Honestly She Doesn't Live Here...

Pamela Wick

For Pamela Wick, President and Mrs. Reagan were simply Ronnie and Nancy, her parents' best friends. What began with Pamela's mom and Nancy organizing the chili booth at their kids' school fair in Los Angeles soon propelled Pamela's parents into pivotal roles that would help Reagan secure the California governorship and eventually the grand prize: the White House. 
 
 
 
Determined to win her parents' approval as the perfect daughter, Pamela marries the son of Republican royalty and joins them in DC to begin her fairytale in the nation's Capitol—or so she thought. What follows is her firsthand look behind the scenes at the gilded age of the Reagan years in Washington, DC—an era now long gone. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but always insightful, the narrative chronicles her journey to penetrate Washington society at the highest levels—from Christmas Eve at her family home with President Reagan dressed as Santa Claus, to intimate dinners at the White House. But behind the golden gates, Pam's marriage is unraveling, and her father's high-profile political scandal threatens to destroy their carefully constructed life. Soon, she's trading in glitzy state dinners for congressional hearings attacking her father, and at the center of the Reagan revolution, Pam's own personal uprising begins.

Cooler Than Cool - The Life and...

C. M. Kushins

Drawing on unprecedented archival and family access, Cooler Than Cool: The Life of Elmore Leonard, is the first comprehensive biography of the master American crime writer, author of witty, gritty bestsellers like Get Shorty and Raylan. 
Over the course of his sixty-year career, Elmore Leonard, “the Dickens of Detroit,” published forty-five novels that have had enduring appeal to readers around the world. Revered by Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Raymond Carver, and Stephen King, his books were innovative in their blending of a Hemingway-inspired noirish minimalism and a masterful use of realistic dialogue over exposition—a direct evolution spurred by his years as a screenwriter. 
Leonard’s fiction contained many layers, and at the heart of his work were progressive themes, stemming from his years as a student of the Jesuit religious order, his personal beliefs in social justice, and his successful battle over alcoholism. He drew inspiration from greats like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, but the true motivation and brilliance behind his crime writing was the ongoing class struggle to achieve the American Dream—often seen through the eyes of law enforcement officers and the criminals they vowed to apprehend. 
C. M. Kushins tells Leonard’s full life story against recurring themes and evolving storytelling methods of his work, drawing on interviews with primary sources ranging from Leonard’s family and friends to those who acted in, produced, and directed his work onscreen. He also includes never-before-published excerpts from Leonard’s unfinished final novel and planned memoir. Definitive and revealing, Cooler Than Cool shows Leonard emerging as one of the last writers of the “pulp fiction” era of midcentury America, to ultimately become one of the most successful storytellers of the twentieth century, whose influence continues to have far-reaching effects on both contemporary crime fiction and American filmmaking.

Summary of Joe Scarborough’s...

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Joe Scarborough’s Saving Freedom 
  
When he served in Congress, political commentator Joe Scarborough hung a portrait of Harry Truman in his office. This often surprised people, as Truman had left the White House with a low level of popular support. On top of that, Joe was a Republican and Truman a Democrat. But Joe identified most of all as a conservative, especially on foreign policy. Joe was a Cold War hawk, and Truman was the first Cold Warrior. In Saving Freedom (2020), Joe reveals how Truman took the first crucial steps in defending democracy against the threat of the Soviet Union. He explains how the Truman Doctrine came to be, how it was implemented, and its success in transforming the United States from a largely isolationist state to the primary fighter for freedom and peace in the world.

The Innocents Abroad

Mark Twain

The Innocents Abroad – Mark Twain
What happens when sharp American wit collides with the grandeur of Old Europe and the mystique of the Holy Land? Enter the mind of Mark Twain, where curiosity is weaponized and tradition is gently—yet mercilessly—unraveled.
In The Innocents Abroad, Twain turns a simple travelogue into a brilliant social commentary. Through the lens of a transatlantic voyage undertaken by a group of American tourists, he scrutinizes the customs, ruins, and revered relics of the Old World. But this is no ordinary journal—it's a masterful blend of satire, observation, and unfiltered insight, where every monument becomes a metaphor, every encounter a mirror of national identity.
Join Twain and his fellow “innocents” as they marvel at the ruins of Rome, navigate the romantic chaos of Paris, and confront the solemn air of Jerusalem. Whether mocking the pomp of ancient architecture or capturing the wonder in a fleeting Mediterranean sunset, Twain’s voice oscillates between biting irony and genuine awe.
More than a travel memoir, this audiobook is a timeless interrogation of what it means to see the world—and oneself. Twain's critique of blind reverence and his celebration of independent thought feel as contemporary today as they did in the 19th century, resonating with modern listeners who seek both amusement and insight.
This immersive audiobook experience is brought to life by high-fidelity AI narration, designed to capture the nuance of Twain’s humor and the clarity of his prose—ensuring an accessible and engaging listen from start to finish.
Step aboard this unforgettable journey. Let Twain be your guide through foreign lands and familiar follies. Purchase now and rediscover the art of seeing with irreverence, intelligence, and a twinkle in the eye.
