Featured Bargain Book 09/05/2024: From Budapest to Hollywood by Katherine MK Mitchell

Book is Bargain Priced starting 09/05/2024 and ending 09/12/2024. Check the price on the book before you purchase it, prices can change without notice.

About the book:

An indelible story of resilience, hope, and the pursuit of a better life

From the first heart thumping chapter of Katherine MK Mitchell’s memoir, detailing the longest day of her life— a covert journey by truck, buggy, and on foot while escaping communist Hungary with her mother— readers will be enthralled with this rollercoaster ride that takes her from Budapest to New York, and Hollywood.
Born Jewish in Nazi occupied Hungary during WWII, she survives the horror of being a war baby to becoming a promising ballerina, and then a nationally ranked gymnast, whose dreams are dashed in communist Hungary. Her mother’s attempts to get them to the promised land of Israel fails. They ultimately make it to the Midwest where she went from being a star gymnast to refugee dishwasher. Eventually finding their way to New York City, she became a model, before marrying an aspiring actor and heading to the promised land of Hollywood.
From being the “dumb, abusable foreigner,” she pursues several careers—talent agent, screenwriter, and a trial paralegal in Beverly Hills, while supporting her husband (who eventually became her ex) and their child. She is always on the threshold of a lucky break that never comes. The #MeToo syndrome of life in and out of Hollywood gradually taught her self-protection. Her Hollywood days are filled with well-known producers, actors, screen writers, and Hollywood elites. She has changed the names in most instances, but it is still a fun game of “Can you guess who that is?”
This heart-wrenching to hilarious story emotionally moves the reader on unexpected levels and celebrates its hell-and-back qualities. Through the good and the bad, and the many disappointments along the way, she remained grounded and hopeful, and never gave up on following her dream to being accepted as a writer. A

An Empty House Doesn’t Sneeze by David Scott Richardson

An Empty House Doesn’t Sneeze renders life on the home front through the watchful eyes of 15-year-old Scotty Johannsen as WWII rages across the globe. Against the backdrop of blackouts, bomb shelters, rationing, and victory gardens, Scotty and his friends follow the rhythms of yesteryear, weaving their wartime worries through the “wilds” of Seattle’s Ravenna Park, where their imaginations run free.

Into this fragile balance a neighborhood threat emerges: Someone is lighting fires during the mandatory blackouts. Scotty, whose father is an air raid warden, is soon caught up in the firebug mystery and tries to smoke the arsonist out. When the local bully throws suspicion on Scotty’s draft-age brother, and when even his best friend’s actions don’t seem to add up, Scotty must navigate a moral and ethical thicket while treading a path toward maturity. Even as scarcity slips into every nook and cranny, An Empty House Doesn’t Sneeze celebrates a youthful spirit and hearkens to simple pleasures, where free time and family abound.

David Scott Richardson’s An Empty House Doesn’t Sneeze is a work of historical fiction set in 1943 in the Pacific Northwest. A heartwarming and playful coming-of-age adventure, this novel is suitable for MG/YA and the young at heart. It contains no gratuitous language, but there are a few slurs that are true to the historical setting and swear words—in keeping with the characters and story.

About the book:

When sixteen-year-old Emily Anderson was hit by a car, she woke up screaming a stranger’s name.

Ever since, Emily’s dreams have been replaced by the memories of others — and she still doesn’t know who “Barrett” is. Now twenty-eight, she’s never had the courage to move out of her childhood home in Toronto; until a Vancouver university offers her the chance to study a Master of Medical Ethics. Encouraged, Emily latches onto it as a catalyst for change.

There, she meets self-assured Nova Scotian, David Mathis, who seems to have an unjustified hatred for Vancouver’s most esteemed family, the Roths. But when she’s introduced to the spirited CFO of Roth Pharmaceuticals, Emily discovers that he and David are locked in a bitter family feud. And she can’t seem to stay away from either of them…

When David starts suffering from an unexplained illness, Emily realizes that the Roth-Mathis rivalry hides a far more insidious threat. Adamant to prove her independence, Emily goes in search of the truth — desperate to pinpoint the origin of David’s illness before it consumes him.

Dripping with suspense until the last page, The Veil of Oppression explores the complexity of family history, the formative connection between father and son, and how friendships are forged on the grounds of an invisible battlefield.
