Lean on me / by Simmons, Pat,1959-author.(CARDINAL)400192;

"Tabitha Knicely loves her career as a pharmaceutical rep, but even her health care knowledge isn't much help with the daily challenges she now faces caring for her aunt with Alzheimer's. Her once organized lifestyle is in disarray and her patience is tested. On Sunday mornings, when Aunt Tweet drags her to church, though Tabitha isn't a believer, the peaceful presence of faith is a welcome relief. Marcus Whittington believes in second chances, so he hires former inmates to staff the industrial cleaning service he owns with his brother. When a mystery woman who keeps showing up on his porch turns out to be an elderly neighbor, Marcus is outraged at what he perceives as neglect on the part of her caregiver. Marcus soon learns that being a caregiver is a demanding, compassionate act of kindness that he has never experienced before. After several encounters with Aunt Tweet and Tabitha, his heart is drawn to the family's distress. Marcus is determined to help Tabitha, and a friendship that started out with a grave misunderstanding soon begins to blossom into a relationship filled with love, faith, and partnership. Life is easier, when you have someone to lean on"--

Dirty real : exile on Hollywood and Vine with the gin mill cowboys / by Stanfield, Peter,1958-author.(CARDINAL)894083;

"This is the tale of how Hollywood, inspired by the success of Easy Rider, sold a cycle of films as the new dirty real. Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Monte Hellman, Jack Nicholson, Kris Kristofferson, and Sam Peckinpah, among others, drew on a nostalgia for the gutter and donned bohemian personae, pulling on soiled shirts and scuffed boots to better counter the glamour and phoniness of Tinseltown. With great care for the historical record and displaying a refined critical acuity, Peter Stanfield captures that pivotal moment when Hollywood tried to sell a begrimed vision of itself to the world"--Dust jacket.Introduction: Dirt for Dirt's Own Sake -- The Hired Hand: Circling Back to the End Again -- The Last Movie: Dennis Hopper's Three-Ring Circus -- The Last Picture Show, Five Easy Pieces and Payday: Cowboy Rhythm on KTRN -- The Shooting, Ride in the Whirlwind and Two-Lane Blacktop: Who's Monte Hellman, You Ask? -- Cisco Pike: Kris Kristofferson Has Got a Great Future behind Him -- Dirty Little Billy: Scuffling on Madison Ave -- McCabe and Mrs Miller: Pipe Dreams--Lows and Highs -- Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid: Angels Descend and Graves Open -- Conclusion: Bring Me the Head.Includes bibliographical references, filmography, and index.

Penelope's bones : a new history of Homer's world through the women written out of it / by Hauser, Emily(Fiction writer),author.(CARDINAL)413616;

But these are not just tales about heroic men. There are scores of women as well-complex, fascinating women whose presence is pivotal to the stories. Essential reading for anyone who loves the novels of Madeline Miller, Pat Barker, or Natalie Haynes, this riveting new history reveals the real women of the Bronze Age Aegean, offering a groundbreaking reassessment of women in the ancient world. Following in the footsteps of Helen, Briseis, Cassandra, Aphrodite, Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso, and Penelope, award-winning classicist and ancient historian Emily Hauser pieces together compelling evidence from the original texts and archaeological excavations. Readers will learn about era-defining discoveries such as the excavation of Troy and the deciphering of Linear B tablets, as well as more recent finds such as the tomb of the Griffin Warrior at Pylos, whose grave goods inspire reconsideration of traditional gender attributes; DNA evidence showing that groups of Thracian warriors buried with their weapons and steeds were in fact female fighters; a prehistoric dye workshop on Crete that casts fresh light on "women's work" of dyeing, spinning, and weaving textiles; and a superbly preserved shipwreck off the coast of Turkey whose contents tell of the economic and diplomatic networks crisscrossing the Bronze Age Mediterranean"--

This deeply researched and revealing book shows how a loving and devoted marriage helped the King and Queen meet the challenges of World War II, lead a nation, solidify the public's faith in the monarchy, and raise their daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. When King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936, shattering the Crown's reputation, his younger brother, known as Bertie, assumed his father's name and became King George VI. Shy, sensitive, and afflicted with a stutter, George VI had never imagined that he would become King. His wife, Elizabeth, a pretty, confident, and outgoing woman who became known later in life as "the Queen Mum," strengthened and advised her husband. With his wife's support, guidance, and love, George VI was able to overcome his insecurities and become an exceptional leader, navigating the country through World War II, establishing a relationship with Winston Churchill, visiting Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt in Washington and in Hyde Park, and inspiring the British people with his courage and compassion during the Blitz. Simultaneously, George VI and Elizabeth trained their daughter Princess Elizabeth from an early age to be a highly successful monarch, and she would reign for an unprecedented seventy years. Sally Bedell Smith gives us an inside view of the lives, struggles, hopes, and triumphs of King George VI and Elizabeth during a dramatic time in history."--
