Paperback. Condizione: Good. Robert Hutchinson decided in 1996 to take his family to live in Rome for a year so he could explore the secrets of the Vatican. This is the journal of his Roman sojourn. As he settles in, Hutchinson discovers the many delights and frustrations of life in Rome, and slowly begins his exploration into the lesser known and hallowed portals of the Vatican. He relates stories of papal mistresses, the discovery and subsequent loss of St Peter's bones, the secret (and unkempt) archives, weird relics, money laundering at the Vatican Bank, the silent and simplistic bureaucracy at the hub of this worldwide church, and even advice on how you get to be a cardinal - or a pope. Despite the scandals and the shortcomings, he remains ultimately respectful to a church which has survived two millennia.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Orville Hutchinson remembers when he was a frightened nine-year-old Kingston boy sobbing with anguished loneliness at night. He remembers the ongoing war between his separated parents and the sting of his father's leather belt across his back. And he remembers his despair when his parents abandoned him for five years. Taken by his father to visit relatives in the country, Orville-known as Dane to his family-discovered he was to be left in the care of his grandfather. Adrift in a world he knew nothing about, Dane had to quickly adapt to a new way of life, where he was expected to perform unfamiliar chores as ably as his bulkier, stronger cousins-or risk a beating. Intense Emotion is Hutchinson's dramatic recollection of five years that radically changed his life, including his pain and fear when he realized his parents had forsaken him and his difficulty adapting to life in the Jamaican countryside. From the duppy (ghost) in the banana farm to the beating he received for destroying his uncle's potato plants, Hutchinson brings to life the trials of a young city boy attempting to endure in an alien, rough-and-ready rural environment-an inspiring message of hope and survival.…

A Junior Library Guild Selection ?Surreal, brainy, and totally captivating.? ?Booklist (starred review) ?Provocative and moving.? ?Publishers Weekly (starred review) ?Hutchinson artfully blends the realistic and the surreal.? ?School Library Journal (starred review) From the critically acclaimed author of We Are the Ants and At the Edge of the Universe comes a mind-bending, riveting novel about a teen who was born to a virgin mother and realizes she has the power to heal?but that power comes at a huge cost.Sixteen-year-old Elena Mendoza is the product of a virgin birth. This can be scientifically explained (it?s called parthenogenesis), but what can?t be explained is how Elena is able to heal Freddie, the girl she?s had a crush on for years, from a gunshot wound in a Starbucks parking lot. Or why the boy who shot Freddie, David Combs, disappeared from the same parking lot minutes later after getting sucked up into the clouds. Other things that can?t be explained are the talking girl on the front of a tampon box, or the reasons that David Combs shot Freddie in the first place. As more unbelievable things occur, and Elena continues to perform miracles, the only remaining explanation is the least logical of all?that the world is actually coming to an end, and Elena is possibly the only one who can do something about it.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Cassidy Hutchinson?s desk was mere steps from the most controversial president in recent American history. Now, she provides a riveting account of her extraordinary experiences as an idealistic young woman thrust into the middle of a national crisis, where she risked everything to tell the truth about some of the most powerful people in Washington. Ever since a childhood visit to Washington, DC, Cassidy Hutchinson aspired to serve her country in government. Raised in a working-class family with a military background, she was the first in her immediate family to graduate from college. Despite having no ties to Washington, Hutchinson landed a vital position at the center of the Trump White House. Her life took a dramatic turn on January 6th, 2021, when, at twenty-four, she found herself in one of the most extraordinary and unprecedented calamities in modern political history. Hutchinson was faced with a choice between loyalty to the Trump administration or loyalty to the country by revealing what she saw and heard in the attempt to overthrow a democratic election. She bravely came forward to become the pivotal witness in the House January 6 investigations, as her testimony transfixed and stunned the nation. In her memoir, Hutchinson reveals the struggle between the pressures she confronted to toe the party line and the demands of the oath she swore to defend American democracy. Enough reaches far beyond the typical insider political account. It?s the saga of a woman whose fierce determination helped her overcome childhood challenges to get her dream job, only to face a crisis of conscience?one that more senior White House aides tried to evade?and, in the process, find her voice and herself. This is a portrait of how the courage of one person can change the course of history.…
