Popular western writer Zane Grey was a literary celebrity during his lifetime and the center of a huge enterprise based on his writing, which included books, magazine serials, film and stage versions of his stories, even comic strips. His wife, Dolly, closely guided Grey's career almost from its beginning, editing and sometimes revising his work, negotiating with publishers and movie studios, and skillfully managing the considerable fortune derived from these activities. Dolly maintained the facade of a conventional married life that was essential to Grey's public image and the traditional middle-class values his work reflected. This facade was constantly threatened by Grey's numerous affairs with other women. The stress of hiding these dalliances placed a huge strain on their relationship, and much of Zane and Dolly's union was sustained largely by correspondence. Their letters--thousands of them--reveal the true nature of this complex partnership. As edited by Candace Kant, the letters offer an engrossing portrait of an extremely unorthodox marriage and its times.

Zane Grey was a disappointed aspirant to major league baseball and an unhappy dentist when he belatedly decided to take up writing at the age of thirty. He went on to become the most successful American author of the 1920s, a significant figure in the early development of the film industry, and a central player in the early popularity of the Western. Thomas H. Pauly's work is the first full-length biography of Grey to appear in over thirty years. Using a hitherto unknown trove of letters and journals, including never-before-seen photographs of his adventures--both natural and amorous--Zane Grey has greatly enlarged and radically altered the current understanding of the superstar author, whose fifty-seven novels and one hundred and thirty movies heavily influenced the world's perception of the Old West.

The norm for me was but the latest juicy update for them—family, friends, coworkers, whoever would listen. My life felt like a reality show, and I an open book. The ongoing turmoil was so bizarre people were disturbed one individual was capable of such magnitude. From alcohol to drugs to domestic violence (all in excess), police involvement was nothing short of expected. Lies upon lies, his narcissism gave me skyrocketing anxiety.As an ethical, godly person myself, I struggled to comprehend the predicament I was in. Surely this was not my best life. Along with his abuse, I racked my own brain asking, “What am I supposed to learn from all of this?” Maybe if I knew, I could move past this phase. But certain lessons can only be fully understood the hard way.If I could go back in time and alter the past, I would not change a thing. As tormenting as it was, I lost battles (for sure), but I won the war. I am in a far better place than I ever imagined. I have grown leaps and bounds in many facets of life. Everything truly happens for a reason.One day it hit me: turn a negative (-) into a positive (+), hence Baby Daddy from Hellwas born. In this book based on a true story, I will take you on a journey of laughter, tears, and righteous anger while I share with you how to do the following:● Establish boundaries● Prepare for court● Handle harassment● Put children first● Divertarguments● Make hard choices● Redirect emotions● Stay the courseIt is liberating to know if I can survive that and come out on top, nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’m possible.” Don’t make the same mistake I did; don’t be naive. Take initiative and educate yourself. Knowledge is power. Better to be safe than sorry. You never know what the future holds.
