Kansas City born and bred Harry Dean Burke is a renowned pilot in the 1920s during those early years of flying. He has refurbished an old Curtiss aircraft from World War I and gives flying lessons in his time off from work as an auto mechanic. Born to an upper class family, Harry Dean's marriage to beautiful and biracial Vivian Fitzwarren is frowned upon by his family. But Harry Dean and Vivian bond deeply and romantically, realizing that a person's color is only skin deep. When her beloved husband is killed in a plane accident, Vivian wonders how she can go on Without Harry Dean, the man she loves so much. This heart-warming novel based on true events reaches across generations and cultures, as Vivian must live on without her great love. J.B. DiNizo is a retired librarian who grew up in Vermont. "This is basically a story about my father's older brother who was a pilot in those early days of aviation. He married someone of whom the family disapproved, and no one kept in touch with her after my uncle's death in an air crash in Baxter Springs, Kansas. So this is my 'made-up' version of my uncle and aunt's story." Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/JBDiNizo

In 1940, Walt Disney released his second feature film: Pinocchio, based on Carlo Collodi’s 1883 Italian children’s novel. The film was groundbreaking: it pioneered the latest animation and sound technology of the era, and established a blueprint for Disney filmmaking that remains intact today. It became the first animated feature to win a competitive Academy Award® (in fact, it won two), and earned a place on the roster of the National Film Registry. Pinocchio’s crucial role has endured decades, given its rare 100% rating on the film Website Rotten Tomatoes and the lively discourse that continues to surround the film today. To celebrate the film’s 75th anniversary, author J.B. Kaufman presents a complete history of the making of Pinocchio, from source material to rerelease. Pinocchio, published in partnership with the Walt Disney Family Foundation and the Walt Disney Family Museum, is an in-depth exploration of the making of the film. Academy Award-winning animator and film historian John Canemaker says of Pinocchio: “In great detail, J. B. Kaufman reveals the struggles, triumphs and disappointments encountered by Disney and his staff during the creation of this sacred monster of a film. Woven here is a once-upon-a-time story sure to fascinate and inform readers, an exciting adventure into the inner workings of a one-of-a kind studio and team at its creative peak.” Go behind to the scenes with stories of the inner workings of the Golden Age of Animation, the animators’ personalities and story changes like why Jiminy Cricket’s character almost got left on the cutting room floor. Over 300 photographs, Illustrations and concept sketches – many of which are available for the very first time – accompany the story behind the story. Become a part of the wild, legendary ride that was the making of Pinocchio.
Based on a true story, Saving Joey Peterson chronicles the life of a boy whose entire world is shattered upon discovering he's adopted. Exposed to pornography at a tender age, he's an impulsive dreamer with trust and self-esteem issues. His adoptive parents struggle with alcoholism making it difficult to battle the forces ripping apart their dysfunctional family. A raging conflict ensues, pitting them against adoption agency and Child Protective Services personnel. Two social workers and a school teacher work feverishly to open an investigation into his parents' abusive conduct hoping to remove Joey from their custody before it's too late. As this powerful drama unfolds, the couple's increasing egocentricity places Joey in more danger. And during a lapse in judgment, they hire a nanny with a secret criminal past and a sexual appetite for little boys. The nanny sets her sights on Joey. And when the Petersons uncover her monstrous scheme, they sweep it under the rug. Abandoned by relatives and teachers, his cries for help are ignored. Left to fend for himself, he grapples with the specter of victimhood. Politically insulated, the Petersons seem untouchable, while Joey cries out for solidarity and justice in his favor. J. B.
