She was the niece of America's Bachelor President and his official hostess in Lancaster, London and Washington. Anyone who met her was instantly enamored. Queen Victoria bestowed upon her the title "Honorary Ambassadress." The Washington press corps proclaimed her "Our Democratic Queen." She was the first White House Hostess to be called "First Lady." Ships were named after her. Songs were written about her. Women dressed like her. She was the most admired woman in the country and established a style of entertaining never before seen in the White House. And only she could get away with beating the Prince of Wales at bowling! Her life was marked by tragedy, yet she lived every day to the fullest. Her legacy lives on in Baltimore and Washington through a pediatric hospital, a school for boys, a museum of art, and a monument to James Buchanan. Thanks to her beauty, charm, and generosity of spirit, America's First Lady will always be Harriet Lane.

Here's a real story about a gefilte fish out of water! What happens when a life-long apartment dweller becomes a homeowner? But more importantly, what happens when a Gay Jew realizes the American Dream by moving into a trailer park? Could this really happen? It did! And Milton Stern tells you all about it. Based on his popular and hysterical blog, Milton Stern threads together his trailer park adventures with Esmeralda, the rescue beagle, and his past exploits to create a story only he can tell. You'll grow to love his quirky family, his neurotic dog, his colorful neighbors, and really appreciate Milton as you live the trailer park trash life through his eyes.

When you are done reading The Gay Jew in the Trailer Park, you might find yourself shopping for a house on wheels!

After attending a friend's funeral in his hometown of Newport News, Virginia, Michael returns to Hollywood and finds there is more than a screenplay that is unfinished in his life.

Florence, Hannah, Rona, Arlene and Doreen -- five more fascinating, menopausal, Jewish women one would never meet. They were friends for more than forty years and saw each other through life's triumphs, tragedies and multiple spouses. Yet, there was only one constant in their lives.
