Zustand: Good. 2 March 1810 . . . Today, I fell in love. At the age of ten, Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her--until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke, the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner, solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. And even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever. But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda. She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day--while he is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier--and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers . . .…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In 2009 American composer and performer Lin-Manuel Miranda stood on a stage at the White House, about to perform a rap song at the White House Poetry Jam. When he explained that the song's subject was Alexander Hamilton and that Hamilton embodied hip-hop, many in the audience laughed. After all, Hamilton was one of America's founders. How could a historical figure from the 1700s have anything to do with hip-hop? But the audience at the White House that night--which included President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle--sat spellbound when Miranda began his rap performance. Audiences have been reacting that way to what became Miranda's megahit musical, Hamilton, ever since its opening on Broadway in 2016, when Miranda was just thirty-five years old. Raised in New York City by Puerto Rican parents, Miranda has channeled his love for his Latino roots, diverse musical styles, and storytelling into a phenomenal career success. Hamilton won eleven Tony Awards. Miranda has also won numerous other awards and made an impact as an activist and humanitarian. With his extremely active mind and many more creative years ahead of him, Miranda seems destined to keep making a mark on the world.…
