Book Description
Ron and Connie McCall find almost everything in their lives new. They’re in a new city, at a new school and a new job, and occupying a new apartment in a home with a history – which is all very manageable until a neighbor is mugged, and supernatural visits complicate their lives. Neither of them has an interest in paranormal phenomena until they learn of the death of a previous resident. Her mysterious visits to their apartment confound police, landlords, and friends. One such friend is a thirty-year-old, developmentally delayed man who is a neighborhood favorite. Their affection for him becomes an endearing thread woven through a knotty fabric of paranormal challenges and a cast of quirky characters.

Circle of Greed
Author: Patrick Dillon
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0767929950
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Circle of Greed is the epic story of the rise and fall of Bill Lerach, once the leading class action lawyer in America and now a convicted felon. For more than two decades, Lerach threatened, shook down and sued top Fortune 500 companies, including Disney, Apple, Time Warner, and—most famously—Enron. Now, the man who brought corporate moguls to their knees has fallen prey to the same corrupt impulses of his enemies, and is paying the price by serving time in federal prison. If there was ever a modern Greek tragedy about a man and his times, about corporate arrogance and illusions and the scorched-earth tactics to not only counteract corporate America but to beat it at its own game, Bill Lerach's story is it.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
A 2021 National Jewish Book Award Finalist One of Smithsonian Magazine's Best History Books of 2021 "An uplifting tale, suffused with a karmic righteousness that is, at times, exhilarating." —Wall Street Journal "A gripping narrative that reads like a page turning thriller novel." —NPR In the summer of 1942, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in their Polish town by fleeing to the forbidding Bialowieza Forest. They miraculously survived two years in the woods—through brutal winters, Typhus outbreaks, and merciless Nazi raids—until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. After the war they trekked across the Alps into Italy where they settled as refugees before eventually immigrating to the United States. During the first ghetto massacre, Miriam Rabinowitz rescued a young boy named Philip by pretending he was her son. Nearly a decade later, a chance encounter at a wedding in Brooklyn would lead Philip to find the woman who saved him. And to discover her daughter Ruth was the love of his life. From a little-known chapter of Holocaust history, one family’s inspiring true story.
