Raised in poverty on an Iowa farm, the Cherry Sisters had little education and no training. But they possessed a burning desire to take to the stage and show the world what they could do--and what they could do was awful. Their unique act was "so bad it was good." When the sisters took the stage, they were met with rotten fruit and vegetables, festering meat, dead cats... Riots often broke out after (and sometimes during) their concerts, but they carried on, changing attitudes--and laws--along the way. This book follows the five women through their forty-year career in vaudeville theaters across the U.S. Proud, fearless and fiercely independent in a time when women were treated as second-class citizens, the Cherry Sisters insisted that their voices be heard.

Jessie: the story of a genteel lady in frontier Alaska is the fascinating saga of one of Alaska's most remarkable women of the Goldrush/Sourdough Era. In 1913, Jessie Mather, born to a wealthy, Victorian family in Sheffield, England, was stranded with her parents in Eagle, Alaska, by the outbreak of WWI because funds to continue travel became unavailable. Some fifty-six years later, in 1969, Jessie died in Sitka, and the few remaining items of her estate were sold in a state auction. The author who purchased those mementos unseen soon realized it would be possible to reconstruct the life of this pioneer lady from the contents of the ancient trunk, and thus Jessie's story - a true riches-to-rags adventure - chronicles the life of this durable Alaskan citizen.

Myra Stevenson, an Anglo Indian teacher and single mother to Thomas, faces her worst nightmare when she discovers Thomas’s father has visited him without her knowledge. As he belongs to the echelons of British society in India, she fears he will claim their son who looks European. Giles Cottrell, owner of a tea plantation and an officer in the Indian Army reserves, had no idea he fathered a son until his grandmother (Jessie) informed him of the fact in a letter after her death. He informs Myra that his grandmother left them each a letter. His letter sets out directives, one being that they must marry for Thomas to bear his name in accordance to the Legitimacy Act, 1926. Myra refuses to allow Giles to read her letter. Conflicts arise between the pair as a result, especially as Jessie left her property in Delhi to Myra. The couple marry and embark on a train journey to Darjeeling to await the decree that makes Thomas legally a Cottrell. However, their married life is fraught with issues of mistrust and outside interferences. Myra once again faces her past fears of ostracism. How she wins her husband’s love and stands tall amidst racial misconceptions and discrimination is the story she relates.
