The Truth About Butterflies by Nancy Stephan
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 230 KB
Overview: They belong to each other. Nancy and Nicole mother and daughter. They’re two halves of a whole, two facets of the same breath until the day Nicole exhales. . . and never inhales again. After the death of her daughter, and quickly losing her own battle with grief, Nancy moves from the house she can no longer bear to live in. While packing, she finds a box in the attic. Inside she uncovers treasures she didn’t know existed and evidence that she and her daughter’s lives had been more divinely entwined than she could’ve imagined. The Truth About Butterflies is a true story of grief, hope, and transformation, and a single enduring truth: Life cannot be restrained by death.

A Soldier of the Queen by Bernard O’Mahoney, Mick McGovern
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 326 KB
Overview: Published in February 2001, this is O’Mahoney’s account of his time with the British Army as a soldier in the early 1980s, including his involvement in the Northern Ireland troubles which included frequent clashes with the IRA.
I bought this book while in Ireland and have since bought all O’Mahoney’s others. This book is excellent because it is brutally honest in all aspects, which at times, makes it difficult to read, yet at the same time, impossible to turn away from. While much of the author’s behavior is reprehensable, he does not try to make excuses for it. He really leaves the book open ended as if to say ‘this kind of thing happens all the time.’
What makes this book so interesting is that is is the story of a street thug who becomes a soldier at the time of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland. This book is highly recommended to anyone with interest in true crime or 20th century Irish history. Its graphic honesty makes it almost impossible to put down.

The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert A. Caro
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 3.5 MB
Overview: One of the most acclaimed books of our time, winner of both the Pulitzer and the Francis Parkman prizes, The Power Broker tells the hidden story behind the shaping (and mis-shaping) of twentieth-century New York (city and state) and makes public what few have known: that Robert Moses was, for almost half a century, the single most powerful man of our time in New York, the shaper not only of the city’s politics but of its physical structure and the problems of urban decline that plague us today. In revealing how Moses did it–how he developed his public authorities into a political machine that was virtually a fourth branch of government, one that could bring to their knees Governors and Mayors (from La Guardia to Lindsay) by mobilizing banks, contractors, labor unions, insurance firms, even the press and the Church, into an irresistible economic force Robert Caro reveals how power works in all the cities of the United States. Moses built an empire and lived like an emperor. He personally conceived and completed public works costing 27 billion dollars the greatest builder America (and probably the world) has ever known. Without ever having been elected to office, he dominated the men who were–even his most bitter enemy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, could not control him–until he finally encountered, in Nelson Rockefeller, the only man whose power (and ruthlessness in wielding it) equalled his own.

Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley by David Browne
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 476 KB
Overview: Jeff Buckley’s drowning in 1997 was proclaimed a tragedy, not only because the 30-year-old singer-songwriter was perched on the cusp of stardom but also because his death so eerily mirrored the premature demise of his father, folk-rock icon Tim Buckley. In Dream Brother, music critic David Browne offers an incisive portrait of the ill-fated father and son, examining their deaths and their short, though accomplished, careers. Browne’s keen reporting and strong sense of the complex relationship between Jeff and Tim Buckley create a gripping account of a young artist hurtling toward his own destruction and a lyrical story of two lives adrift on the same churning river. Too discerning to simply attribute Jeff’s death to some otherworldly, shared destiny with his father — who died in 1975 at 28 — the author instead paints a compelling picture of two valuable artists who never should have left the world so early. Dream Brother avoids dwelling on the similarities between father and son, but its focus on their individual paths makes the coincidences all the more haunting.
