The Stargazer's Sister


Book Description

Caroline, known as “Lina” to her family, has always lived in the shadow of her older brother William Herschel’s accomplishments. And yet when William invites Lina to join him in England to assist in his musical and astronomical pursuits—not to mention to run his bachelor household—she accepts, finding a new sense of purpose. William may be an obsessive genius, but Lina adores him, and aids him with the same fervency as a beloved wife. When William decides to marry, however, Lina’s world collapses. As she attempts to rebuild a future, we witness the dawning of an early feminist consciousness—a woman struggling to find her own place among the stars.

Summary of Mackenzie Phillips's High On Arrival


Book Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My father, John Phillips, was a rock star, the leader and songwriter of the Mamas the Papas. He was fabulously rich and famous. After school on Friday, a cavernous Fleetwood limo would transport us to either his mansion in Bel Air or his mansion in the Malibu Colony. #2 My parents’ lives were completely different. My father was always surrounded by a noisy, outrageous, wild party, while my mother took me shopping in Beverly Hills. The contrast between their lives was far bigger than just their different lifestyles. #3 I was always aware of the effect my father had on my mother. I was envious of the life she had, and I was aware that she was jealous, angry, and sad. I was always free at my father’s house, and I loved it. #4 I was always surrounded by men with guitars. My father’s friends were all drug addicts, but they were still very cool and attractive to me. I wanted to be like them.
