After the battle of Orakau in 1864 and the end of the war in the Waikato, Tawhiao, the second Maori King, and his supporters were forced into an armed isolation in the Rohe Potae, the King Country. For the next twenty years, the King Country operated as an independent state - a land governed by the Maori King where settlers and the Crown entered at risk of their lives.Dancing with the King is the story of the King Country when it was the King's country, and of the negotiations between the King and the Queen that finally opened the area to European settlement. For twenty years, the King and the Queen's representatives engaged in a dance of diplomacy involving gamesmanship, conspiracy, pageantry and hard headed politics, with the occasional act of violence or threat of it. While the Crown refused to acknowledge the King's legitimacy, the colonial government and the settlers were forced to treat Tawhiao as a King, to negotiate with him as the ruler and representative of a sovereign state, and to accord him the respect and formality that this involved. Colonial negotiators even made Tawhiao offers of settlement that came very close to recognising his sovereign authority.Dancing with the King is a riveting account of a key moment in New Zealand history as an extraordinary cast of characters - Tawhiao and Rewi Maniapoto, Donald McLean and George Grey - negotiated the role of the King and the Queen, of Maori and Pakeha, in New Zealand.

An epic generational tale of loves lost, promises kept, dreams broken, and monarchies shattered, To Dance with Kings is a story of passion and privilege, humble beginnings and limitless ambition. On a May morning in 1664, in the small village of Versailles, as hundreds of young aristocrats are coming to pay court to King Louis XIV, a peasant fan-maker gives birth to her first and only child, Marguerite. Determined to give her daughter a better life than the one she herself has lived, the young mother vows to break the newborn’s bonds of poverty and ensure that she fulfills her destiny—to dance with kings. Purely by chance, a drunken nobleman witnesses the birth and makes a reckless promise to return for Marguerite in seventeen years. With those fateful words, events are set into motion that will span three monarchies, affecting the lives of four generations of women. Marguerite becomes part of the royal court of the Sun King, but her fairy-tale existence is torn out from under her by a change of political winds. Jasmin, Marguerite’s daughter, is born to the life of privilege her grandmother dreamed of, but tempts fate by daring to catch the eye of the king. Violette, Marguerite’s granddaughter, is drawn to the nefarious side of life among the nobles at Versailles. And Rose, Violette’s daughter, becomes a lady-in-waiting and confidante to Marie Antoinette. Through Rose, a love lost generations before will come full circle, even as the ground beneath Versailles begins to rumble with the chaos of the coming revolution.

Like fire and fuel, they can never be in the same place at once without igniting. She is a heartbreaker, the master of mayhem and havoc, but, however dark and hard to break she is, she can never break free of His shadow. The search is on! The prince tracks closely her trail to make peace wherever she makes trouble. Like her, He is the master at what He does. If there is a funeral, she furnished it; if there is a feast, He outfoxed her because He put a fix on the funeral. If it’s in pieces, she broke it, but the prince of peace is a master at taking broken parts and making masterpieces. Whether your misfortune was happenstance, or you made it happen by taking a chance—whether you have conquered kingdoms, or accomplished nothing—man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. Whether the trouble you suffered was involuntary through inheritance or by accident, or whether you volunteered because you thought you could control it, we all, sooner or later, will come face-to-face with Ms. Fortune. She never discriminates; she searches for the sons of presidents as well as for the pauper’s daughter. Make no mistake about who the Master was looking for. Indeed, it is for Ms. Fortune and Ms. Carry alike; it is documented that anywhere He found Ms. Fortune misbehaving, looking to miscarry a situation, He always caused Ms. Carry to misfire when someone was being mistreated.

This is a book about self-esteem. We all have it, but sometimes it can be injured in such a way that it will scar a person for life. When someone you totally love and trust takes part of that self-esteem away, especially at an early age, you will more than likely believe it to its full wordage. This is what happened to me. It took more than forty years for it to come to its full fruition. It took a miracle to work a healing on me. It is possible to stop the invisible destruction of a hurt that is so deep, if you will only believe.

I've got CFIDS, she explained. Epstein-Barr. And I really hate it. I've got HIV+AIDS, he said softly. And I really hate it. The two medical syndromes looked at each other. So starts out this beautifully written novel about Grace McHeath whose life is turned upside down when famous fashion designer Henry Honri Smith comes to the lake on her property to die. Faced with the task of unburdening himself with his prior life, he gratefully accepts Grace's terse invitation to stay in her studio until his disease wins its battle. Coming out of her own personal shell of isolation, Grace weaves a tale to help ease the pain of his suffering. The guided meditation takes Grace, Henry, and Henry's faithful nurse, Myrtle on a road trip to Conyers, but not before taking a detour to Graceland where Henry dances to Jailhouse Rock. As she tells her story with detailed meticulousness, Grace discovers an awakening within her soul and she uncovers her own limiting truths.

When he was twenty-five, Sam Aldrich danced with Queen Elizabeth II in London. By the time he was thirty-seven, he was marching with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma. Recounting the journey between and beyond those two points, and musing over the irony of the contrast they represent, is the subject of this remarkable and entertaining memoir. After a cosseted childhood in New York's silk stocking district, including weekends on Long Island's Gold Coast and summers in Dark Harbor, Maine, Aldrich was expected to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue a career in high finance. "Dancing with the queen of England was just a small function of the privileged life and family into which I was born," he writes, "and events such as this would be a regular part of my upper-class, well-traveled social life." Instead, and to his parents' chagrin, he chose decades of hard work in the public sector, serving as deputy police commissioner in New York City, director of the New York State Division for Youth, executive assistant to Governor Nelson Rockefeller, president of the Brooklyn Center of Long Island University, and commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, before entering teaching full-time at midlife. Illustrated with photographs from Aldrich's personal collection, this lively memoir offers personal insights into New York State politics and history. Whether working to develop an effective system for rehabilitating juvenile offenders in New York City, trying to find an environmentally sound means for development in the Hudson River Valley, or teaching public policy at SUNY's Empire State College, Aldrich shows what it means to follow one's passions and interests, and to take the gifts one has been given and use them to try to make this world a better place.
