Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It was the spring of 1924 and the little town of Lucas, Kansas, was about to be changed forevermore. Emma Brozek had accepted the friendship and eventually the unlikely affections of her eighty one year old employer, Samuel Perry Dinsmoor, the eccentric sculptor of The Garden of Eden. She was twenty years of age an innocent and beautiful young woman. She was also my grandfather s sister. Their scandalous marriage is well documented, as is the birth of their two children. Thousands of photos have been taken of The Garden (now listed on the National Register of Historic Places), many books and articles have been written about my ancestors, and in recent years much information has been available via the internet. But I don t believe any of this tells the whole story. I ve always felt there is much more to their unconventional relationship than what has been reported. Mine is a fictionalized account, but inspired by real events. It is a love story and a ghost story. It is based on a place which really exists and you can tour for a nominal fee. It is a quiet and cold dwelling which takes you back in time the minute you step through the door and smell the musty scent of yesteryear. Some intangible history lies just beyond your grasp, but when you close your eyes and open your mind you can sense something which has passed before. The Garden continues to intrigue thousands of visitors every year, and the residents of my hometown. For those of us who know the place, it will haunt us for all of our days. There is nowhere else on earth like The Garden of Eden and I invite you to join me as we travel back to 1924 and explore the strange story of Emma and Sam.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - So. we all know Brandy's a fine girl, and what a good wife she would be, but who says (with a little luck, of course, and some lovely Irish charm) she couldn't steal the sailor from the sea ! Surely there's more to the story than what we've been told. The locket is nice, as is the braided silver chain, but come on! There must be more to Brandy's life than serving whiskey and wine to drunken sailors while she impatiently waits for the man she loves to return to her port. Travel back in time with me as we explore Brandy's life. Who was she, really Why did she continue to hold onto the hope of finding happiness with a man who has obviously rejected her Why do any of us hold onto such hope when the odds are so clearly stacked against us Is it because there's always that slight chance that our dreams may come true in the end, and the heartache will have been worth it I believe that is precisely the reason! If you agree, let's explore Brandy's story more closely to discover what we might find. Take my hand. Do you hear the rushing water as it crashes into the shore Do you feel the warm California sun as it softly kisses your face, and the light breeze as it tousles your hair If so, you're on the right track and our journey has begun.…
