About growing up in an Irish Catholic family in Philadelphia in the 50s.
Even as a small child, Angelica Pomeroy knew how to use others to get what she wanted--and now, what she wants is Leonard. Not his friends, not his family, and most certainly not his child. Forced to have a baby to save her marriage, Angelica is shattered when Leonard leaves her anyway. She strikes back by doing what she knows will hurt the most--disappearing, and taking their son with her. But not even Angelica can know the catastrophe that awaits her, making her name a household word, even in the White House.
Everyone has a few regrets. Had I done this ... or not done that, things might have turned out differently. From the first time that Clarke and Hannah met, they knew that they were meant to be together. Tragically, life kept getting in the way. Opportunities came and went. Timing was always bad. For decades, each wondered silently what life would have been like had they come together. Finally, one more chance to connect knocked on the door. Neither of them wanted to let it go by. With children grown and gone, the decision was made to give it a try to see if it was all that they had imagined. Unexpectedly, they had to go through more trials than their worst nightmare ... and be torn apart once again. Finding Le Coeur is the story of a man and woman on their journey through life, each coming to a point of deciding that, setting aside the regrets and reaching for the beauty that lay in front of them, was the way to find all that they hoped for.

In 1936, the Baseball Hall of Fame was established to honor the legends of the sport. The first inductees were some of the greatest names of the dugout, including Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. Less than ten years later, in 1945, the Hockey Hall of Fame inducted its first members. The Soccer Hall of Fame was established in 1950, followed by the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959, and the Football Hall of Fame in 1963. In all, more than 1,400 inductees—players, teams, and behind the scenes personnel—have been enshrined in these five halls of fame. The Sports Hall of Fame Encyclopedia is a comprehensive listing of each inductee elected into one or more of these major sports halls of fame. From Hank Aaron to Fred Zollner, this book contains biographical information, sport and position(s) played, and career statistics (when applicable) of each of the more than 1,400 honorees. The book also includes specific appendixes for each shrine, in which inductees are listed alphabetically and by year of induction. Also included are appendixes briefly describing the history of each hall of fame.
In 1929, Hollywood mogul William Fox (1879-1952) came close to controlling the entire motion picture industry. His Fox Film Corporation had grown from a $1600 investment into a globe-spanning $300 million empire; he also held patents to the new sound-on-film process. Forced into a series of bitter power struggles, Fox was ultimately toppled from his throne, and the studio bearing his name would merge in 1935 with Darryl F. Zanuck's flourishing 20th Century Pictures. The 25-year lifespan of the Fox Film Corporation, home of such personalities as Theda Bara, Tom Mix, Janet Gaynor and John Ford, is chronicled in this thorough illustrated history. Included are never-before-published financial figures revealing costs and grosses of Fox's biggest successes and failures, and a detailed filmogaphy of the studio's 1100-plus releases, among them What Price Glory?, Seventh Heaven and the Oscar-winning Cavalcade.
