Lizzie's Brass Buttons and BabiesIn the early 1900s, Lizzie and her sister Marmie are living in the steel towns along the Monongahela River near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In the early 1900s, Lizzie and her sister Marmie are living in the steel towns along the Monongahela River near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After losing their mother at  a young age, both aspire to be lifelong mothers and begin a legacy of their own. While Marmie successfully marries and begins to bear several children, Lizzie is caught in an unfruitful marriage, and her husband’s deception about his actions in the military comes to light, showing a future where they would never together bear children.

Angry, frustrated, and longing for a family, Lizzie suffers through a long divorce process, falls in love, and is scorned by her new lover. As despair grows, Lizzie becomes lost in a sea of doubt and takes desperate actions to rid herself of her lot in life.

Lizzie’s Brass Buttons and Babies is a story about life in the steel city, a tumultuous time for steel workers and the nation as a whole with the rise of Prohibition, World Wars, and the Great Depression. Based on James E. Makin’s true family history, Lizzie’s story is a dive into the past and into the lives of our ancestors.


About the Author

James E. Makin is a Vietnam War Navy veteran and retired police officer. Following his retirement, he began working as a private investigator and within the security industry. For the past twenty years, genealogy research has been one of Makin’s passions, and he has constructed a rather extensive family tree. It was during this research when he discovered an article which led to the inspiration for Lizzie’s Brass Buttons and Babies.

Under appreciated
Format: Hardcover
I have the first edition, and the 3rd (2020), and the 3rd. This book is a decent introduction to InfoSec, although it takes a few years and some experience to be able to truly appreciate it. I've probably ready it all, in prices, across 15 years and all revisions. It's a reference, it's a guide, that book is my best friend. I think this book is a good guide for entry level folks who are looking for a comprehensive introduction to the field of computer security, and also to senior staff. Be it managers, directors, eng managers, internal audit and privacy professionals looking for a comprehensive introduction to Security relevant regardless of the particular technology they work with or industry they are in.

Highly Readable and Authoritative
Format: eTextbook
I had the pleasure of being introduced to this book by a professor in graduate school. Anderson's book is very readable for those who are getting started with security engineering. I found that going at a pace of a chapter each week or so was good for me to really digest the content. I'm about half-way through! I also recommend ching out the website for the book. It has PDF samples as well.
