The source of her illness was unknown at the time. In August 1854, the five-month-old daughter of Thomas and Sarah Lewis became ill. Soho was located in the central part of the Golden Square and was a cross-mixture of the classes and a place that attracted artists and socialists and even drew the interest of a Prussian immigrant named Karl Marx who lived there with his young family. Most of the residents of London Square were middle and upper class Londoners who tended to look down on the Soho residents. Thomas and Sarah Lewis lived in Soho on Broad Street within an area that was known as the Golden Square. When the sewage contaminated clear water it was the precursor for the spawning of the cholera bacterium. There was a shadow world of scavengers who trudged through the contaminated Thames River where the sewage from three million people wound up. Victorian London was over-crowded and had not established a waste system that separated clear drinking water from sewage. It also describes the investigative work accomplished by two Londoners who were determined to find the source of the scourge. The Ghost Map tells the story of the cholera epidemic of 1854 in Victorian London.

The letter to HarperCollins, mailed by Grogan’s agent, Laurie Abkemeier of DeFiore and Company, is posted in full on Romenesko. It was Grogan’s Inquirer column on the occasion of golden retriever Marley’s death that engendered such huge response that Grogan first realized the potential of a book on the subject of “the world’s worst dog.” After Grogan quit the Inquirer in February (after being deliciously called out by Buzz Bissinger for “mailing it in” in January), the paper - which owns the copyright on Grogan’s columns - sold the collection to Vanguard in April. According to Publishers Weekly, his agent has even sent a letter to Grogan’s Marley & Me publisher, HarperCollins, publicly distancing Grogan from the book.īad Dogs Have More Fun is a collection of Grogan’s columns for the Philadelphia Inquirer. That’s because the book, Bad Dogs Have More Fun, won’t earn Grogan a dime - and is being published without his approval. John Grogan, author of male tearjerker (and mega-best-seller) Marley & Me, is hoping that you won’t buy his new book, coming out this September from Perseus imprint Vanguard Press. Courtesy of HarperCollins (Marley, author photo) Courtesy of Vanguard Press (Bad Dogs) This is the best book I have ever read, and I have read a lot of books. I spent the entire day reading Heidi Chiavaroli's second novel, "The Hidden Side." I was an emotional wreck reading it, but it was worth all the tears and breath-holding. This was an incredible story, and I definitely recommend it!!! She shared how God's mercy provided comfort and compassion during extremely difficult times and how ordinary people bravely dealt with extraordinary circumstances. Chiavaroli eloquently addresses all aspects of the situation and allows the reader to feel absolute horror at the shooting and the loss of lives, while also feeling compassion for the severe bullying that the shooter went through at school through the reading of his journals. This was one book that I could not put down. As a teacher, the school shootings hit close to home for me as that is something that we are constantly educating and preparing our staff and students of how to react to should such a situation occur. Heidi Chiavaroli's latest time slip novel "The Hidden Side" is a powerful and incredibly emotional story that captivates her readers as she bravely addresses the topic of school shootings along with the bravery and losses faced by individuals fighting on both sides during the Revolutionary War. It seems easier to respond to our enthusiasms by trading in facts than by investigating the more naive question of how and why we have been moved.
