The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive

by Lucy Adlington


A powerful chronicle of the women who used their sewing skills to survive the Holocaust, stitching beautiful clothes at an extraordinary fashion workshop created within one of the most notorious WWII death camps. 

At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp—mainly Jewish women and girls—were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. 

This fashion workshop—called the Upper Tailoring Studio—was established by Hedwig Höss, the camp commandant’s wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin’s upper crust. 

Drawing on diverse sources—including interviews with the last surviving seamstress—The Dressmakers of Auschwitz follows the fates of these brave women. Their bonds of family and friendship not only helped them endure persecution, but also to play their part in camp resistance. Weaving the dressmakers’ remarkable experiences within the context of Nazi policies for plunder and exploitation, historian Lucy Adlington exposes the greed, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the Third Reich and offers a fresh look at a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust.

Garage Band Days: A Memoir

by Michael Melton


The 1960’s was the perfect time for teenagers to create bands.


Rock and roll was young and instruments were inexpensive.

And most importantly, there were many places for these young musicians to play on Friday and Saturday nights; skating rinks, National Guard Armories, theaters, or just somebody’s back yard. In 1963, my brother Ronnie and I decided to start a band of our own to compete with the those we had been watching. We both had taken years of piano lessons, all classical. We recruited two friends with no musical background to join us. This story tells how these kids went from that inauspicious beginning to earn a recording contract with Cameo-Parkway Records, a booking contract with Bill Lowery Talent Agency in Atlanta, and an appearance on Dick Clark’s national TV show, ‘Where the Action Is.’ And then this incredible dream came to an end in 1967 when we were drafted into the military. Ron Parr, our talented lead guitar player, died in 1968 when the tank he was driving rolled over a landmine in Vietnam Nam. Ron was 19.


This Memoir recounts our journey, with some interesting road stories that happened along the way.

The Art of Selling Your Bank: A Bank CEO's Step-By-Step Guide

by Kurt Knutson


Selling your bank can make you feel like you are standing naked in public. You must always have your bank in the best shape possible, in other words, “swimsuit-ready”.

When you understand how the process works, you will know if you are ready or what you need to do to get ready. This will reduce the “noise” of the process, calming your mind and allowing you to move forward freely and confidently for the best results.

You will be able to find answers to questions like:

  • What is our bank’s value, and what are the drivers of our value?
  • Who is interested in buying us, and what is the best method?
  • When is the best opportunity to pursue a sale?

The process of gathering this information is high-risk due to the fear of word leaking out, losing customers, and damaging value. Asking advisors for advice may feel like asking a barber if you need a haircut.

My hope is that this book will help you gain confidence and peace of mind so you can use your skills when it matters most.

Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last

by Wright Thompson


An instant 
New York Times bestseller

From the bestselling author of 
The Cost of These Dreams

The story of how Julian Van Winkle III, the caretaker of the most coveted cult Kentucky Bourbon whiskey in the world, fought to protect his family's heritage and preserve the taste of his forebears, in a world where authenticity, like his product, is in very short supply.


As a journalist said of Pappy Van Winkle, "You could call it bourbon, or you could call it a $5,000 bottle of liquified, barrel-aged unobtanium." Julian Van Winkle, the third-generation head of his family's business, is now thought of as something like the Buddha of Bourbon - Booze Yoda, as Wright Thompson calls him. He is swarmed wherever he goes, and people stand in long lines to get him to sign their bottles of Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve, the whiskey he created to honor his grandfather, the founder of the family concern. A bottle of the 23-year-old Pappy starts at $3000 on the internet. As Julian is the first to say, things have gone completely nuts.

Forty years ago, Julian would have laughed in astonishment if you'd told him what lay ahead. He'd just stepped in to try to save the business after his father had died, partly of heartbreak, having been forced to sell the old distillery in a brutal downturn in the market for whiskey. Julian's grandfather had presided over a magical kingdom of craft and connoisseurship, a genteel outfit whose family ethos generated good will throughout Kentucky and far beyond. There's always a certain amount of romance to the marketing of spirits, but Pappy's mission statement captured something real: "We make fine bourbon - at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always fine bourbon." But now the business had hit the wilderness years, and Julian could only hang on for dear life, stubbornly committed to preserving his namesake's legacy or going down with the ship.

Then something like a miracle happened: it turned out that hundreds of very special barrels of whiskey from the Van Winkle family distillery had been saved by the multinational conglomerate that bought it. With no idea what they had, they offered to sell it to Julian, who scrambled to beg and borrow the funds. Now he could bottle a whiskey whose taste captured his family's legacy. The result would immediately be hailed as the greatest whiskey in the world - and would soon be the hardest to find.

But now, those old barrels were used up, and Julian Van Winkle faced the challenge of his lifetime: how to preserve the taste of Pappy, the taste of his family's heritage, in a new age? The amazing Wright Thompson was invited to be his wingman as he set about to try. The result is an extraordinary testimony to the challenge of living up to your legacy and the rewards that come from knowing and honoring your people and your craft. Wright learned those lessons from Julian as they applied to the honest work of making a great bourbon whiskey in Kentucky, but he couldn't help applying them to his own craft, writing, and his upbringing in Mississippi, as he and his wife contemplated the birth of their first child. May we all be lucky enough to find some of ourselves, as Wright Thompson did, in Julian Van Winkle, and in Pappyland.

There Were No Flowers: A Surgeon's Story of War, Family, and Love

by William Meffert


Enter the operating room with Dr. William Meffert as he shares generations’ worth of his family’s wartime surgery experiences.


William Meffert is a surgeon. His father was a surgeon. And now, so is his son. Three generations familiar with incisions, blood, and loss. From World War II and Vietnam to modern operating rooms, they have all fought the battle for human life.

Throughout, Meffert meditates on the lasting impact of conflict and the pressures of a surgeon’s life, from being forced to make immediate life-or-death decisions for unknown patients, to the realities of blood and gore, to the difficulty of sharing these experiences with the uninitiated.

Linking together the individual lives of grandfather, father, and son, 
There Were No Flowers is a story of war, surgery, trauma, and the joys of fatherhood, family, and love in the face of it all.
