A story of the Roaring Twenties, the birth of tabloid media, and the courtship that captured the heart and imagination of the American public

by Michael M. Greenburg (October 2008)
($25.95)

One of the greatest public scandals of all time played out in large part at the Kew Gardens Inn in Kew Gardens in 1926. The brief but scandalous marriage between a 50 something real estate mogul named Edward West "Daddy" Browning and fifteen year old Frances Belle "Peaches" Heenan would have been unbelievable as fiction. The subsequent divorce trial took tabloid journalism to new heights (depths) of frenzy. Available from:
