Book Description
Twenty-six-year-old Aubrey Adderley is not your typical Southern California girl. Raised mostly by her grandparents, she inherited a love for an era when multimedia and technology did not yet rule the world; when a gentleman's promise was sealed with a handshake and a lady's honor was held in the highest esteem. Aubrey has a passion for classic movies from the Golden Age of cinema. MGM musicals are her favorite; Gene Kelly, her hero. At the tender age of ten, Aubrey accompanies her mother to an autograph signing and meets Mr. Kelly. Aubrey finds his reaction to her somewhat peculiar, but doesn't think about it again until years later when a series of events orchestrated by unknown forces causes everything to begin to make sense. With the help of her level-headed best friend Rusty - and the science lab which has unwittingly been left at her disposal by the doctor whose house she is sitting for the summer - our adventure-loving heroine travels to the past and encounters Gene Kelly at three very different seasons of his life. Against the backdrop of depression-era New York City, Gene and Aubrey attempt to warn an unsuspecting community on Long Island of the impending hurricane which would later be dubbed "The Long Island Express.” Aubrey battles prejudice at a time when women weren't always taken seriously, all the while fighting to stay one step ahead of the mysterious stranger who seems bent upon stopping her at every turn. She struggles against the physical toll that is an unavoidable side-effect of time traveling, and with the moral dilemmas that her travels present. Aubrey's brief visits to the past encompass nearly forty years of Gene's life. Her quest for the heart of her hero teaches her a valuable lesson about perseverance, loyalty, honor and love.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
A heartwarming, in-depth portrait of the beloved star whose sensational performances in Dirty Dancing and Ghost seduced a generation, and whose courage in the face of illness captivated millions For almost thirty years, Patrick Swayze has been an American icon of masculinity and sex appeal, strong but sensitive, romantic yet dangerous. In this intimate and revealing biography, New York Times bestselling author Wendy Leigh shares the inspiring untold story of Patrick's incredible life: his show business childhood, his fairy-tale love affair with wife Lisa Niemi, his catapult into alcoholism after his father's untimely death, the daredevil exploits that almost killed him, and his courageous fight against pancreatic cancer, a fight that has off-ered hope and encouragement to others grap-pling with similar life-threatening illnesses. Ever since the steamy low-budget film Dirty Dancing skyrocketed Patrick to fame and cemented his place in the hearts of audiences around the world, he has been one of our most cherished public figures. Based on interviews with countless sources who have never spoken about Patrick before -- from the Texas beauty who shared his first kiss, to the woman he almost married, to the manager who worked closely with him from his teen idol days until his romantic tour de force in Ghost -- and many more, Leigh unveils surprising details about the charismatic actor's life on- and off-screen. Beginning with his training as a dancer with his choreographer mother and spanning his remarkable -- and at times challenging -- career, this groundbreaking biography of the un-forgettable entertainer is the mesmerizing, enduring, and definitive story of a man who captured our hearts.
