Standish crafts an exhilarating narrative that blends adventure, ingenuity, and the burgeoning fascination with automotive technology of the early 20th century. The prose, characterized by its vivid descriptions and energetic pacing, immerses readers in the riveting escapades of the young protagonist, Owen Clancy. Set against a backdrop of American optimism and industrial advancement, Standish explores themes of friendship, perseverance, and the thrill of competition, making this work a quintessential example of early American pulp fiction, which is laden with enthusiasm for progress and youthful determination. Burt L. Standish, a pen name for the prolific author William George, was emblematic of his times, capturing the spirit of adventure that defined the American youth culture of his day. His experiences in sports and affection for technology profoundly influenced his narrative style and thematic choices. Standish's insights into the socio-economic dynamics of youth during the early 1900s lend an authentic touch to Clancy's character and his thrilling endeavors, reflecting both the challenges and aspirations of a generation. This book is a must-read for those captivated by tales of adventure and engineering, offering a nostalgic look at the evolution of youth culture and technological progress. Readers who enjoy fast-paced stories filled with clever innovations and the trials of young heroes will find themselves thoroughly entertained by Owen Clancy's exploits as he navigates the complexities of both the garage and life.

    This program is read by the author,“Anne Hull has written some of the most important stories of our time, beautifully, unflinchingly.”—Rick Bragg"Hull delivers her book with a gentle twang and the unpretentious tone of someone who has lived the experiences she describes. Through her character work and emotionally intelligent delivery, Hull helps the listener feel her every bump, bruise, and triumph."- AudioFileA richly evocative coming-of-age memoir set in the Florida orange groves of the 1960s by a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalistAnne Hull grew up in rural Central Florida, barefoot half the time and running through the orange groves her father’s family had worked for generations. The ground trembled from the vibrations of bulldozers and jackhammers clearing land for Walt Disney World. “Look now,” her father told her as they rode through the mossy landscape together. “It will all be gone.” But the real threat was at home, where Hull was pulled between her idealistic but self-destructive father and her mother, a glamorous outsider from Brooklyn struggling with her own aspirations. All the while, Hull felt the pressures of girlhood closing in. She dreamed of becoming a traveling salesman who ate in motel coffee shops, accompanied by her baton-twirling babysitter. As her sexual identity took shape, Hull knew the place she loved would never love her back and began plotting her escape.Here, Hull captures it all—the smells and sounds of a disappearing way of life, the secret rituals and rhythms of a doomed family, the casual racism of the rural South in the 1960s, and the suffocating expectations placed on girls and women.Vividly atmospheric and haunting, Through the Groves will speak to anyone who’s ever left home to cut a path of their own.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

    DALTON: My family is old money and my life has been mapped out since before I was born. Become a lawyer, buy a house, get married, and carry on the family name. I have the job and the house, but instead of the marriage, I'm happy playing the field. Finding out that I've been secretly married for half my adult life was a plot twist I didn't see coming. Carter Emerson Royce IV is everything I used to want to be. I haven't seen him since college, and now he's asking me to come to New York and pretend we're the perfect picture of domestic bliss. Considering the history between us, it's the least I can do. 
     
    IVEY: All I need to do is to win over the co-op board so I can secure keys to the penthouse in NYC that I've wanted for years. When they ask about my marital status and produce a marriage license from Vegas, my plans are thrown out the window. I've spent fifteen years trying to not think about Dalton Fox, but we're about to get up close and personal again. The plan is simple—pretend we're really married and in love long enough for my application to get approved, Dalton goes back to LA a single man, and I go on with the rest of my life. Except there's more between us than history. Soon it becomes clear, the penthouse isn't the only thing at stake. The rest of our lives—and the future of our marriage—are too. 
     
    Contains mature themes.
