Sinopse

In "Jules of the Great Heart," Lawrence Mott weaves a compelling narrative that explores the life of Jules, a free trapper and outlaw navigating the rugged Hudson Bay region during its formative years. Combining historical fact with richly drawn characterizations, Mott employs a vivid literary style that blends adventure with introspective reflection, immersing readers in the untamed landscape of early North American wilderness. Through meticulous research, Mott reconstructs a nuanced period marked by cultural tensions, economic opportunities, and the quest for personal freedom, creating a tapestry that reflects the larger themes of exploitation and survival inherent in American frontier life. Lawrence Mott, an accomplished historian and writer with deep roots in American frontier studies, draws upon his extensive knowledge of the era to breathe life into this richly realized tale. His passion for the rugged terrain and complex interactions among its diverse inhabitants informs his portrayal of Jules. Mott'Äôs background in anthropology and history'Äîcoupled with personal interests in the narratives of outlaws and adventurers'Äîinformed his choice to focus on a character who embodies both rebellion and resilience against an evolving landscape. I highly recommend "Jules of the Great Heart" to readers interested in captivating historical narratives that not only entertain but also provide profound insights into the human condition. Mott's masterful storytelling and keen attention to historical detail will appeal to both history enthusiasts and fiction lovers alike, offering a riveting glimpse into a pivotal time in North American history.

    At 36 years old, Christina had it all...two young and healthy boys, an uber successful husband, and a big house in a gated-golf course community. She was young, rich, and on top of the world. On the morning of September 11, 2000, a devastating call would up-end everything and life as she knew it. While this cataclysmic event didn't mark the beginning of end of her life, it would be the test of her character, agency and faith. This book offers insight to a life journey that is extraordinary yet profoundly human. It's the chronical of an evolution from a frail child into a woman shaped by intense love, incredible upheavals, and ultimately, deep personal wisdom. Beginning with a childhood marked by illness and solitude, books and fairytales became Christina's refuge and compass. These influences weave throughout her life and the stories, not as naive fantasies, but as emotional frameworks that conflict with the sharp edges of her reality. Life takes a dramatic turn when at 25, Christina meets Jeffrey, a Wall Street Titan, whose fast-paced existence is worlds away from her quiet, reflective nature. The connection is immediate and all-consuming. Their life becomes exhilarating, fantastical, and materially abundant. The heart of this memoir is the defining moment when an unexpected phone call changes everything. This moment acts as a fault-line in Christina's life, splitting everything into a before and after. From this point on, the story becomes less about the external events and more about the quiet but radical life-changing shifts in Christina's understanding about self, love, loss, and destiny. At it's core, this story is about transformation that only comes when we are challenged and stripped of control and what we know. It's about learning to let life present itself with patience and understanding. This book is a tapestry of life-lesson stories woven together by themes of self-discovery, unconditional love, tragedy, spirituality, family, inner-strength, and grief.

    In 1932, Hazel Ying Lee, a nineteen-year-old American daughter of Chinese immigrants, sat in on a friend's flight lesson. It changed her life. In less than a year, a girl with a wicked sense of humor, a newfound love of flying, and a tough can-do attitude earned her pilot's license and headed for China to help against invading Japanese forces. In time, Hazel would become the first Asian American to fly with the Women Airforce Service Pilots. As thrilling as it may have been, it wasn't easy. 
     
     
     
    In America, Hazel felt the oppression and discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act. In China's field of male-dominated aviation she was dismissed for being a woman, and for being an American. But in service to her country, Hazel refused to be limited by gender, race, and impossible dreams. Frustrated but undeterred, she forged ahead and gave her all for the cause, achieving more in her short remarkable life than even she imagined possible. 
     
     
     
    American Flygirl is the untold account of a spirted fighter and an indomitable hidden figure in American history. She broke every common belief about women. She challenged every social restriction to endure and to succeed. And against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Hazel Ying Lee reached for the skies and made her mark as a universal and unsung hero whose time has come.
