Martha's Vineyard Book Signing "Forbidden Love" August 11 Meet Efamily member Lisa Fairchild Jones, an NAACP Image Award and Literary Critics nominated writer Harvard College Honors Grad and Harvard Law School alum
Forbidden Love is the true story of Father William C. Grau, a Black Catholic Priest and Sister Sophie Legocki, a White Polish American nun, who in the segregated fifties, defied the church and society with their passionate secret love affair that lasted for nearly a decade and gave birth to a son, Joe Steele. Joe, a Harvard College and Harvard Business School graduate and successful Global Development Consultant and Executive Coach, now understood why the Archdiocese had sealed his adoption records. When he reunites with his birth mother, Sophie, he finally hears of the passionate love that she and his birth father shared, often risking their lives to be together. Joe also learned for the first time how after his adoption, Sophie and Father Grau continued their love affair when she moved into the Rectory to live with him as his housekeeper until his death in 1964. Joe and Sophie grow closer as he too shares his life as the beloved youngest son in his nurturing and loving adopted Steele family in Cincinnati. Forbidden Love is the inspiring true story of a love that would not be denied proving that true Love will always triumph. Forbidden Love was written by Lisa Fairchild Jones, an NAACP Image Award and Literary Critics Nominated writer. She is also a screenwriter and television Executive Producer and attorney and an honors graduate of Harvard College and The Harvard Law School.

ALL ABOUT INVENTING EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PATENTS FROM A FORMER USPTO PATENT EXAMINER & PATENT ATTORNEY!
While inventors can have great ideas and know everything about their inventions, they often don’t know how to go about protecting those inventions. They try to get patents to protect their intellectual property but make avoidable mistakes and spend unnecessary money—and sometimes invest their life savings in inventions that are not patentable or lose their intellectual property to invention scamming companies.
For people who need help navigating the patent office, All About Inventing Everything You Need To Know About Patents From a Former USPTO Patent Examiner & Patent Attorney is invaluable. Andrea Hence Evans, former patent examiner at the USPTO and current patent attorney, has written this book to explain different types of patents, patent prosecution, how to avoid and correct rejections, and more! This book will help you understand your options to protect your invention and help you navigate your patent application through the USPTO.
Books will be mailed by 8/1/2018! All preorders will receive a free trademark EBOOK, Five Steps To Creating and Maintaining a Strong Brand.

We want to express our gratitude to our partners for all of their time and energy spent planning and coordinating Camp Adventure!.
