Book review of STAY THIRSTY: A Serial Entrepreneur's Tale of Success & Failure by Mark Haertzen . ISBN: 978-1938462832 < Back STAY THIRSTY: A Serial Entrepreneur's Tale of Success & Failure Mark Haertzen entrepreneurship, perseverance, risk-taking, mentorship Old Stone Press Share this review: Copy link Facebook LinkedIn X (Twitter) WhatsApp Pinterest Stay Thirsty is a candid and inspiring business memoir that blends Mark Haertzen’s sixty-year entrepreneurial journey with "Rocket Wisdom" to show that persistent resilience—not just luck—is the key to surviving the highs and lows of the business world. In the crowded landscape of business literature, it is rare to find a narrative that balances the cold metrics of scaling a company with the warm, often messy reality of a life lived in pursuit of a dream. Mark Haertzen’s memoir, "Stay Thirsty: A Serial Entrepreneur’s Tale of Success & Failure," manages this balance with remarkable transparency. It is an insightful plain-spoken account of what it takes to survive sixty years in the "entrepreneurial trenches." The book’s strength lies in its chronological depth. Haertzen’s early ventures begin in Louisville, KY—charging tolls to fairgoers and selling cinnamon toothpicks—serve as the perfect "origin story" for a serial entrepreneur. These anecdotes illustrate a fundamental thesis: entrepreneurship is often a temperament before it is a career. The narrative hits its stride when Haertzen takes the ultimate leap at age thirty-two, leaving the security of the banking industry to launch Rocket Man Inc. Readers are given a front-row seat to the evolution of a company that became a staple at iconic events like the Super Bowl and the Kentucky Derby. Haertzen’s description of managing walking vendors at high-stakes venues provides a fascinating look at the logistical "chaos" behind major entertainment spectacles. What elevates “Stay Thirsty” above a standard corporate history is Haertzen’s willingness to turn the lens inward. He explores how a childhood shaped by his father’s frugality fueled a complex relationship with wealth and self-esteem. By sharing his insecurities, Haertzen dismantles the myth of the "bulletproof" CEO. He shows that the drive to succeed is often rooted in personal history, and that overcoming internal obstacles is just as critical as overcoming market fluctuations. This "unfiltered" approach makes the author a relatable mentor rather than a distant figurehead. Throughout the book, Haertzen distills his experiences into what he calls "Rocket Wisdom." These axioms act as pragmatic anchor points for the reader, focusing on: 1) Perseverance: The necessity of staying in the game when things look bleak; 2) Adaptability: Transitioning from an instinct-led "born" entrepreneur to a data-driven leader; and 3) The Utility of Failure: Reinterpreting losses as tuition for future success. The book’s core argument is clear: Persistence is the primary currency of the entrepreneur. Haertzen provides ample evidence for this through the 31-year lifecycle of Rocket Man Inc., proving that longevity is the result of continuous evolution rather than a single "big break." “Stay Thirsty” is an inspiring and instructive read that replaces corporate jargon with honest storytelling. Mark Haertzen doesn't just tell you how to build a business; he tells you how to survive the process of building one. It is a testament to the fact that while success is the goal, the "thirst"—the relentless drive to improve and adapt—is the true reward. Perfect read for aspiring entrepreneurs, business students, or anyone who enjoys an underdog story about the American Dream. Previous Next

Book review of The Family Behind the Girl Scouts of America: Lives of the Kinzie-Gordon Clan, 1750s-1950s by Melissa Langley Biegert . ISBN: 9781476697956 < Back The Family Behind the Girl Scouts of America: Lives of the Kinzie-Gordon Clan, 1750s-1950s Melissa Langley Biegert Girl Scouts, family history, historical eras, multi-generational saga, female empowerment McFarland Share this review: Copy link Facebook LinkedIn X (Twitter) WhatsApp Pinterest Historian Dr. Melissa Langley Biegert delivers a thoroughly researched multi-generational biography that reframes Juliette Gordon Low's founding of the Girl Scouts as the natural culmination of a complex, two-century American dynasty. When history remembers Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, it typically paints her as a singular, eccentric force of nature, a hard-of-hearing Savannah socialite who single-handedly brought Lord Baden-Powell’s youth movement to American girls in 1912. However, in The Family Behind the Girl Scouts of America: Lives of the Kinzie-Gordon Clan, 1750s–1950s, historian Dr. Melissa Langley Biegert reframes the organization's creation. By exploring thousands of archived personal documents and letters, Biegert reveals Low's ancestral background as the natural culmination of a two-century saga defined by frontier ambition, socio-political agility, and deep familial contradictions. Biegert organizes her expansive 200-year history into four chronological epochs. Revolutionaries (1751–1804) traces Scottish immigration, early colonial survival, and frontier resilience. Next, the Nation Builders (1805–1854) focuses on the Northern Kinzie family’s pivotal role in early Chicago real estate, trade, and political networking. Then, Civil Warriors (1855–1905) examines the politically volatile union of the Northern Kinzie and Southern Gordon families, navigating the Civil War and Daisy’s