Calvary Alley


Book Description

Nance's heart sank. It was a blow to find that Mag, who was the cleverest girl in the finishing room, had been filing bottle necks for four years. She stole a glance at her stooped shoulders and sallow skin and the hideous, empty socket of her left eye. What was the good of becoming expert if it only put one where Mag was?




From Fightin' to Writin'


Book Description

An inside look at the world of professional boxing, From Fightin' to Writin' focuses on the stories few have heard. Whether it's the young prospect on his way up, the champion looking to hold on to his title, or the grizzled veteran hoping for that one big break, award-winning boxing writer Thomas Gerbasi brings their stories to you with a hard-hitting immediacy that makes you feel like you're in the locker room with some of boxing's toughest warriors before the big fight. Covering everything from women's boxing and the heavyweight division to Olympians on the rise and the international fight scene, this is not a book about Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya, or Muhammad Ali. Instead, From Fightin' to Writin' takes you deeper than ever before into the lives of fighters before and after they hit the big time.




Ann Sheridan


Book Description

Ann Sheridan was much more than just Hollywood's glamorous and sexy "Oomph Girl." She was also a versatile actress who beguiled movie audiences with her vibrant personality and no-nonsense acting style opposite some of the biggest stars of the time like James Cagney, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, and Errol Flynn. She excelled in multiple genres, including drama, comedy, and musical, with ease and individual style. Several of her movies, like Angels with Dirty Faces, Kings Row, and I Was a Male War Bride endure today as classic films from Hollywood's Golden Age. In this first-ever full-length biography, Ann Sheridan's colorful life and 34-year career are examined in detail, including her long climb to motion picture stardom, the years as a top box-office draw, her three marriages, and other significant romantic relationships.
