Summary

In Jean of the Lazy A, B.M. Bower crafts a compelling Western narrative centered on Jean Douglas, a spirited sixteen-year-old raised on Montana's Lazy A Ranch. Her world shatters when her father, Aleck Douglas, is wrongfully convicted of murder, leading to the loss of their family ranch to her scheming Uncle Carl. Determined to restore her father's honor and reclaim their home, Jean embarks on a daring quest for justice. Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with a Hollywood film crew, where her authentic ranch skills earn her roles as a stunt double and actress. Amidst the glitz of early filmmaking, Jean remains steadfast in her mission, navigating challenges that test her resilience and courage. Bower's narrative seamlessly blends themes of identity, justice, and empowerment, offering readers a vivid portrayal of a young woman's determination to right the wrongs inflicted upon her family.

    Passage to India A - Unabridged

    One of E.M. Forster's most critically-acclaimed works, "A Passage to India" was chosen by Time Magazine as one of the best "All Time 100 Novels" and it won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. Modern Library also lists the book as one of the 100 greatest works of 20th-century English literature.   
    The story - one of Forster's darkest tales - revolves around a trip to India by British schoolmistress Adela Quested and her companion, Mrs. Moore. After meeting with a local physician, Dr. Aziz, the two visitors travel with him on a tour of the famous Marabar Caves. While exploring a dark cave alone, Adela is forced to fend off a mysterious attacker and Dr. Aziz - who became separated from the party - is accused of assault.   
    A brilliant and troubling examination of privilege, racial tension and colonial rule, "A Passage to India" is often cited as Forster's masterpiece. The book has been adapted many times for the stage and screen, most famously for the Oscar-winning 1984 film directed by David Lean and starring Judy Davis, Peggy Ashcroft and Alec Guinness.   
    "A Passage to India" is presented here in its original and unabridged format and has been narrated by renowned audiobook narrator Sara Nichols, who also gave voice to Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" and the complete works of Jane Austen.

    “An utterly engrossing, hilarious, and often tender novel of how one hundred-plus creative people made Broadway’s legendary, much-loved musical Camelot from scraps and sheer determination." 
    -- Stephanie Cowell, award winning author of Marrying Mozart, Claude & Camille, and The Boy in the Rain  
    ---- 
    What if the most conflicted lovers in Broadway’s Camelot aren’t Lancelot and Guenevere?  
    Set backstage during the out-of-town chaos of Lerner and Loewe’s now-classic 1960 musical, One More Seat at the Round Table portrays the struggles of feisty drama school grad Jane Conroy, who lands a plum Gal Friday job, and Bryce Christmas, a gifted, if insecure, actor on the verge of his big break. When Jane and Bryce fall helplessly in love during Toronto tryouts, their relationship is tested by mistakes they make and endless work woes: Camelot’s four-hour length, poor reviews, the illness of librettist Alan Jay Lerner, and the near-fatal coronary of director Moss Hart who quits. 
    As Lerner, composer Loewe, and their stars, Richard Burton and Julie Andrews, trudge on to Boston, doubts besiege Jane who hopes to buck convention and skip marriage and Bryce who wants a wife. They also discover hidden strengths as Jane gains agency backstage and Bryce takes charge of his talent. But will Jane’s commitment phobia derail their future? Will Camelot become a glittering hit? These questions create a tense roller-coaster ride to the end of Susan Dormady Eisenberg's wise and witty novel, a story about the transformative power of love and the luminous pull of Broadway as it casts its spell on performers and fans alike.
