Book Description
This is a book about an ordinary boy whose career took him to the highest levels of Jefferies & Company, Inc., which is now the nation's largest securities firm, and who was then thrust into conflicting positions he never dreamed could happen. It is a book about a father who experienced vivid premonitions, one of which was a terrifying fatal automobile accident involving his son, which occurred one week later, claiming the life of this young man. It is about a young scholar who earned professional degrees in economics from Columbia and Oxford Universities, and who became one the nation's first champions of free markets. It is the story of what it meant to see the overwhelming destructive power of Soviet tyranny on people, yet never to give up hope of freedom, and to be honored on this behalf by the President of Estonia.

Tales from the Gringa
Author: Ruth Tolerton
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595886043
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
There is nothing extraordinarily special about author Ruth Tolerton and her husband, aside from their individual talents as human beings. They'd traveled to parts of the world and felt comfortable on foreign soil for a week or even a month at a time. They diligently and competently performed middle-class jobs and lead middle-class lives with middle-class frustrations and successes. But in 2001, the couple finds themselves quickly approaching a crossroads, and with it, the age-old question: Is this all there is? Seeking fulfillment, adventure, and passion, the Tolertons leave behind the mundane stress of a nine-to-five workday, ignore conventional expectations, and virtually run away to the peace, tranquility, and permanent blue skies of the breathtaking Mexican landscape. Tales from the Gringa recounts the funny, impractical, and inspirational post9/11 adventures the couple shares over eight months, along with their dog, in a 1984 VW Westfalia camper known as Juanita. The book is uniquely written from the perspective of both adults and even the dog. It is timeless and endlessly entertaining for those who travel, and those who simply dream.
