  An Exemplary Couple tells the inspiring story of St. Gianna Molla’s marriage to Pietro, and her heroic act of love for her baby, Gianna Emmanuela Molla. Valentina Di Marco’s extensive study of their lives draws heavily from the many letters Gianna and Pietro wrote to each other. This book was first published in Italian and is now published in English with the help of St. Gianna and Pietro’s youngest child. Within these pages, their lives are chronicled from their courtship, engagement, and marriage to their parenting years. You will get a glimpse of how their love for each other grew as they encouraged each other in striving for holiness and a greater love of God. Valentina also shares new details of Pietro’s life as he endeavored to provide for his family during a difficult time in Italy’s history and to faithfully support Gianna through her illness and the decision to save their baby.  
  When reading the lives of the saints, it is often easy to feel that the virtue and sanctity of these holy men and women are somehow out of reach for someone in our present times. However, St. Gianna and Pietro Molla’s story has the opposite effect. Through this book, you will find the simple, yet holy life of a couple devoted to the true call of the marriage vocation: to help each other get to Heaven.  
  As the Church Militant, we have a duty to fight for a culture of life in a society that has widely accepted a culture of death through the rejection of the sanctity of marriage, the family, and the sanctity of life itself. To effectively rally against this rejection of Truth, we must arm ourselves with the virtues exemplified by the saints; learning from St. Gianna Molla and her husband Pietro is a sure way to promote a culture of life.

  Diamonds and Deadlines - A Tale...

  The first major biography of the glamorous and scandalous Miriam Leslie, titan of publishing and an unsung hero of women’s suffrage 
   
  Among the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For twenty years she ran the country’s largest publishing company, Frank Leslie Publishing, which chronicled postbellum America in  
  dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker in the process. But Miriam Leslie was also a byword for scandal: She flouted feminine convention, took lovers, married four times,  
  and harbored unsavory secrets that she concealed through a skein of lies and multiple personas. Both during and after her lifetime, glimpses of the truth emerged, including an illegitimate birth and a checkered youth. 
   
  Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “empress of journalism,” who dropped a bombshell at her death: She left her entire multimillion-dollar estate to women’s suffrage—a never-equaled amount that guaranteed  
  passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. In this dazzling biography, cultural historian Betsy Prioleau draws from diaries, correspondence, genealogies, and published works to provide an intimate look at the life of one of the Gilded Age’s most complex, powerful women and  
  unexpected feminist icons. Ultimately, Diamonds and Deadlines restores Mrs. Frank Leslie to her rightful place in history, as a monumental businesswoman who presaged the feminist future and reflected, in bold relief, the Gilded Age, one of the most momentous,  
  seismic, and vivid epochs in American history.

  When you look back in history at royal romances, surprising as it may seem, few have happy ever after endings, and in many instances the idea of “Love and Marriage” being inextricably linked is not quite as common as you might at first think. In fairy stories handsome Kings and Princes regularly sweep fair maidens off their feet, transforming them into Princesses and Queens, and although a rarer occurrence, a Royal Princess can create a Prince out of the most unpromising of characters! 
   
  From King Arthur through to Prince Charles and Diana, Royal Romances - The British Monarchy gives you an enlightening insight into British Royal history.

  Paper Paradise - Do What You...

  Paper Paradise: Do What You Want To Do is a roller coaster ride through the sex, drugs and rock and roll of the ’60s and ’70s to the high-flying business world of the ’80s and into the ’90s and beyond—with someone who lived it all. 
  It is a book about ambition, hunger, desperation, success and the fruits thereof. Oh yes, it is also about failure and fighting back. 
  Charting the extraordinary life and times of Glenn Wheatley, from working class boy to rock star of the 1960s and 1970s as a member of one of Australia’s most successful early bands, the Masters Apprentices, now immortalised in the ARIA Hall of Fame. In their heyday, the Masters drew bigger crowds than the Beatles in Australia. 
  In the 1980s he soared from rock star to star manager of the Little River Band and Whispering Jack, John Farnham. He also pioneered the FM Radio industry with the first FM radio station to go to air in Australia, EON FM in Melbourne. He then went on to build the foundation of what is now the Triple M radio network. 
  It is a narrative littered with casualties and is an actual account of a self-protective society that has its own Kings and Queens, its own iconography, its own language. 
  After a meteoric rise in the fast lane, and an equally spectacular fall, he made it back to the top. Glenn was the ultimate rock and roll survivor.
