So when your day and your temper both seem like a wet bar of soap--hard to get a grip on--don't work up a lather! Pick up Chonda Pierce on Her Soapbox instead. You'll do more than get a chuckle--you'll discover that God is deeply interested in everything about you.
Although there has been little scholarly interest in Franklin Pierce, the issues of his administration--the Kansas-Nebraska Act, turmoil over Kansas, the Abolitionist crusade, the enforcement of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act--and the political convulsions that took place have all been of interest, particularly to scholars examining the causes of the Civil War. This annotated bibliography provides information on sources pertaining to Pierce, his times, his administration, and other important figures in the government. The work also includes an introduction, chronology of Pierce's life, and indexes.

Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for shiftless men, and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter. Out of these elements, Cain creates a novel of acute social observation and devastating emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable.
WE PIERCE is the story of two brothers: one brother, Smith, goes to war. A true believer, he leads a tank company into battle in Iraq during the Gulf War. There he learns about the true nature of patriotism, camaraderie, modern warfare and, finally, the soldiers' secret that some things learned over there are better not brought back home. Meanwhile Sam, an aspiring writer, as much a rebel as his older brother is a natural leader, is busy protesting against the war in Times Square in New York and on the Capitol steps in Washington, D.C. But he questions the strength of his own beliefs, while losing his own battle with alcohol and narcotics. Both brothers are haunted by the depth of the sacrifice at home incurred by their family's commitment to honour and duty on battlefields abroad. As he did with his first novel, AMERICAN BY BLOOD, acclaimed novelist Andrew Huebner draws on his family's long experience with violence and military service and renders a haunting novel of war. From the desert of Iraq to the Lower East Side of New York, WE PIERCE is about fighting for what you believe in, no matter what the cost to yourself or your family.
