Synopsis

In "Famous Impostors," Bram Stoker delves into the intriguing world of deception through a series of captivating narratives that explore historical figures who evaded their true identities. With a vivid and engaging prose style, Stoker combines meticulous research with dramatic retellings, inviting readers to ponder the fine line between truth and illusion. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century fascination with sensationalism and the macabre, this work reflects the era's thirst for scandalous stories while illuminating the psychological depths behind impersonation. Bram Stoker, best known for his seminal horror novel "Dracula," had a profound interest in the intersection of reality and fiction, which likely influenced his exploration of impostorism in this book. His background in theatrical management and literature allowed him to craft compelling narratives that resonate with the themes of identity and deception. Stoker's exposure to various cultures while traveling and his keen observations of human behavior inform the rich character studies in "Famous Impostors." For readers who appreciate historical curiosities and psychological thrillers, "Famous Impostors" offers an enthralling glimpse into the lives of notorious deception artists. This book serves as both a captivating commentary on human nature and an exploration of how identity can be both performative and elusive, making it a thought-provoking addition to any literary collection.

    When Ryan Dennis's father was crushed by heavy machinery on their New York dairy farm, both men accepted the accident as a risk of agricultural life. But it was harder to comprehend being crushed by low milk prices, big banks, and the policies that destroyed America's family farms. Even though Ryan grew up watching his father and grandfather struggle to survive, he always thought he would follow in their footsteps and take over the family farm. But as he milked cows and fed calves, the world outside the barn was changing. Between 2003 and 2020, 40,000 dairy farms went out of business in the United States.Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.

    In this memoir of identity and discovery, Vanessa A. Bee explores the way we define "home" and "belonging"—from her birth in Yaoundé, Cameroon, to her adoption, to experiencing housing insecurity in Europe and her eventual immigration to the US. After her parents' divorce, Vanessa traveled with her mother to Lyon and later to London, eventually settling in Reno, Nevada, as a teenager, right around the financial crisis and the collapse of the housing market. At twenty, still a practicing evangelical Christian and newly married, Vanessa applied to and was accepted by Harvard Law School, where she was one of the youngest members of her class. There, she forged a new belief system, divorced her husband, left the church, and pursued a career in economic justice upon graduation. 
     
     
     
    Vanessa's upbringing has caused her to grapple for years with foundational questions such as: What is home? Is it the country we're born in, the body we possess, or the name we were given and that identifies us? Is it the house we remember most fondly, the social status assigned to us, or the ideology we forge? What defines us and makes us uniquely who we are? 
     
     
     
    Vanessa tackles these timeless questions thematically and unpacks the many layers that contribute to and condition our understanding of ourselves and of our place in the world.

    From humble beginnings in the rural South to becoming a Morehead-Cain scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill, Antonio McBroom was always determined to achieve his C.E.O. dream of Creating Extra • Ordinary life. The only thing he didn’t expect was that a minimum wage ice cream scooping job would lead him there. 
    Presented with a chance to franchise his own Ben & Jerry’s, McBroom “scooped his way” to the top before co-founding his company, Primo Partners, in 2008. Within 15 years, he grew a single scoop shop from $200K per year to a vast enterprise that drives over $20 million annually. Primo now runs 25+ businesses with McBroom at the helm, including Starbucks cafés, coaching services and real estate development. 
    Through his multi-unit, multi-brand and multi-state empire, McBroom Created the Extra • Ordinary life he dreamed of, transforming his family and community in the process. In The Self•ish Servant, a hybrid memoir and business guide, McBroom shares the story behind his aspirational ascent. 
    Based on his own seven principles—Tenacity, Self-Awareness, Passion, Focus, Communi-Keys, Boss Time and Gratitude—The Self•ish Servant teaches other entrepreneurs and leaders-of-tomorrow to organize their impact through revolutionary service. 
    At its heart is McBroom’s counterintuitive secret to success: being “self•ish” is what helps us serve others even better. 
    With lessons on franchising, retail, real estate development, public speaking, servant leadership and everything in between, The Self•ish Servant establishes McBroom as a visionary new voice in business—and a one-stop-shop for all things needed to create an extraordinary life.
