Something massive is coming…
And it’s heading for Earth.

Incisive, entertaining, and occasionally controversial, this âbiographyâ of Americaâs framing document explains not only what the Constitution says but also why the Constitution says it.
We all know this much: the Constitution is neither immutable nor perfect. Amar shows us how the story of this one relatively compact document reflects the story of America more generally. For example, much of the Constitution, including the glorious-sounding âWe the People,â was lifted from existing American legal texts, including early state constitutions. The Constitution was as much a product of its environment as it was a product of its individual creatorsâ inspired genius.
Despite the Constitutionâs flaws, its role in guiding our republic has been nothing short of amazing. Skillfully placing the document in the context of late-eighteenth-century American politics, Americaâs Constitution explains, for instance, whether there is anything in the Constitution that is unamendable; the reason America adopted an electoral college; why a president must be at least thirty-five years old; and whyâfor now, at leastâonly those citizens who were born under the American flag can become president.

In a story that is at once a 1990s Hepburn-Tracy affair and an astute observation of life in the Northwest, Deep Waters resonates with wit, vivid characters, and a mystery-romance to die for. Jayne Ann Krentz, as always, is a master!
Charity Truitt was fighting yet another panic attack that made it increasingly clear she was not going to complete the corporate merger between the Truitt department store chain and Loftus Athletic Gear. She was not going to marry Brett Loftus either…
Notorious deal maker Elias Winters had changed gears and soon after, settled in Whispering Waters Cove. He’d been studying martial arts and Asian philosophy with one burning goal in mind – only to discover that he’d been swept into unknown emotional seas….
Facing crises of career and heart, two of the most powerful corporate figures in the Northwest are now borne by the currents of fate to the same small Washington town, and to their respective shops – a bookstore for Charity and a small curiosity shop for Elias. But no one, especially Charity Truitt, believes that Elias Winters has suddenly stopped out swimming the corporate sharks just to run a small business. As Charity and Elias begin a cautious exploration of each other’s pasts, hidden agendas, and libidos, they discover one thing they definitely have in common: a martial arts master, he’s a novice at relationships; a formidable executive, she’s starting in the mailroom when it comes to love. After two shocking murders, Charity and Elias really join forces to catch a killer – and become next in line for an early demise.
