Paperback. Etat : Good. Joanna Olenska grew up in a strict, Brooklyn Catholic orphanage and at eighteen escaped to Manhattan in search of a dream that has remained just beyond her reach for nearly twelve years. Jay Carraway has abandoned the opulent, secure life of North Greenwich, Connecticut to come to New York and pursue a career very different from the family owned mega-business that he was intended to inherit. Set against the background of the TV commercial production and advertising world of New York City during the late '50s, the novel tells that story of how Jay falls in love with Joanna and pursues her tenaciously, only to find that, for a long time, his love for her is a solo act. Joanna, four years his senior, regards him as simply a nice guy out of his element, having come from a life that she can barely comprehend, populated with people whose attitudes toward her she does not understand. Hardened by the life of a struggling actress, Joanna has wrapped herself in an emotionally protective veneer. In time, she gives in to his openness, his respect, his emotional support and lets him penetrate her shell. Elliot Pierce, a TV commercial director that hires Jay to work for him, lurks as a threat to their happiness because of his past relationship with Joanna. Elliot lives his life on a seamy edge, always giving in to his libido, yet determined to pursue a phantom dream that, in his heart, he is afraid he might catch. The aristocratic, snobbish mother of Jay regards Joanna as an unwelcome social interloper. Her efforts to destroy their relationship set in motion events take Jay years to reclaim that which he has lost and to answer questions that have haunted him since a late summer day in 1957.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Witty wisdom gleaned from many early mornings with gun in hand, dogs at his side, quietly and contemplatively awaiting his quarry. The Publisher This book appeals to the following readers: HUNTERS - Bob is an avid hunter, especially rabbit hunting. Many of the tales in this book are about hunting or the results of it. DOG ENTHUSIASTS - Bob's hunting hounds live in the house, and many of the stories are about hunting companions that are also pets. THE FAITH COMUNITY - While Bob's stories are not preachy, some are inspirational in nature. Primarily, these stories revolve around the holidays and beagles, reminiscing about hunting companions who have passed away, and fleeting references to his profession. Much of the humor comes from this faith influence, and provides an undercurrent that serves to unify the various stories. Bob's short stories provide a lot of information on rabbit hunting and training beagles, while doing so in a way that is entertaining.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This fourth installment of Ford's short stories mixes a love for the hunt and a thorough appreciation of the beagle as a cherished pet. Whether he is navigating the wild lands looking for rabbits or the wilder terrain of human relationships, the author is always looking for the important things in life, and casting them in a humorous light. Beagles and rabbit hunting are featured prominently in these collected assays, although the tales of the hunt are often a medium to tell a more profound story. Laugh along with his nostalgic remembrances of childhood, unique perspectives on life today, and the joys of living with hunting house beagles.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. They came in at 2:00 a.m. without any warning. The screaming roar from the rockets' propellant was deafening, and all my senses froze as I tried to figure out what was happening. When the rockets came over our hooches on their way to our helicopters 150 meters north of our living quarters, they were no higher than one hundred feet above us. . . . At that instant, a rocket struck in the middle of the compound. . . . I was suddenly floating eight feet in the air looking down at some guy on a bunk.In the Vietnam War, 2,197 helicopter pilots and 2,717 crew members were killed. Black Cat 2-1 is the story of one pilot who made it home and the valiant men he served with who risked their lives for the troops on the ground. Bob Ford brings readers into the Huey helicopters he flew on the missions when he and his men dared to protect and rescue. For readers who served in Vietnam, the story of the Black Cats recreates the danger they survived. For others who know little about this war, Ford invites them into the cockpit to learn firsthand what Black Cat 2-1 really means. For those whose voices were silenced in that faraway place or who have never told their stories, Ford creates a tribute that reads like a thriller, captures the humor of men at war, and resounds with respect for those who served with honor.…
