Summary: As a thirteen-year-old, Elizabeth B. Alton participated in the 1920 Atlantic City International Rolling Chair Parade, an event that gave rise to the Miss America Pageant. Walking the length of the Boardwalk surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd--she remembered the day for the rest of her life. Alton narrates the details of her innocent childhood, marriage to her high school sweetheart John, and varied business ventures. Her community service is extensive and praiseworthy, especially her participation in the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs and the establishment of Stockton University. The centerpiece of her memoir is Alton's longtime association with the Miss America Pageant, providing a behind-the-scenes view of the Pageant's earliest years through the mid-1990s. Throughout, she notes the difficulties of working in a man's world determined, to gain appropriate recognition for women. It is a story of a pioneer who lived her life advocating that beauty is never enough.

Summary: A rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. A radical young Irish monk struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gathers in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. A 38-year-old grandmother turns tricks alongside her teenage daughter, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own worth. Weaving together these and other seemingly disparate lives, McCann's allegory comes alive in the voices of the city's people, unexpectedly drawn together by hope, beauty, and the "artistic crime of the century"--a mysterious tightrope walker dancing between the Twin Towers.--From publisher's description.

Summary: Deemed "the avenging angel of American justice" (Chris Matthews, Hardball), Jeanine Pirro, the famed Westchester County district attorney, presents hard truths about a justice system that she believes coddles criminals at the expense of innocent victims. Taking readers inside her daily battles on behalf of victims -- from the adolescent girl forced to assume wifely duties after her father murdered her stepmother to a hardworking man shot over a parking place -- District Attorney Pirro delivers a bold indictment of the criminal justice system and lays bare the ways in which parents, communities, and the system share complicity in fostering a dangerous environment for our citizens. With the blunt courage of a woman who has spent her entire career working in a male-dominated world, Pirro demonstrates determination and compassion that will inspire anyone who has ever been a victim -- or a victim's loved one.
