Summary:

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Residence and First Women, the first ever authorized biography of the most famous movie star of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Taylor.

No celebrity rivals Elizabeth Taylors glamour and guts or her level of fame. She was the last major star to come out of the old Hollywood studio system and she is a legend known for her beauty and her magnetic screen presence in a career that spanned most of the twentieth century and nearly sixty films. But her private life was even more compelling than her Oscar-winning on-screen performances. During her seventy-nine years of rapid-fire love and loss she was married eight times to seven different men. Above all, she was a survivorby the time she was twenty-six she was twice divorced and once widowed. Her life was a soap opera that ended in a deeply meaningful way when she became the first major celebrity activist to lead the fight against HIV/AIDS. A co-founder of amfAR, she raised more than $100 million for research and patient care. She was also a shrewd businesswoman who made a fortune as the first celebrity perfumer who always demanded to be paid what she was worth.

In the first ever authorized biography of the Hollywood icon, Kate Andersen Brower reveals the world through Elizabeths eyes. Brower uses Elizabeths unpublished letters, diary entries, and off-the-record interview transcripts as well as interviews with 250 of her closest friends and family to tell the full, unvarnished story of her remarkable career and her explosive private life that made headlines worldwide. Elizabeth Taylor captures this intelligent, empathetic, tenacious, volatile, and complex woman as never before, from her rise to massive fame at age twelve in National Velvet to becoming the first to negotiate a million-dollar salary for a film, from her eight marriages and enduring love affair with Richard Burton to her lifelong battle with addiction and her courageous efforts as an AIDS activist. 

Here is a fascinating and complete portrait worthy of the legendary star and her legacy.

Title: Defending Alice: A Novel of Love and Race in the Roaring Twenties

Author: Richard Stratton

Narrator: Imani Jade Powers, James Anderson Foster, Joel Froomkin

Language: English

Summary:

Gripping courtroom drama and social commentary . . . the story flows well . . . [the author is] masterful in building suspense.Kirkus Reviews

Set in 1920s New York, an addictively readable, thoroughly entertaining historical novel involving sex and secrets, race and redemption, and power and privilegebased on a sensational real-life case that made international headlinesin which the marriage between a working-class black woman and the scion of one of Americas most powerful white families ends in a scandalous annulment lawsuit.

When Alice Jones, a blue-collar woman with at least one Black parent marries Leonard Kip Rhinelander, the son of one of New Yorks most prominent society families, the scandal rocks high societyand eventually sets the city afire when Kip later sues for an annulment, accusing Alice of having hidden her Negro blood and intentionally deceiving him that she was white.

While New York society in the Roaring Twenties witnessed more than a few scandals, the real-life Rhinelander case set tongues wagging and became perhaps the most examined interracial relationship in American history. In Defending Alice, Richard Stratton reimagines this remarkable story, from the couples courtship through their controversial marriage to their shocking divorce trial and its aftermath. Chronicled by Alices attorney, brilliant trial lawyer Lee Parsons Davis, and told in flashbacks and entries from Alice and Kips fictional personal diaries, this epic page-turner vividly brings to life the New York of a century agoa world seemingly far removed yet tragically familiar to our own.

Stratton brilliantly evokes this dazzling era in all its glamour and excess, and in retelling the Rhinelander story, explores issues of sex, race, class, prejudice, and justice that are as relevant today as they were a century ago when this headline-making trial took place.

Its December twenty-second and siblings Henry, Kate, and Martin have converged with their spouses on Henrys house in upstate New York. This is the first Christmas the siblings are without their mother, the first not at their mothers Florida house. Over the course of the next three days, old resentments and instabilities arise as the siblings, with a gaggle of children afoot, attempt to perform familiar rituals, while also trying to decide what to do with their mothers house, their sole inheritance.
