Lady Books

When a fabulous legacy brought Cordelia Darcy from her home in America to a splendid townhouse in Regency London, the high-spirited young heiress took aristocratic society by storm. One man, however, was not moved by her beauty, wit and charm. Instead he considered her a rude, crude, unprincipled schemer who had gained her fortune by despicable trickery and who had become the toast of society by scandalous effrontery. That man was the handsome, blue-blooded, utterly icy Earl of Wyndham-the most infuriating man Cordelia had ever met...and the most irresistible...

I think it's a wonderful romance

If you are a Southerner with South Carolina roots, you will find this book an enlightening, amazing, amusing,sometimes astounding look into your ancestors's world in the early 1900's.Owen Wister explained much to me about southerners who weren't the rednecks we are so often considered to be.I found Wister's descriptions vivid. They put me there on the streets of King's Point, in the churchyard cemetery with the hero and in his friend,with him at the boarding house dinner table, and with him on the bottom of a boat moored on a woodland stream. I could all but feel the humidity and smell the smells he so evokes in all his scenes.His many tongue in cheek observations gave me belly laughs as I recalled people from long ago.

Back cover reads:
"Lady be mine!"
These were the last words Melody Worth ever expected to hear from James Logan's lips. She happened to be very wealthy, which had never been a problem till now...and James seemed to despise her because of her money. That Melody liked helping other people, including James's father, had no effect on James. In fact, he accused her of interfering!
Melody didn't know how to cope with obstinate, infuriating James...Then it suddenly hit her! She was in love with James, but he insisted they had no future together. Melody would simply have to change his mind.

Lady Bird Johnson became the First Lady under tragic circumstances. At the outset of this volume she speaks of the Kennedy assassination. She makes a a strikingly sad description of Mrs. Kennedy immediately after the shooting so beautifully and neatly dressed, her clothes stained with the blood of her husband. She shows great respect for Jacqueline Kennedy, and tells the story in a restrained and direct way. In fact certain qualities characterize Mrs. Johnson, and her diary throughout. She writes positively about people, and it is rare when she has a negative word or implication in regard to them. Perhaps this is the sign that she is a political wife, and certainly she was the wife of one of America's greatest twentieth century politicians.
Anyone reading this Diary cannot be but amazed at the tremendous amount of people the Johnsons knew and their seemingly continuous involvement with them. Another element which is consistent in the work is its not focusing on the words and deeds of the President. This is really Lady Bird's story. And while her role as Presidential wife, deference to her husband is always there she primarily talks here about what she saw and heard. Her role as mother also plays a good part here.
Still the work reveals much about the Johnson's rich world of acquaintances, political contacts. One of the little known stories about Lyndon Johnson was that he as a young politician went out of his way to help rescue Jews from the Nazis. One moving visit spoken about in the Diary is to an Austin congregation consisting in good part of those saved and their descendants.
Lady Bird like her husband had a great appetite and appreciation for life. She writes in a direct way about her world of interests, including her social and charity work. She does not focus on the great historical events but on day- to- day life of her family.
This is a very fine and informative book. Anyone who truly appreciates American political life will greatly enjoy this.

Review by Mary E. Trimble, author of ROSEMOUNT..., a Frankfurt eBook Award Nominee.

I think this is a great tool to teach young girls how to become a Lady. The author is the best role model for a Lady. After meeting her, I could hardly wait for the book to be published. This book is the main text books used for our teen etiquette "How to be a Lady" mentoring program.

Candace Robb has read and researched medieval history for many years, having studied for a Ph.D. in Medieval and Anglo-Saxon Literature. She divides her time between Seattle and the UK, frequently spending time in Scotland and York to research her books.

York is very close to my own home and many of the places mentioned in the Owen Archer books are still there to be seen and of course Archbishop John Thorseby is mentioned in the records of York Minster. All this adds spice for me and helps me to picture the time and events that took place. This is the second novel in what is proving to be a captivating series.

It is the year of our Lord 1365, Owen Archer is called to the Minster Close by Archbishop Thoresby. The Archbishop is well aware that Owen has many skills to add to his expertise with the long bow. The Welsh archer also has a rare talent for detective work. While the city of York has been celebrating Corpus Christi, a man has been murdered. The man's severed hand has been delivered to Gilbert Ridley, a merchant and Owen is sent to investigate.
