‎Smith Mary Ann Tirone‎

‎Girls of Tender Age: A Memoir‎

‎Free Press 2005. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-good clean condition. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. 289 pages. Illustrated. NO writing marks or tears inside book. In Girls of Tender Age Mary-Ann Tirone Smith fully articulates with great humor and tenderness the wild jubilance of an extended French-Italian family struggling to survive in a post-World War II housing project in Hartford Connecticut. Smith seamlessly combines a memoir whose intimacy matches that of Angela's Ashes with the tale of a community plagued by a malevolent predator that holds the emotional and cultural resonance of The Lovely Bones. Smith's Hartford neighborhood is small-town America where everyone's door is unlocked and the school church library drugstore 5 & 10 grocery and tavern are all within walking distance. Her family is peopled with memorable characters -- her possibly psychic mother who's always on the verge of a nervous breakdown her adoring father who makes sure she has something to eat in the morning beyond her usual gulp of Hershey's syrup her grandfather who teaches her to bash in the heads of the eels they catch on Long Island Sound Uncle Guido who makes the annual bagna cauda and the numerous aunts and cousins who parade through her life with love and food and endless stories of the old days. And then there's her brother Tyler. Smith's household was "different." Little Mary-Ann couldn't have friends over because her older brother Tyler an autistic before anyone knew what that meant was unable to bear noise of any kind. To him the sound of crying laughing phones ringing or toilets flushing was "a cloud of barbed needles" flying into his face. Subject to such an assault he would substitute that pain with another: he'd try to chew his arm off. Tyler was Mary-Ann's real-life Boo Radley albeit one whose bookshelves sagged under the weight of the World War II books he collected and read obsessively. Hanging over this rough-and-tumble American childhood is the sinister shadow of an approaching serial killer. The menacing Bob Malm lurks throughout this joyous and chaotic family portrait and the havoc he unleashes when the paths of innocence and evil cross one early December evening in 1953 forever alters the landscape of Smith's childhood. Girls of Tender Age is one of those books that will forever change its readers because of its beauty and power and remarkable wit. Free Press Hardcover‎

‎24 Days: How Two Wall Street Journal Reporters Uncovered the Lies That Destroyed Faith in Corporate America‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: HarperBusiness 2003. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine clean pages. 400 pages. Dustcover is clean shows light wear NO tears. Synopsis It all started in August 2001when Emshwiller was assigned to write a supposedly simple article on the unexpected resignation of Enron CEO Jeff Skilling. During his research Emshwiller uncovered a buried reference to an off the balance sheet partnership called LJM. Little did he know this was the start of a fast and furious ride through the remarkable downfall of a once highly-prized company. Written in an intense fast paced narrative style 24 Days tells the gripping story of the colossal collapse of what would become the world's most notorious corporation. The reader follows along as Smith and Emshwiller continue to uncover new partnerships and self-dealing among the highest levels of Enron's management. As they publish articles detailing their findings in the Journal Wall Street and individual investors have a crisis of confidence and start selling Enron stock at unprecedented levels of volume. In the end-24 short days later-Enron had completely collapsed erasing 16 years of growth and losing $19 billion in market value while watching the stock drop from 33.84 to 8.41. Not only was the company destroyed but investors and retired employees were completely wiped out-all the while Enron executives were collecting millions of dollars. Climaxing with this 24-day period this book shows the reporter's-eye view of a David-and-Goliath battle between journalists and a giant corporation. Each day a new story uncovered another fact; each day the company issued denials. And when the investigative stories reached critical mass and momentum the stock market cast its final vote of no confidence. In the tradition of Indecent Exposure and Barbarians at the Gate two other gripping narratives that began as a series of Wall Street Journal stories and ended up as books that defined an era 24 Days brings the importance of great investigative journalism to life.
