 witty conundrums for this book that will stretch the mind as well as delight the senses. A member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale, a frequent lecturer and contributor to design discourse, an internationally recognized leader in design, and a founder of Lippa Pearce, one of the UK's most respected design agencies, Harry refines the way we see and communicate. Conundrum achieves nothing less than changing how we understand and interact with language.
