Book Description
Thoroughbreds is the second book of the Angela Bishop trilogy, where she continues to take up the lifelong ambition of her idealistic twin brother, who was killed in Vietnam. Throughout the story she wrestles with an overwhelming sense of destiny as she struggles against Otto Schroeder, falls in love with a draft dodger and winds up on the state political scene. Angela decides to run for political office, partly so she can oppose Otto's plan, who among other things, is trying to push a bill to stop President Carter's mandate to give amnesty to draft dodgers.As with the rest of the trilogy, Thoroughbreds is written in the tradition of a carefully detailed plot, drawn out sparingly in a sensitive, internal monologue. The book expresses a sense of destiny that many people have, and who would enjoy reading about someone who begins to experience its fulfillment.Although this book stands alone outside the trilogy, characters from the other two books live in this story, and oh yes'¦a few horses.

Book Description
This is a story about a woman who runs for President of the United States. It involves international intrigue, alliances with Canada, a contest with the sitting President over whether to enter into a skirmish in an Eastern European country, and a former lover who ends up running against her. There is time spent in New York State on the campaign trail, debates with political rivals, a conflict against the possiblilty of an Arab alliance with a Central American country, dealing with oil exploitation in the Yukon, interplay with the campaign commitee, and encounters with the press, as well as an attempt on her life. The plot is high concept with dense plotting, but with light moments such as sexual interludes and one slapstick party scene involving a prime minister, a couple of senators, and a reporter. The writing is in the tradition of a carefully detailed plot, drawn out sparingly in a sensitive internal monologue, with a compelling love story and a personal encounter with the abortion issue.

Book Description
The present work is the result of consultation and cooperation. Those engaged in its composition have had but one purpose, and that was to give to the people of Kentucky a social and political account of their state, based on contemporaneous history, as nearly as the accomplishment of such an undertaking were possible. It has not been the purpose of those who have labored in concert to follow any line of precedent. While omitting no important event in the history of the state, there has been a decided inclination to rather stress those events that have not hitherto engaged the attention of other writers and historians, than to indulge in a mere repetitionot that which is common knowledge. How far they have succeded in this purpose a critical public must determine.

Book Description
A juke box is a bright, colorful modern era troubadour with a repertoire of popular songs. You select (and insert coins) to hear a ballad, a love song, a cautionary tale, a humorous, or sad, or happy song. You get tears or smiles or both at the same time. Sometimes you get a gift you weren't expecting. But always your heart is pierced once again and the nickel dream is over too soon. I hope that you like the songs in this Juke Box.
