Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this moving and candid memoir we meet Ernestine Bradley, the wife of former senator and presidential hopeful Bill Bradley. She stood out among Senate wives: a German-born lover of languages and a transplant to America, Ernestine had a full-time career in New Jersey as a professor of comparative literature, commuted weekly to Washington, D.C., and ran two households--she was in constant motion. As the book opens, Ernestine takes us to the small town of Passau, Germany, her childhood home, offering a vivid picture of ordinary German life during the Nazi period and just after World War I. As kids on the loose while the fathers were away at war and the mothers were working, Ernestine and her pals explored the town's winding alleys and its three rivers, experiencing a sense of adventure and freedom (despite the privations of war) that would be a touchstone throughout her life. Ernestine vividly describes how she came to see opportunity in defeat as she watched the American troops roll through her little town; this was a primal moment that helped her to face everything that was to come. We follow her as she leaves West Germany, lands a glamorous job as an airline stewardess, and arrives in America, where she marries unhappily and divorces before finally meeting the basketball star and future senator. We watch their romance become an inspiring marriage of equals, his steadiness the perfect complement to her passionate, sometimes flaring nature, as their lives are soon crowded with family, the demands of their individual careers, politics, and, finally, Ernestine's fight with breast cancer. This is a wonderful, inspiring story from a woman who has triumphed--both publicly andpersonally--against great odds. It is also the introduction to an exuberant voice, one that invites us to reflect on all that we have and on how far we may have to travel to find our way home.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This memoir is about overcoming setbacks and finding hope. It's about Jeffrey L. Baxter's journey overcoming chronic depression and the resultant obesity that developed because of his inability to deal with two significant deaths. He hopes that readers will see that life is, indeed, a journey, and that hope can be found even when it seems least likely. About the Author Jeffrey L. Baxter is the oldest of five children, born when his mother had tuberculosis. His Dad had to quit architectural school to pay the bills and his mother couldn't have contact with him because of the TB. So, Baxter was raised for the first four years of his life by his Grandmother Younkin, a retired school teacher. As he grew up, she would suggest poetry and other literature for him to read to discover the answers to the questions he was asking her. Then they would sit in her rocking chairs and figure out the answers together. Baxter has taught for well over thirty years. He's a fellow of the National Writing Project and very active with his local affiliate, the Greater Kansas City Writing Project. He's presented hundreds of workshops in the Midwest and nationally. After overcoming chronic depression in the nineties and losing more than two hundred pounds, he rediscovered his teaching career and his life. He is the 2014 Kansas Teacher of the Year. He's also the 2015 Kansas Global Education Fellow, working with teachers globally. In 2015 he traveled to Peru to work with Peruvian children and educators. Baxter believes that character matters more than test scores, and that teaching literature should be a meaningful conversation between teacher and students like Baxter's conversations with his grandmother.…

Throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you see signs proudly presenting 'John Houston Custom Homes' that paint a picture of the kind of home life John would have done anything to have as a child.

John and his older brother struggled to adjust and began living by themselves with little to no adult supervision at the ages of 11 and 15.

The years that followed were challenging but also marked by God's protection, even when John didn't realize it, as he overcame hardships that could have permanently derailed his life. He met and married the woman of his dreams, completed his education and became a respected and successful business owner. And he isn't confused for one second about who's ultimately responsible for his success: God.
