Book Description
I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.

Book Description
Scintillating New Mystery Features Corruption, Murder and Personal Vengeance Detective uncovers strange connections to his past within the dark underworld of Boston It's 1964 and racial hostility burns across the country. In Boston, an arson epidemic hits the slums of Roxbury, a once Jewish district now a land of urban decay. Completely disregarded by the local press and civil leaders, the strange fires have no known origin. Their ambiguity only further fuels the flame of curiosity in Detective Jody Brae, once an orphan in the Roxbury Home for Stray Boys. With political and law officials holding a broken moral compass, crime is seen as unavoidable and low on the list of priorities. Political degeneracy is just one strand in this tightly woven web of secrets. The plot thickens as the mysterious events link with the obtrusive nature of Brae's childhood. He quickly finds himself compromised by the twists and turns of the case and the satisfaction of retribution. Wedged between personal honor and professional integrity, it's a race against time for the valiant detective as he struggles to save his past, his job, and the love of his life. Jonathan Michael Cullen creatively navigates the reader through the dark Boston streets for each missing piece of the mystery. The brutality of the underworld mixed with a flicker of romance will propel both men and women to sit on the edge of their seats. The Ranks of Jody Brae is as blissfully puzzling as it is engaging; a perfect mix for a suspenseful narrative. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
