  A biography of the Kentucky women’s rights activist and progressive reformer, featuring personal interviews and recently discovered correspondence. 
   
  Preeminent Kentucky reformer and women’s rights advocate Madeline McDowell Breckinridge (1872-1920) was at the forefront of social change during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A descendant of Henry Clay and the daughter of two of Kentucky’s most prominent families, Breckinridge had a remarkably varied activist career that included roles in the promotion of public health, education, women’s rights, and charity. Founder of the Lexington Civic League and Associated Charities, Breckinridge successfully lobbied to create parks and playgrounds and to establish a juvenile court system in Kentucky. She also became president of the Kentucky Equal Rights Association, served as vice president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and even campaigned across the country for the League of Nations. 
   
  In the first biography of Breckinridge since 1921, Melba Porter Hay draws on newly discovered correspondence and rich personal interviews with her female associates to illuminate the fascinating life of this important Kentucky activist. Deftly balancing Breckinridge’s public reform efforts with her private concerns, Hay tells the story of Madeline’s marriage to Desha Breckinridge, editor of the Lexington Herald, and how she used the match to her advantage by promoting social causes in the newspaper. Hay also chronicles Breckinridge’s ordeals with tuberculosis and amputation, and emotionally trying episodes of family betrayal and sex scandals. Hay describes how Breckinridge’s physical struggles and personal losses transformed her from a privileged socialite into a selfless advocate for the disadvantaged. Later as vice president of the National American Women Suffrage Association, Breckinridge lobbied for Kentucky’s ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote in 1920. While devoting much of her life to the woman suffrage movement on the local and national levels, she also supported the antituberculosis movement, social programs for the poor, compulsory school attendance, and laws regulating child labor. 
   
  In bringing to life this extraordinary reformer, Hay shows how Breckinridge championed Kentucky’s social development during the Progressive Era.

  “Hay brings to life a multi-dimensional woman, emblematic of her times, with whom readers can identify and sympathize.” —Melanie Beals Goan, author of Mary Breckinridge: The Frontier Nursing Service and Rural Health in Appalachia

  When Theresa Marie discovered indiscretions on her husband’s phone, she was shocked. They were Christian co-ministers. They were foster parents. They were a good Christian family. What was he thinking!? 
  Over the next several years, she would uncover just how deeply the betrayal ran, and watch the unraveling of a lifetime of commitment and partnership as she faced gaslighting and abusive behaviors from the man she once knew. 
  In her debut book, Theresa Marie shares her personal testimony from an excruciating season in her life. In A Million Pieces, she is transparent about her initial responses to betrayal and trauma, the cycle of harm she willingly went on while hoping for restoration, and coming to the place of truly relying on God’s strength in her most vulnerable place. 
  Theresa exposes an epidemic in our society that has infiltrated the church, and the residual effects of pornography on marriages, families, and ministerial relationships. You will see there is victory in choosing forgiveness in order to allow healing to come. May you be encouraged to forgive and heal.

  A biography of the French fashion icon that unveils the private life behind the public image.   Coco Chanel lived her own life as a romantic heroine. Fueled by nineteenth-century literature, she built an image for herself which was partly myth and partly factual. She was the fashion designer everyone admired, the businesswoman whose fortune was impossible to track. She was also a performer, a lover of many high-profile intellectuals, and, as believed by many, a Nazi spy.   This biography explores her life from her troubled and poverty-stricken past to the opening of her first hat shop to the creation of her iconic Little Black Dress and Chanel No. 5 perfume. It explores her passions and secrets; the drama behind the scenes of her empire; and the real woman behind the brand name and pop culture image.
