Star of the Sea
In the bitter winter of 1847, from an Ireland torn by famine and injustice, the 'Star of the Sea sets sail for New York. On board are hundreds of refugees, some optimistic, many more are desperate. Among them are a maid with a devastating secret, the bankrupt Lord Merridith and his wife and children, and a killer is stalking the decks, hungry for the vengeance that will bring absolution. This journey will see many lives end, others begin anew. Passionate loves are tenderly recalled, shirked responsibilities regretted too late, and profound relationships are shockingly discovered. In this spellbinding tale of tragedy and mercy, love and healing, the farther the ship sails toward the Promised Land, the more her passengers seem moored to a past that will never let them go. As urgently contemporary as it is historical, this gripping and compassionate novel builds with the pace of a thriller to a stunning conclusion. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - Used Item: 461717455

Life With Father
Originally serialized in The New Yorker, and later adapted for stage, screen, and television, Clarence Day's Life with Father is a cherished American classic. Set in 1890s New York, Clarence Day's tales of his father, Clarence 'Clare' Day, Sr., portray a willful, rambunctious, short-fused Wall Street broker who demands perfection. Intolerant and tyrannical in his determined battle to harness the world to his way of thinking, Clarence blusters at his wife, his cook, his horse, shopkeepers, servants, and, of course, his children and their inability to live up to his preposterous standards. Yet, the more he rants, the more comical he becomes--and the more he seems to endear himself to his beleaguered and bemused family. First published in 1935, and serialized in The New Yorker, Life with Father was adapted for the stage in 1939, brought to the screen in 1947, and went on to become a much-loved television series in the 1950s. - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461716606
