Peninsula of Lies is nonfiction mystery, set in a haunting gothic locale and peopled by fascinating and eccentric characters. Its hero and heroine is Dawn Langley Simmons, a British writer who lived in Charleston, South Carolina, during the 1960s and became the center of one of the most unusual sexual scandals.Born in England, Dawn began life as a boy named Gordon Langley Hall, the son of servants at Sissinghurst Castle, the estate of Vita Sackville-West. In his twenties he made his way to New York, where he wrote about and befriended great society ladies. A small fortune inherited from Isabel Whitney allowed him to buy and decorate a mansion in Charleston. But Gordon's world changed in 1968 when at The Johns Hopkins Hospital he underwent one of the first sexual reassignment surgeries, scandalizing the Southern community that had welcomed him. Months later Gordon shocked Charleston again. Gordon -- now Dawn -- married a young black mechanic, soon appeared to be pregnant, and shortly thereafter became the mother of a young girl.
National Book Award-winning author Edward Ball has written a detective story that unwraps Dawn's many mysteries. The result is an engrossing narrative of a person who tested every taboo, as well as the confidence of observers in their own eyes.

Very smooth and also affordable when buying the 3 bottle set.
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I just love this lotion. I am 78 years old and need extra moisture daily. I can tell you how this lotion has made such a difference in my mature skin. I use it every morning after a shower and nightly for over night protection. I love that it's unscented and doesn't take away from my cologne that I love, where other lotions overwhelmed my cologne. Anyway I love it so much that I bought the 3 bottle package to have it always on hand. I am very picky with my face lotions and serums and I use this lotion on my face after my serums. It makes my makeup go on so smoothly and seems to help not having to reapply during the day. I just can't say enough about it and this lotion will be my go to body lotion as well. I am constantly getting compliments on how soft and smooth my skin looks and feels and this is saying something when approaching 79 years young!!!

MY FAVORITE HAND LOTION FOR DECADES
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This particular version of Vaseline Intensive Care hand lotion is the best on the market. I have used it for decades, and though I have tried to other brands, keep coming back to this. It moisturizes very well, is not greasy and can be used anywhere on the body. Highly recommend!