chaotic personal life. Lastly, Globalists (1906–1951) documents the launch of the Girl Scouts, international expansion, and the clan's mid-century legacy. Rather than delivering a dry genealogical outline, Biegert uses the Kinzie-Gordon lineage as a micro-history of the United States itself. The book’s greatest triumph lies in how it illuminates the exact ingredients that allowed Daisy Low to succeed. Readers see how the Kinzie family's fierce adaptability on the Midwest frontier merged with the Gordon family's aristocratic Southern networks. Daisy did not invent her organizational leadership out of thin air; she inherited a multi-generational playbook on how to leverage social capital, navigate crises, and command influence. Crucially, Biegert does not sanitize the clan to serve a neat origin story for a beloved youth organization. The narrative directly confronts uncomfortable historical truths, including the family’s complex, often extractive dealings with Native American tribes on the frontier. This historical paradox continues with coverage of the Gordons' reliance on enslaved labor in the antebellum South, alongside the bizarre ideological gymnastics required when the Northern-Union Kinzies married into the Southern-Confederate Gordons just prior to the Civil War. Published by McFarland, the text maintains rigorous academic standards with thorough archival backing—drawing heavily from diaries, public records, and private correspondence—while remaining engaging and accessible for general history enthusiasts. However, readers picking up the book expecting a detailed institutional history of the Girl Scouts may feel misled. The organization itself does not take center stage until the final section, Globalists. The book is fundamentally a multi-generational family biography; the Girl Scouts serve as the ultimate destination rather than the primary subject. Furthermore, particularly in the "Nation Builders" section, the sheer volume of cousins, uncles, land deals, and business ventures can occasionally clutter the narrative flow. As a casualty of such extensive archival work, secondary figures sometimes blur together, slowing down the pacing. Ultimately, The Family Behind the Girl Scouts of America is an essential read for institutional historians, scholars of American women's history, and readers interested in how nineteenth-century family networks shaped twentieth-century civic institutions. Biegert successfully proves that Juliette Gordon Low's greatest masterpiece was not merely her own creation, but the product of a complex, flawed, and fiercely resilient American dynasty.

Book review of Vanished, A Valuable African Statue Stolen in Southwest France by Roberta Samuels . ISBN: < Back Vanished, A Valuable African Statue Stolen in Southwest France Roberta Samuels Historical Mystery Red Penguin Books Share this review: Copy link Facebook LinkedIn X (Twitter) WhatsApp Pinterest In a tranquil French town, an attempted kidnapping and the theft of a sacred African statue intertwine the lives of a restaurant owner, her family, and two brothers from Senegal, as they navigate the complexities of migration, cultural heritage, and the quest for a better future. “Vanished” weaves together tranquil rural France with the harsh realities of life in West Africa. This story explores themes of cultural heritage, the desperation driving migration, and the human spirit. Samuels balances suspense with insightful cultural exploration. The attempted kidnapping of Manu, the son of restaurant owners Alice and Édouard, serves as the initial spark, igniting a chain of events that draw the narrator and her boyfriend, Sam, into a complex investigation. This incident coincides with the theft of a valuable Nkisi Kongo statue, a powerful symbol of African heritage, adding another layer of intrigue. The story's true strength lies in its parallel storyline following Abdoulaye Diop's perilous journey from Senegal to Europe. The author creates a clear picture of the challenges faced by those seeking a better life, from the economic hardship in Senegal to the dangers of traversing Mali and Niger. Abdoulaye's experiences, including his near conscription by terrorists and his encounter with Ekon Ibrahim, a Nigerian migrant fleeing environmental devastation, are both heartbreaking and eye-opening. These passages offer a stark contrast to the peaceful life in Caussade, highlighting the vast disparities that exist in the world. The cultural exploration in the French sections of the book is equally compelling. The narrator and Sam's research into African culture, their attendance at the Africajarc Festival, and their interactions with art dealer François Lamy provide a rich understanding of the Nkisi Kongo statue's significance. The author integrates these cultural elements into the plot, enhancing the story's resonance. The resolution, while satisfying, doesn't shy away from the complexities of the situation. Abdoulaye's reunion with his half-sister Alice and her husband in France offers a glimmer of hope, while the discovery of the oil deposit in the Niger Delta presents both opportunities and potential challenges for the Ogoni people. The arrest of François Lamy for his role in the statue's theft provides a sense of justice, but the larger issues of cultural appropriation and exploitation remain. "Vanished" is for readers interested in multicultural stories and social issues. "Vanished" sheds light on the human cost of migration and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.

