Kirk Ward Robinson’s Hiking Through History:  Hannibal, Highlanders & Joan of Arc is far more than a travel memoir—it’s a vivid, boots on the ground journey through the landscapes where Western history unfolded. 

From Hannibal’s Alpine crossing to the Scottish Highlands and Joan of Arc’s France, Robinson blends adventure, reflection, and accessible history in a way that’s hard to resist. 

If you’re curious how one traveler brings two thousand years of the past to life, you’ll want to dive into the full review.

Richard “Ricky” A. Lefkowitz’s Welcome to Fabulous Angeles invites you to travel back to Los Angeles in the ‘60s and ‘70s—a time when surfboards were always rattling on car roofs, rock music was blasting from every diner, and it felt like parents and teens were on totally different planets.

Moed’s Tribute to Her Mother and New York]]> https://www.bookpleasures.com/websitepublisher/articles/10027/1/-It-Was-Her-New-York-Snapshots-of-a-Fading-Past--CO-Moeds-Tribute-to-Her-Mother-and-New-York/Page1.html


Author: C.O. Moed

Publisher: Rootstock Publishing

ISBN: 978-1-57869-165-4


At its heart, It Was Her New York: True Stories & Snapshots by C.O. Moed recounts the story of the author’s relationship with her mother, Florence Deutsch Moed—a Juilliard-trained pianist battling the devastating effects of dementia.

Set against the backdrop of a disappearing Lower East Side, New York, the book is a deeply personal memoir of a mother's deteriorating mind and body.

The fusion of past and present crafts a compelling narrative that delves into both the author's coming-of-age journey and her mother’s struggle with cognitive decline.
