Books with title Alan Jackson

Andrew Jackson - war hero and spokesman for the frontier, the first president from west of the Alleghenies, the first born in a log cabin - fought his way to the White House. Once there, he stood for the rights of common citizens, founded the Democratic Party, expanded the powers of the presidency, paid off the national debt, and postponed civil war by prevailing against the advocates of states’ rights. By today’s standards, however, Jackson was hardly politically correct: He also owned many slaves on his Tennessee plantation and sponsored the Indian Removal Act, which triggered the brutal forced march of tens of thousands of Native Americans to Oklahoma. Here is his story.

Jackson knew the moment he saw her that she was his mate. One touch confirmed what his heart had already accepted. He didn’t question it, didn’t deny it like his brother Phoenix had when he met Ellis. So what if she was human, on the run, and mother to three Shifter boys. She was his. Now, all he had to do was tell her. Dianna Lovell was done running. Her children needed a pack, so she had found one. Since her husband had died and even before his death, they had been running from the Black Claw Pack. When the Howlin Alpha took her in, she was grateful. Her boys needed to learn to control their shifting. As a human, she knew nothing about raising shifters.When the Alpha’s brothers take her and her boys in to protect them, she can’t help but notice one of them. Jackson is everything a man should be and more. The boys’ father would want her to move on. What has her confused was the intensity in which she wanted this man.

Alan Jackson has always been able to connect with his country music fans, but when he wrote a song addressing the terrorist attacks on American soil in September 2001, he touched the whole country. After debuting "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," the popular star reached legendary status. Since the release of his first album in 1990, Jackson has rocketed to the top of country music, earning more than 50 top awards, including Entertainer of the Year five times. His climb to the top was not easy. No stranger to hard work, he struggled as a shoe repairman, a car salesman, and a forklift driver. It would take his wife's pluck at a chance encounter with a country music icon to get Jackson's foot in the door of the industry. That meeting would change the course of Jackson's life and of country music history.
