Auntie Rita is a revised edition of the bestselling and award-winning memoir of Aboriginal woman Rita Huggins first published in 1994. Rita battled dispossession, poverty, personal tragedy and racism to create a rich meaningful life, lived out during the momentous changes of the 20th century.'Most people call me Auntie Rita, whites as well as Aboriginal people. Auntie is a term of respect of our older woman folk. You don't have to be blood-related or anything. Everyone is kin. That's a beautiful thing because in this way, no one is every truly alone, they always have someone they can turn to.' Rita Huggins was born on Bidjara/Bidyara country at Carnarvon Gorge in central Queensland. As a child in the 1920s, she met white men for the first time: troopers who forced her family into cattle trucks and drove them south to Barambah, later Cherbourg Aboriginal Reserve. At Cherbourg 'we had to stay in one place now, while the white men could roam free.'There were some happy times, but the only way out of Cherbourg for First Nations people was work. Rita worked as a housekeeper all over Queensland before meeting and marrying Jack Huggins. After Jack's untimely death, Rita struggled with grief and the challenges of being a single parent to three young children, and caring for extended family and community. As the 1960s unfolded, Rita watched the rise of First Nations activism - the 1967 Referendum, the Freedom Rides, new Aboriginal political organisations - and knew she wanted to make something better for herself, her family and for all Indigenous people. She joined Queensland's One People of Australia League and was an active member till her death in 1996. In Auntie Rita, Rita's words - interspersed with reflections from her daughter Jackie - reveal a life shaped by personal tragedy, the dramatic changes of the twentieth century and personal resilience.

Like James Ellroy's, My Dark Places, DOWN CITY is a gripping narrative built of memory and reportage, and Leah Carroll's portrait of Rhode Island is sure to take a place next Mary Karr's portrayal of her childhood in East Texas and David Simon's gritty Baltimore. Leah Carroll's mother, a gifted amateur photographer, was murdered by two drug dealers with Mafia connections when Leah was four years old. Her father, a charming alcoholic who hurtled between depression and mania, was dead by the time she was eighteen. Why did her mother have to die? Why did the man who killed her receive such a light sentence? What darkness did Leah inherit from her parents? Leah was left to put together her own future and, now in her memoir, she explores the mystery of her parents' lives, through interviews, photos, and police records. DOWN CITY is a raw, wrenching memoir of a broken family and an indelible portrait of Rhode Island- a tiny state where the ghosts of mafia kingpins live alongside the feisty, stubborn people working hard just to get by. Heartbreaking, and mesmerizing, it's the story of a resilient young woman's determination to discover the truth about a mother she never knew and the deeply troubled father who raised her-a man who was, Leah writes, "both my greatest champion and biggest obstacle."

Set during 1942-45 White’s Corner tells of a generation of youths, many of whose hopes and dreams were shattered by the War. Brenda, originally from Belfast, marries a Cardiff born sea-going deck officer, and settles in Hebburn, North East England, where they buy the very old South Eastern Hotel (Souie) in 1932. The Souie’s story is told, along with that of the factory the book takes its name from. The March 1944 National Apprentices’ Strike is covered (a serious action with a War on) which created schisms between apprentices that lasted until death in some cases. White’s Corner has many interesting characters, including the Kelly family – consisting of eight siblings, four of whom are White’s Marine Engineering Co apprentices. The sequel follows the lives of these characters after the War. The reader will laugh out loud at the accounts of apprenticeship escapades, and be moved by the many situations that arise. Every human emotion occurs within its tales.

Dining with the Famous and Infamous is an entertaining journey into the gastronomic peccadilloes of celebrities, stars, and notorious public figures. From outrageous artists to masterpiece authors, from rock stars to actors – everybody eats. Based on the findings of the British gastro-detective Fiona Ross, this volume explores the palates, the plates, and the preferences of the famous and infamous. Including recipes and their stories in the lives of those who cooked, ordered or ate them, Ross invites you to taste the culinary secret lives of people like Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Sinatra, and Woody Allen, among many others. Food voyeurism has arrived. If you’ve ever wondered whether George Orwell really swigged Victory Gin or whether cherries played their part in the fall of Oscar Wilde, then Dining with the Famous and Infamous will satisfy your appetite. 'Marilyn Monroe becomes a different kind of sex goddess when you discover she tried to eat her way out of Some Like It Hot with aubergine parmigiana: every curve you see on film is a protest (plus early signs of pregnancy!). You can recreate a ‘Get Gassed’ afternoon cocktail with Andy Warhol and Truman Capote; shake up the chocolate martini Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson invented on the set of Giant; and even relive the Swinging Sixties with the foodie tales, hedonism and hashish cookies of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. Who wouldn’t want to sit at the table of their favorite film star, writer, artist or warlock and taste a piece of their lives?

“ON A RAFT OF DREAMS” is the autobiography of multi-hyphenate Alison C. Ayres. It covers his life journey and pursuit of excellence from his earliest years in 1960s Trinidad and Tobago through to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., part of the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic. Ayres is a Pratt Institute Alumnus; a former Advertising Executive: A Songwriter; a former United Nations Environment Programme Goodwill Ambassador and a former employee of former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner (Google him), who is currently wanted by U.S. authorities. In his “MUST READ” book, Ayres tells of growing up and living on the Caribbean’s Twin Island Republic of Trinidad & Tobago, before he became a permanent resident of the United States. He shares his experiences as a foreign student at Pratt, the prestigious institution for Art and Design; as an Ad Exec; as a United Nations Environment Programme Goodwill Ambassador, as well as full details of his 5 years experience working for the disgraced former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner, from 1994 to 1998, and the events that led him to withdraw his services from the 5 football (soccer) entities he served under Warner. Ayres will tell of extreme hardships, which began from infancy, while being raised by his single parent mother who was born deaf; and despite continued hardships, how he stayed focused to relentlessly pursue and achieve his childhood dreams in Art, Music, and Football (Soccer). Alison C. Ayres was raised by his deaf single parent mother, together with 4 siblings; 3 of them who were older than he was and one younger. Growing up in abject poverty, he had witnessed his mother’s never-ending struggles to raise and provide life’s most basic necessities for her children. His mother’s struggles became his primary source of motivation to succeed, and provided the impetus for him to pursue the dreams he was harboring from his early childhood, towards his ultimate dream of making his mother both happy and proud one day. More specifically, dreams of becoming a successful professional soccer player; a bonafide commercial artists; and a successful songwriter. In pursuit of those dreams, and before he became a permanent U.S. resident, Ayres had anchored himself in his homeland, and traveled far from his humble birthplace; with hard work, grace, humility, a great amount of determination and remarkable resilience, as the major contributors to his accomplishments. Ayres is a U.S. citizen who has been living in New York for many years now.
