The Cadillac story is more than the story of a car company. It is, in many ways, the story of the American automobile industry itself—which, as much as any industry, drove America’s growth in the twentieth century and defined who we are as a people. For generations of Americans, Cadillac epitomized expansive prosperity. This illustrated history of Cadillac presents all the triumphs and failures of the marque’s last sixty years; from the good times, through the disastrous 1980s, and up to the current reconstitution of the brand.

If someone had told me years ago that I was going to write a book, I would have told them that they were crazy! For years I've been writing down my deepest thoughts and emotions with absolutely no plans of exposing them to the public. These writings act as short stories that chronicle my life's experiences. These testimonies are emotional, some of them are spiritual, some of them funny, some painful, and some of them even deal with life's lessons that I had to struggle with on my own. There would be times when my closest friends would share their secrets with me and because I felt deeply moved from what they shared, I would put myself in their shoes and try to find a better way of resolving ...

A novel written as a sharp parable of American society, addressing love, purpose, discrimination, and poverty.

As Walter and Catherine work to reinvent this land, formerly a summer resort, the surrounding town of Sneeds Harbor proves resistant. The residents’ well-meaning doubts lead to well-hidden threats, and ...
