Set in the glittering heart of 1920s Paris, The Paris Bookseller tells the inspiring true story of Sylvia Beach, a visionary woman who defied convention, built a legendary bookstore, and quietly changed the course of literary history.
 
When Sylvia opens Shakespeare and Company, a small English-language bookshop on the Left Bank, she dreams of creating more than a place to sell books—she builds a sanctuary for writers, misfits, and revolutionaries of thought. As her shop becomes the epicenter of the modernist movement, she forms deep bonds with literary giants like James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and Gertrude Stein.

    The epic story of new arrivals in the Old West—a proud family of dreamers in the wilds of Texas Hill Country . . . 
 
 
 
They came to America to start a new life. Three brothers and their sister, the Baxter heirs lost everything they had in Europe so they boarded a ship to the Texas coast, hoping to stake a claim in the land of opportunity. They knew frontier life will be hard. But their troubles begin before they even reach Texas. A man is killed on board—a member of the fierce MaClochlainn clan who blame one of the Baxters for his death. So begins a blood-drenched feud that will haunt and pursue them as they try to build a future in Texas Hill Country . . . 
 
 
 
Now a fugitive on the run, the wrongly accused Perry Baxter changes his name and joins the Texas Rangers—waiting for the day his past catches up to him. His oldest brother, Athelston, struggles to build a ranch in Commanche territory while the middle brother Jeremy turns to gambling and running with outlaws. Their sister, Bodie, falls in love with a rugged frontiersman, who teaches her the importance of riding, hunting—and shooting—in a life-or-death game of survival. Each of the siblings have forged a path of their own. But when one of them is in trouble—and a rival is out for revenge—the Baxters stick together. Because family is family. And blood is thicker than bullets . . .

    The papers call me "the gentleman killer." I wrapped the throat of my first victim in the silk scarf with which I strangled her. That's what passes as a gentleman these days. I ask you: How do you reconcile a man who is capable of deep, tender love (because I've felt it), a man, who—by public standards—is a health reformer, assistant to the future British Prime Minister ,and the son-in-law of a wealthy industrialist, but who, when the moment overtakes him, kills women? I don't know what to make of it myself, but that's me. I've been told I have a philosopher's mind, that I'm ambitious and can do anything I set my mind to—but sometimes my sadomasochistic tendencies get the better of me. I don't venture judgement—on myself or anyone else. I'll leave that up to you. My name is Kilcairn, and these are my confessions.
