Gladys Quarre Knapp was a woman ahead of her time as one of the most radiant, successful, behind the scenes Hollywood and political women of the 20th Century. Her unique opportunity and perspective on making the best out of life’s offerings prompted her son to document their tales, adventures, and travels from San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Palm Beach, and Santa Barbara. With one of her well-known remarks, she would say, “It’s not important who you know, what is important is who knows you.” One of the first women bridging the gap between emerging Hollywood and Broadway luminaries and California’s founding families. A woman ahead of her time, facing challenges with grace, humor, élan, and never afraid to say what was on her mind. With her beauty, personality, and enchanting wit, she very well could have been the inspiration for the character Auntie Mame.

Barack Obama created history by being the first African American President of United States; something which no one could achieve before. He laid the biggest milestone in the journey-path of African Americans, who began it in 1619 as slaves. After that it was a tireless and difficult journey towards excellence, and winning their rights. Barack proved what he announced, “Yes we can.” This slogan became a wave of Obama-mania across the United States, and a new hope surging through the nation. This book records every step of the journey of Barack Obama, right from his childhood. This book has been widely appreciated and recommended for reading in American schools, as an authentic source of modern history. An additional section of this book records the history of the other 43 Presidents of United States. The need of this collector’s item does not get over with time; it is a book which should be in every American home, due to its timeless relevance. It remains as important 10 years later, as it is today.
