Danny Ellis is a survivor, strong and resilient. An acclaimed singer/songwriter, he is proud of the way he handled his difficult past: poverty in the 1950s Dublin slums and the brutality of the Artane Industrial School. He felt as though he had safely disposed of it all, until one night, while writing the powerful song that would launch his highly-praised album, 800 Voices ("A searing testament." —Irish Times), Danny's past crept back to haunt him. Confronted by forgotten memories of betrayal and abandonment, he was stunned to discover that his eight-year-old self was still trapped in a world he thought he had left behind. Although unnerved by his experience, Danny begins an arduous journey that leads him back to the streets of Dublin, the tenement slums, and, ultimately, the malice and mischief of the Artane playground. What he discovers with each twist and turn of his odyssey will forever change his life. Elegantly written, this is a brutally honest, often harrowing, depiction of a young boy's struggle to survive orphanage life, and stands as an inspiring testament to the healing power of music and love.

Danny Ellis was a survivor, strong and resilient. A successful singer/songwriter, he was proud of the way he’d ‘handled’ his painful past: the grinding poverty of the 1950s Dublin slums, and the brutality of the orphanage, the notorious Artane Industrial School where he was left. He’d safely buried it. Or so he thought. Then one night, while writing a powerful song that would launch his acclaimed album, 800 Voices, his past came flooding back to haunt him. Long-forgotten memories of betrayal and abandonment burst forth in a shocking revelation: his eight-year-old self was still lost in the orphanage. Although badly shaken, Danny began a courageous journey that would lead him back to the streets of Dublin, to the tenement slums and, eventually, to the brutality and scallywag shenanigans of the Artane playground. What he found with each twist and turn of his odyssey would change his life for ever. The Boy at the Gate is a poignant, profoundly moving memoir of forgiveness and redemption, and an inspiring testament to the healing power of music and love.

FOLLOW THE GLOBAL ADVENTURES OF A GAY SAILOR AND HIS CREW AS THEY DISCOVER THE WORLD AND THEMSELVES. How do some people manifest their dreams and make them a reality? What are the secrets and characteristics that allow these people to go out and entirely change their lifestyles, abandon their careers and live a life of adventure, full of challenges and uncertainties and become better people for it? Don't we all entertain ideas of completely reinventing our lives, of having a chance to do it differently and by our own rules? At 46, and with his faithful crew aboard Julia, Captain Larry Jacobson fulfilled his childhood aspirations to become a world-class sailor and circumnavigate the globe. To do so, however, he had to face and overcome his fears, anxieties and insecurities, not only for himself, but also as a captain responsible for the lives of others. The namesake boy behind the gate is Larry himself, a passionate romantic who, since the age of 13, had fantasized discovering what's out there in the greatsense of the word. Rather than contemplate what might be, the author reveals how he made that crucial first step, the one that forever committed him to not just fantasize, but act upon his ideas and truly live to the fullest. His story carries the reader through trials, tribulations and moments of doubt as he alters everything in his life and follows through on the dream. Willing to risk all, he leaves a highly successful career, a business he created, his business and life partner of 20 years, and a comfortable lifestyle to sail into the unknown. For the following six years, his home is a floating 50-foot, self-contained environment that not only supports he and his crew, but also challenges them to face the

“One of the finest, most compelling accounts of what happened to corporate America and Wall Street in the 1980’s.” —New York Times Book Review A #1 New York Times bestseller and arguably the best business narrative ever written, Barbarians at the Gate is the classic account of the fall of RJR Nabisco. An enduring masterpiece of investigative journalism by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, it includes a new afterword by the authors that brings this remarkable story of greed and double-dealings up to date twenty years after the famed deal. The Los Angeles Times calls Barbarians at the Gate, “Superlative.” The Chicago Tribune raves, “It’s hard to imagine a better story...and it’s hard to imagine a better account.” And in an era of spectacular business crashes and federal bailouts, it still stands as a valuable cautionary tale that must be heeded.
