    Disclaimer: This is not the official book but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
    Gwynne meticulously retraces the steps of the formidable Comanche nation, a tribe that rose to power with a force unparalleled in native North American history, thanks to their masterful horse riding and warrior skills. Their reign, known as the "Comanche Empire," struck fear into the hearts of Americans and Mexicans alike, shaping the course of the frontier with a brutal hand. 
    At the epicenter of this historical narrative is the incredible story of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl kidnapped by the Comanche, who grows up to become the mother of Quanah Parker, the last and greatest Comanche chief. This dual biography intricately weaves the personal narratives of both Cynthia and Quanah, as they navigated a world at the crossroads of emerging American civilization and indigenous culture. 
    As you explore our summary, readers will be transported to a tumultuous period in American history, where the collision of cultures gave rise to heroism, cruelty, and the forging of the modern United States. S. C. Gwynne's masterful storytelling brings to life the flesh and blood people behind the historical figures, offering a sobering look at the realities of frontier life and the profound cost of progress. 
    Experience the gripping narratives that define "Empire of the Summer Moon," a story not just of a mother and son but of a nation struggling to birth itself through blood, battle, and sacrifice.

    The Jane Austen Remedy

    Ruth Wilson

    • 0
    An uplifting and delightfully bookish memoir about an 89-year-old woman who reclaims her life by re-reading each of Jane Austen's novels. 
     
    As she approached the age of seventy, Ruth Wilson began to have recurring dreams about losing her voice. Unable to dismiss her feelings of unexplainable sadness, she made the radical decision to retreat from her conventional life with her husband to a small sunshine-yellow cottage in the Southern Highlands where she lived alone for the next decade. 
     
    Ruth had fostered a lifelong love of reading, and from the moment she first encountered Pride and Prejudice in the 1940s she had looked to Jane Austen's heroines as her models for the sort of woman she wanted to become. 
     
    As Ruth settled into her cottage, she resolved to re-read Austen's six novels and rediscover the heroines who had inspired her; to read between the lines of both the novels and her own life. And as she read, she began to reclaim her voice. 
     
    The Jane Austen Remedy is a beautiful, life-affirming memoir of love, self-acceptance and the curative power of reading. Published the year Ruth turns ninety, it is an inspirational account of the lessons learned from Jane Austen over nearly eight decades, as well as a timely reminder that it's never too late to seize a second chance. 
     
    ‘Ruth is proof that Jane Austen is a way of thinking, of being, of loving.’ CASSIE McCULLAGH 
     
    ‘A deeply necessary book, showing elegantly and incisively how Jane Austen can guide us through life’s problems . . . and also feels like an extended chat with a Jane Austen-reading friend.’ SUSANNAH FULLERTON, President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia

    Sideman - In Pursuit of the Next

    While most successful sidemen are lucky to spend a decade in the music business, multi-instrumentalist Mark Rivera is working on his fifth. 
     
     
     
    Rivera has shared the stage with some of Rock 'n' Roll's greatest performers, including John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Tony Bennett, Sheila E., Joe Walsh, Hall & Oates, and Peter Gabriel. 
     
      
      
    How does he do it while avoiding the typical pitfalls—falling out of favor with the band, burnout, depression? 
     
     
      
    A devoted father and husband for nearly forty years, Rivera's recollections in Sideman demonstrate that while he struggled to balance the two worlds—a rock 'n' roller circling the globe and a regular guy worried about putting food on the table—his body's compulsion to always be playing music kept him in constant pursuit of "the next gig." 
     
       
      
    Full of optimism, humor, and candor, Rivera turns the spotlight on the sideman's life, revealing not only what it takes to climb the industry ladder (and stay there), but something more surprising: a bit of ourselves rocking out amongst all those superstars.
