On Sale Now

Three of our titles have hit the shelves this month:

WASHINGTON: THE MAKING OF THE AMERICAN CAPITAL by Bound for Canaan author Fergus M. Bordewich. The book just garnered the front page of the Washington Post Book World reviewed by non other than ubercritic Jonathan Yardley.

The headline was: WASHINGTON WAS BUILT LARGELY BY SLAVES AND CON MEN.

The book examines the backroom deal making and shifting alliances between our Founding Fathers and in doing so pulls back the curtain on the lives of slaves who actually built the city.

You can also see Fergus interviewed in this video on the HarperCollins site:


NIGHT FIRE: BIG OIL POISION AIR AND MARGIE RICHARD'S FIGHT TO SAVE HER TOWN:

They say you can't fight city hall, can't fight corporations, just plain ol' can't fight "the man" in general. But Margie Richard did. And she won, getting Shell Oil to relocate she and her neighbors out of Cancer Alley in Southern Louisiana.

You can watch a video of the case on YouTube.



Now out in Paperback:



The Women Who Raised Me by Victoria Rowell.

When I was about nine years old (go figure) I began watching the Young and The Restless over summer vacation, right about the time Victoria Rowell made her first appearance as the character Druscilla Winters. But the real Victoria has a compelling story of growing up in the foster care system which you can read about in The Women Who Raised Me.
