Paperback. Zustand: Fair. "A frank, poignant memoir about an unlikely marriage, a tragic death in Iraq, and the soul-testing work of picking up the pieces" (People) in the tradition of such powerful bestsellers as Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking and Carole Radziwill's What Remains. Artis Henderson was a free-spirited young woman with dreams of traveling the world and one day becoming a writer. Marrying a conservative Texan soldier and becoming an Army wife was never part of her plan, but when she met Miles, Artis threw caution to the wind and moved with him to a series of Army bases in dusty Southern towns, far from the exotic future of her dreams. If this was true love, she was ready to embrace it. But when Miles was training and Artis was left alone, she experienced feelings of isolation and anxiety. It did not take long for a wife's worst fears to come true. On November 6, 2006, the Apache helicopter carrying Miles crashed in Iraq, leaving twenty-six-year-old Artis--in official military terms--an "unremarried widow." In this memoir Artis recounts not only the unlikely love story she shared with Miles and her unfathomable recovery in the wake of his death--from the dark hours following the military notification to the first fumbling attempts at new love--but also reveals how Miles's death mirrored her own father's, in a plane crash that Artis survived when she was five years old and that left her own mother a young widow. Unremarried Widow is "a powerful look at mourning as a military wife.You can finish it in a day and find yourself haunted weeks later" (The New York Times Book Review).…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. An exhilarating memoir by a daughter uncovering the secret of her father?s rags-to-riches story, from poor farm boy to international drug smuggler, and the many mysteries surrounding his sudden death by plane crash.Nothing seemed awry the morning that five-year-old Artis Chester climbed into her father?s plane: this was simply their usual Saturday bonding. But moments after they take off into the crystal blue sky, the plane plummets to the ground, leaving Artis with a broken body--and without a father.This tragedy would be enough to shape any young life, but Artis?s world is further turned upside down when, shortly thereafter, the IRS arrives to seize all her family?s possessions. Lamar Chester had always had an air of mystery about him, but now her mother won?t say a word. He?d been a dashing commercial pilot, settling his family in a palatial estate in Georgia, amassing a collection of boats, cars, a private plane and even a group of islands in the Bahamas. But Artis, as a young child, had thought little of it before the accident.It would take years for Artis to begin to uncover the truth: Lamar had made his multi-million-dollar fortune smuggling drugs between the Bahamas and Florida in the 70s and 80s, and many of his compatriots believed that he had been covertly working for the Feds. As more and more details emerge, it becomes clear that the plane crash that took Lamar?s life was not a simple pilot error but perhaps a plot by high-ranking government officials to cover up crimes that far exceeded Lamar?s drug smuggling.In the page-turning adventures of Flying Blind, this critically acclaimed memoirist vividly chronicles her father?s outsized life, including his rise from poor farm boy to one of America?s most prolific drug smugglers, probes for the first time the suspicious circumstances of his death, and ultimately offers a compassionate, clear-eyed look at the people left in his wake.…
