Books with title Kate Hudson

You might say that Kate Hudson’s destiny was determined at birth. Her mother, Goldie Hawn, a popular movie star, loved to take Kate along to her movie sets. You might say Kate grew up on a movie set—and loved every minute of it. Kate’s childhood was filled with movie stars but it all seemed normal to her. Goldie and her “Pa” Kurt Russell raised Kate to appreciate everything she had. Kate was not given everything she asked for. She was always taught the importance of respect, generosity, and family. As she grew older, Kate’s stunning good looks mimicked those of her famous mother and directors couldn’t wait to cast her in their movies. But despite the fact that fame was exciting to Kate, she never lost sight of what was most important, the love of her family.

History has not been kind to Henry Hudson. He's been dismissed as a short-tempered man who played favorites with his crew and had an unstoppable ambition and tenacity. Although he gave his name to a mighty river, an important strait, and a huge bay, today he is remembered more for the mutiny that took his life. The grandson of a trader, Hudson sailed under both British and Dutch flags, looking for a northern route to China. Although none of his voyages led to the discovery of a northwest passage, he did explore what is now Hudson's Bay and what is now New York City.Whatever his personal shortcomings, to sail through dangerous, ice-filled waters with only a small crew in a rickety old boat, he must have been someone of rare courage and vision. In Hudson, Janice Weaver has created a compelling portrait of a man who should be remembered not for his tragic end, but for the way he advanced our understanding of the world.
