Continuing the story of hope and struggle that began in "Messenger" and "Courtesans Part I," author Michael Polowetzky''s third novel, "Courtesans Part II," focuses mainly on Countess Celine de Montfort, the present leader of her unique clan. The reader learns about Celine''s childhood and adolescence. The reader learns how Celine is shaped by her idealistic mother and more worldly-wise aunt. In addition, the reader learns about Celine''s unexpected friendship with the expatriate Iranian-American scholar Ashraf Kermanshani. In winning for her new friend the academic acceptance she deserves, Celine demonstrates that the Montfort Ladies are the molders of contemporary statecraft and the shapers of modern culture.
The Montfort Ladies are movers and shakers. From their gilded cage in elite French society, these noble dames have discreetly engineered the course of much of European history for five centuries. They gently make and unmake kings, presidents and popes. They employ their behind the scene influence to forge historic alliances, settle bitter international disputes, establish famous regimes, bring seeming intractable enemies together as friends. This may be a man''s word, they concede, but that doesn''t mean ladies, too, can''t have a little say in events. "So long as you let them believe it was their idea, that they are the ones making the decisions," women are advised, "men can be led by the nose all the way to China and back!" Currently, no one is better in mastering this subtle, convoluted, political charade, than the clan''s present leader, the gifted, fetching Celine de Montfort. A dutiful mother, she also devotes much time grooming her daughters to one day succeed. Raised in this environment, her younger child is at first eager to continue enhancing her clan''s unique heritage. Then, one day, a series of events, both expected and accidental occur leading Rolande to wonder if her true role in life is perhaps found along another path.

I''m constantly intrigued about the world around me. I recently read an article about Human Trafficking. I''d heard stories about people that become addicted and find themselves on the streets selling themselves, normally for sex. I was not aware that slavery still existed. Of my many travels I did spend time at the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, and at St. Joseph''s Indian School in Chamberlin. This story is fiction. The description of theTribal Police has been colored Tony Hillerman who wrote about the Navajo Tribal Police. Although this story is fiction, unfortunately these events take place all too often. In my imagination it only made sense to me to have living bodies close to medical facilities where they could be used. Although it is not legal to pay for organs there is still people who will pay a great deal of money for living organs. Storage and preservation solutions are transported to the donor hospital within the temperature-controlled polyurethane container, and the organs are returned in the same container, within an inflatable cushion. This method is the preferred method of transportation of tissue and organs. This method offers advantages over the more conventional methods of organ storage with regard to convenience, temperature control, and sterility. The science of organ transplants has come a long way. There are many people living today because someone authorized the transplant of his organ.
Once upon a time, there was a man who believed in an ethical code of conduct when communicating. Don''t Be a Dick started out as an inside joke, used towards people whose behaviour would hinder communication. Over time, this man discovered a growing epidemic. There was an overwhelming amount of people sabotaging conversations regularly. The concept of Don''t Be a Dick could no longer remain unwritten. He forged three rules and categorized behaviours directly responsible for communication breakdowns. It is a concept he has adopted in his everyday life to promote healthy communications.
