Now age 87, the French–born Ms. Schweitzer spent years chronicling a life spent in Europe, Africa and America. A gifted fashion designer with a head for business, Ms. Schweitzer tells how she became the first woman to open a clothing boutique on New York City’s Madison Avenue. She also instituted the Madison Avenue Promenade, an annual outdoor public fashion show that helped seal the fate of Madison Avenue as New York’s premiere fashion center. New York’s Mayor Lindsay honored Ms. Schweitzer for her contributions to the city, and the French Embassy Commerce Department gave her a medal for her role in bringing haute couture to America. Fashion designers Vittorio Missoni and Valentino, as well as hair designer Vidal Sassoon were among her friends and professional admirers. Facing countless personal and societal obstacles, Ms. Schweitzer triumphed as an influential fashion designer and independent businesswoman. She ran boutiques in Manhattan and Beverly Hills from the 1950s through the 1970s, and regularly received attention from celebrities and the press. At the same time, she pursued her humanitarian ideals and used her influence to actively campaign against hunger in Africa. “Madison Avenue Magic Promenade” is a touching and inspiring story of one woman’s creativity, intelligence and passion. Originally written for her family, Ms. Schweitzer's memoir provides a personal look at a remarkable life.

For Elaine Blake, marriage was never a word, it was a sentence. For 25 years, they had all been lying to her. Now the liar in chief, her husband Jason, is reported dead. Information he was supposed to hand to his spy bosses is missing. Then, a phone call – a foster son in serious trouble. And news that her husband may not be dead after all. Jason doesn’t matter, but Elaine will do anything to save her son. Even if she has to race to Paris, dodge assassins and hunt for evidence the best of spies can’t find.
Elaine Blake’s world has changed beyond recognition. In the last seven days, she’s become a widow — possibly; travelled aboard alone for the first time; learned one of her foster children has betrayed her, and that very dangerous people will kill to get their hands on the evidence they believe she has. But all she has to go on is a nonsensical cypher, a target on her back and a large dose of paranoia and fear. Cast alone into a world of espionage, can Elaine survive? To do so she has to remember who she once was. And reveal the secrets she’s kept for the last 25 years.