Book review of Alice Anyway by Brenda K. Thompson . ISBN: 9798298698986 < Back Alice Anyway Brenda K. Thompson Appalachian setting, religious control, community pressure, female autonomy Independently published Share this review: Copy link Facebook LinkedIn X (Twitter) WhatsApp Pinterest A quiet Appalachian woman who has spent her life being shaped by family, church, and a controlling husband must choose between obedience and selfhood after devastating loss awakens her to the possibility of a life of her own. Alice Anyway is a quiet, deeply atmospheric historical novel set against the unforgiving landscape of 1940s Appalachia. It follows Alice, a young woman who seeks sanctuary from heavy grief in the arms of a devout young church leader, only to find herself trapped inside an architecture of rigid spiritual surveillance. Thompson mirrors the external environment to Alice’s internal reality. The isolation of her Virginia mountain childhood doesn’t vanish when she marries Darrell Whitlow. Instead, it is merely re-packaged. The physical loneliness of her family’s homestead is traded for the social and psychological confinement of the New Rock Revival Church. Thompson establishes a striking dichotomy between the vast, wild mountain landscape and the suffocating, small rooms where Alice’s bodily and spiritual agency are slowly eroded. The heart of this novel lies in its quietest battles. Alice is a compelling protagonist because her defense mechanism of silence is authentic to her time and upbringing. Having learned early to survive her family’s rejection by blending into the background, her central bond with her father, Marvin, serves as her anchor. When Marvin is suddenly absent, Alice accepts Darrell’s proposal. He is a “covering” that promises protection, but delivers erasure. Darrell’s descent into control is subtle. He dominates through pastoral ambition, not outright malice, answering for Alice and transforming her into a prop for his public image. The handling of Alice’s spiritual and domestic expectations elevates the text into a profound tragedy. When the church community folds Alice into its expectations for Darrell’s household, her grief is magnified by her complete lack of privacy. The contrast between her private solace, building tiny, self-contained terrariums, and the public theft of her bodily autonomy is a heartbreakingly sharp motif. In the middle chapters, the daily pressures from Darrell’s family and the church women accumulate, narrowing Alice’s world little by little until the reader feels the same claustrophobia she does. The climax of Alice Anyway shifts the novel from a story of enduring suffering into a tense story of quiet escape. Devastating events become the catalyst for Alice’s quiet but powerful decision to reclaim her future. In the atmospheric tradition of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, this historical novel delivers a deeply grounded sense of place. At its core, Alice Anyway is a compelling story of female empowerment and self-determination, charting one woman’s journey to break free from rigid systems of religious and domestic control. It does not look away from the ugly realities of domestic spiritual abuse, but it does not end in hopelessness. Instead, it leaves the reader with the hard-earned sense that a person’s voice, no matter how deeply buried, can find its way back to the surface. Previous Next

Learn more about The Darden Kids < Back The Darden Kids From PTO Meeting to Page-Turner: How a Mom's Job Sparked a Movement It started with a murmur in the back of a school auditorium. An ordinary Tuesday night PTO meeting, the kind where parents gather to discuss school events and fundraisers, took an unexpected turn for one PTO President. Amidst the hum of adult conversation, a different kind of chatter arose – the excited whispers of her four children. "They were talking loudly," she recalls, "and when I asked what all the fuss was about, they told me none of their friends or classmates believed I was a construction manager." It wasn't a new revelation. The disbelief was a recurring theme, a constant surprise expressed by children at community events and school presentations. But this time, something clicked. The question lingered: why was it so hard for these children to imagine a woman, let alone their friend's mother, in a construction role? A conversation with her children ensued, a deep dive into the stereotypes and preconceived notions that limited their classmates' imaginations. And from that conversation, a book was born: "My Mom is a Construction Manager," written by the Darden Kids and their mom. This isn't just a biographical tale; it's a mission. The book chronicles the author's journey from a young girl fascinated by Legos, puzzles, and math to a successful construction business owner, author, and e-course creator. But its core message is far broader: to break down stereotypes and show young people, especially girls, that they can build their futures in any field they dream of. The author emphasizes the powerful influence of representation. "What they see is what they will be, when you see me you can be me," she states, highlighting the importance of showing children what's possible. Her own journey is a testament to the power of positive influence. She credits her parents, both educators, with instilling in her the belief that she could achieve anything. "They empowered me to believe I could do anything," she says. "Their guidance and dedication to learning taught me to value education and to trust in my abilities." Their unwavering support helped her navigate the challenges of being a young African American woman in a male-dominated field. After building $2 billion in construction projects, she took the leap and started her own construction business, a move directly inspired by her parents' belief in her. Equally influential are her four children. They were the catalyst for the book, their innocent disbelief sparking a desire to challenge perceptions. "Their initial conversations with classmates, who couldn’t believe their mom worked in construction, sparked the idea for the book," she explains. "They brought fresh perspectives to the project, helping to ensure the book would resonate with young readers." The book, along with its accompanying construction plushie, is more than just a story; it's a tool for empowerment. It's a way to show children that their dreams are not limited by societal expectations, that they can break down barriers and build their own paths. It's a message that resonates far beyond the pages of a book, inspiring a generation to see beyond stereotypes and build a future where anything is possible.
