Beschreibung

In Links in the Chain of Life, Baroness Emmuska Orczy — the celebrated creator of The Scarlet Pimpernel — reflects on her extraordinary journey from her Hungarian childhood to her literary triumphs in England. With warmth, wit, and candor, she recounts her early struggles as an immigrant, her perseverance as a writer, and the unexpected success that transformed her into one of the most beloved authors of her time. Interwoven with personal anecdotes, cultural reflections, and her passionate devotion to storytelling, this autobiography offers readers not only the portrait of a remarkable woman but also a vivid glimpse of Europe in transition at the turn of the 20th century. It is both an inspiring testament to creativity and resilience, and a fitting farewell from one of literature's most enduring voices.

    Never has a king created such controversy down the centuries as Richard III, whose remains were recently unearthed under a car park in Leicester. This discovery and subsequent analysis of the skeleton inspired this meticulously researched, yet lovingly crafted, story of Richard’s short life. Anne Easter Smith has studied this king and his period for several decades and has given us a compelling and real portrait of a three-dimensional man of his time—neither saint nor Shakespeare’s monster. Richard was known as a loyal brother, compassionate king, faithful husband, and courageous warrior, all the while hiding his cruel scoliosis. This Son of York’s themes are about duty and loyalty, but they also incorporate love, passion, tragic loss and a king’s caring for the common man.

    Not all that glitters is gold; not all who leave are lost. The youngest daughter of devout conservative Christians, Lauren is the favored golden child. Her parents’ doting is rivaled only by her devotion to them; with an absent brother and rebellious sister, she knows her mother and father need her to be perfect, and for their happiness—their approval, their love—perfection is a small price to pay. Until it bankrupts her. While Lauren and her husband follow their faith into the complexities of adoption, missionary work overseas, and a new understanding of systemic racism in America, her parents embrace Christian Nationalism. A chasm opens between herself and her loved ones, and her golden, perfect identity is lost. Can it be regained? Does she want it back...or will she don the mantel of scapegoat and leave her gilded cage forever? This coming-of-age memoir honors the tender pain of anyone whose perfect world has crashed around them, revealing the fractures built into the frame from the beginning. In an era when conversation about family estrangement is at an all-time high, Golden Child: My Descent to Scapegoat and Rise to Freedom offers hope, wisdom, and empowerment to those fleeing a broken family system in search of healing, freedom, and peace.

    Jenny Boyd's extraordinary life is the stuff of movies and novels, a story of incredible people and places experienced at a pivotal time in the 20th century. 
    As an up-and-coming young model, Jenny found herself at the heart of Carnaby Street in London, immersed in the fashion and pop culture of the Swinging 60s. With boyfriend Mick Fleetwood, sister Pattie, George Harrison and the rest of the Beatles, she lived the London scene. But as a natural Flower Child, Jenny soon became part of the counter-culture in San Francisco during the Flower Power era, witnessing the Summer of Love; she was the inspiration for Donovan's famous song, Jennifer Juniper, and her photograph was featured inside the box set of his eponymous album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden. 
    After working in The Beatles shop, Apple, the first of its kind, Jenny attended Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India to study meditation with her sister and the Beatles, witnessing their creativity and the genesis of songs that would later appear on the White Album. 
    Despite being attuned to the spiritual bloom and innocence of the 60s, Jenny also experienced first-hand the turmoil and decadence of the 70s and 80s. Her two marriages to Mick Fleetwood, founder member of Fleetwood Mac, brought her to the forefront of the world of rock and roll - and its fame, money, drugs and heartache. Struggling in the darkness to find and develop her own voice and identity, Jenny went to college, achieving a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Humanities - her dissertation on musicians and creativity became the critically-acclaimed book Musicians in Tune. 
    Jenny has spent her life in the company of some of the greatest musical and cultural influencers of the last 50 years - and the journey she takes to finding her own sense of self and creative ability makes Jennifer Juniper a truly captivating and inspiring story.

    “As a creature of American fiction, the successful business executive is often not a pleasant person. Sacrificing friends, family, love, and principles in his lust for success, he is depicted as outwardly brutal, inwardly empty, having killed off even his capacity for joy. Rich, powerful, alone at the top. 
    “On the other hand, there is David Jones.” —Louisville Courier-Journal columnist John Ed Pearce
