As the summer unfolds, Nick is drawn into Gatsby's world of luxury
cars, speedboats and extravagant parties. But the more he hears
about Gatsby - even from what Gatsby himself tells him - the less
he seems to believe. Did he really go to Oxford University? Was
Gatsby a hero in the war? Did he once kill a man? Nick recalls how
he comes to know Gatsby and how he also enters the world of his
cousin Daisy and her wealthy husband Tom. Does their money make
them any happier? Do the stories all connect? Shall we come to know
the real Gatsby after reading Nick's account of that fateful
summer?

The Mother of a Movement is a true story of parental support and
unconditional love. It tells the story of Jeanne Manford, the
co-founder of PFLAG. When her son Morty was beaten by New York City
officials for handing out pro-gay leaflets, Manford wrote a
powerful letter to the New York Postto complain about how Morty was
treated. In the letter she came out as the mother of a gay son. The
letter was published. Morty invited his mother to march with him in
the June 1972 Christopher Street Parade. While marching, she had
the idea to form a group to help parents and families of LGBTQ+
people. That was the beginning of PFLAG.
Of Cats and Men is a stylish illustrated gift book from an
award-winning artist profiling notable cat-loving men throughout
history in words and pictures. Sam Kalda presents a fresh approach
to the cat book trend that is smart, sweet and driven by engaging
and beautiful illustrations. Appealing to both men and women, Of
Cats and Men is stereotype-breaking and charming, making for a
highly giftable book. The 30 men profiled range from writers and
artists such as Haruki Murakami, T.S. Eliot, Marlon Brando, Andy
Warhol, Freddie Mercury and Ai Weiwei, to historical luminaries
such as Sir Winston Churchill, Edward Lear and Sir Isaac Newton. In
each of the profiles, readers uncover the men's devotion to their
feline companions, surprising moments of fame for their beloved
cats throughout history, and more. The book also features
beautifully hand-lettered quotes, such as Twain's "When a man loves
cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction."
