Book Synopsis The Sea Was in Their Blood by : Quentin Casey
Download or read book The Sea Was in Their Blood written by Quentin Casey and published by Nimbus+ORM. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journalist and maritime historian investigates the deadly 2013 storm that claimed the lives of five fishermen off the coast of eastern Canada. It was a frigid night in February 2013 when the five young fishermen vanished. The crew of the Miss Ally—a 12-metre Cape Islander from Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia—was fishing for halibut far off the Nova Scotia coast when their boat’s spotlight malfunctioned. A vicious winter storm was approaching from her south, and all other boats at the fishing grounds were steaming for shore. Unable to locate his longlining gear, the Miss Ally’s young captain decided to stay an extra day to retrieve the gear and, hopefully, a big catch. Their retreat delayed, the Miss Ally crew ended up pounded by hurricane-force winds and waves well over 10 meters high. Late on February 17, the boat foundered. The five young men aboard—Katlin Nickerson, Billy Jack Hatfield, Joel Hopkins, Cole Nickerson, and Tyson Townsend—were never found. The Sea Was in Their Blood explores two key questions: who were the men aboard the Miss Ally, and why were they battered and sunk by a storm forecasted days in advance? Through interviews with the crew’s families and friends, rescue personnel, and members of the tight-knit fishing communities of Woods Harbour and Cape Sable Island, award-winning journalist Quentin Casey pieces together the tragic sinking—including important case details not previously reported—and weaves in the backstories of the Miss Ally’s crew and the lingering effects of their disappearance. A portion of the royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to various charitable causes associated with the Miss Ally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSPIRATIONAL AND HEARTRENDING MEMOIR ABOUT BEN BREEDLOVE, WHO SHARED HIS NEAR-DEATHEXPERIENCES AND VISIONS OF HEAVEN IN HIS VIRAL VIDEOS—WRITTEN BY HIS SISTER, ALLY BREEDLOVE. On Christmas Day 2011, Ben Breedlove’s soul went to heaven. But it wasn’t his first time there. Ben suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a heart condition that posed a constant risk of sudden death. His condition, a thickening of the heart muscle, worsened over time, leaving him weak and fatigued. It also led Ben to some close calls medically, in particular cardiac arrest on four separate occasions, during which he felt the presence of angels and experienced the perfect peace of heaven. Precocious and warm, Ben was close with his family and two siblings, and forged deep relationships with his friends. He loved to wakeboard and wake surf, and he had dreams of visiting foreign countries around the world. He created the YouTube channels TotalRandomness512 and BreedloveTV, and co-created the channel OurAdvice4You, where he posted videos about everything from dating advice for girls to more serious topics like his spirituality and heart condition. Unbeknownst to his parents and family, Ben created a two-part video called "This Is My Story," in which he used flashcards to tell the world about his near-death experiences and his beckoning toward heaven. When he died a short while later, at the tender age of eighteen, his family and the rest of the world stumbled upon these videos. The world responded with overwhelming acceptance of the message Ben shared. Sharing his vision of heaven was Ben’s gift to his family, and to the world. And now this is the Breedlove family’s gift to us – an in-depth look at the life and near-deaths of Ben, the strength and faith of a family, and ultimately, the hope of heaven. Do you believe in Angels or God? I Do. – Ben Breedlove

Four years later, Anthony Goodroad finds himself a newlywed married to a gorgeous blonde. But as he’s sitting with her opening wedding presents, he comes across a most gruesome gift: a photograph of Shawn’s mutilated face and naked torso lying on a medical table. It isn’t long before Anthony and his once meth addicted friends realize that someone is coming for them, and he’s dealing a warped brand of justice. They’ll face unbearable physical and psychological torture for something they may or may not be responsible for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Alexis "Lexi" Gordon suddenly found herself divorced and homeless, she did not fold and give up on life; she fought back. Lexi worked her way through an undergraduate degree and then a law degree and landed her dream job as a prosecutor in the Carroll County District Attorney's Office elite Major Crimes Division. Well on her way to becoming the prosecutor of the division, Lexi was also being groomed by her friend and mentor, Samuel Mahoney, to take over as his position as chief of the illustrious division. Lexi slowly realized, though, she was thwarting someone else's plans to do the same. Stefon Abraham, an attorney in the bad check unit, has longed to be a member of the Major Crimes Division and dreams of eventually taking over as chief one day until Mahoney hires the likes of Lexi Gordon. Stefon, in his self-declared war against Lexi, enlists Lexi's naive assistant, Emma Naylor, as one of his weapons of destruction. Little does Lexi know that Stefon is willing to stop at nothing in his quest to take over the Major Crimes Division. While Lexi continues to be groomed to become the chief of the division, Stefon stalks, harasses, and plots in an attempt to make Lexi's life at the Carroll County District Attorney's Office a living hell, hoping to make her quit or, better yet, get terminated. Stefon enlists the help of Melanie Price, the newly appointed district attorney in his war when he convinces her the case of serial killer Lenora Becker, which Lexi is prosecuting, needs to be sent back to the state attorney general's office. When the newly appointed district attorney is murdered, Stefon pounces on the opportunity to finally get rid of Lexi by putting her in the fight of her life. Lexi is accused and tried for the brutal slaying of Melanie Price. In a strange twist of events, while Lexi is housed at the Carroll County Jail while awaiting and during her trial, she is befriended by none other than serial killer Lenora Becker, who is housed in the cell next to Lexi's. Despite a valiant effort to defend Lexi, it soon becomes apparent to Lexi's best friend and top defense attorney, Shawn Murphy, that Lexi has been set up to take the fall for Melanie Price's murder. Lexi is convicted and sentenced to death by lethal injection. Lexi and Lenora meet up again while on death row, creating an unlikely alliance between the two. Prior to her own execution, Lenora Becker vows to help Lexi, whom she believes, along with Shawn, to be wrongly convicted, be set free. Lenora enlists the help of an old childhood friend, Maximus Williams, who uncovers the truth about the prosecution and conviction of Alexis Gordon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • A “vivid and frank” (NPR) account of the crack cocaine era and a community’s ultimate resilience, told through a cast of characters whose lives illuminate the dramatic rise and fall of the epidemic “A master class in disrupting a stubborn narrative, a monumental feat for the fraught subject of addiction in Black communities.”—The Washington Post “A poignant and compelling re-examination of a tragic era in America history . . . insightful . . . and deeply moving.”—Bryan Stevenson, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Just Mercy FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD • ONE OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY AND VULTURE’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, NPR, Chicago Public Library, Publishers Weekly, She Reads, Electric Lit, The Mary Sue The crack epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s is arguably the least examined crisis in American history. Beginning with the myths inspired by Reagan’s war on drugs, journalist Donovan X. Ramsey’s exacting analysis traces the path from the last triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement to the devastating realities we live with today: a racist criminal justice system, continued mass incarceration and gentrification, and increased police brutality. When Crack Was King follows four individuals to give us a startling portrait of crack’s destruction and devastating legacy: Elgin Swift, an archetype of American industry and ambition and the son of a crack-addicted father who turned their home into a “crack house”; Lennie Woodley, a former crack addict and sex worker; Kurt Schmoke, the longtime mayor of Baltimore and an early advocate of decriminalization; and Shawn McCray, community activist, basketball prodigy, and a founding member of the Zoo Crew, Newark’s most legendary group of drug traffickers. Weaving together riveting research with the voices of survivors, When Crack Was King is a crucial reevaluation of the era and a powerful argument for providing historically violated communities with the resources they deserve.
Book Synopsis Everyday Desistance by : Laura S. Abrams
Download or read book Everyday Desistance written by Laura S. Abrams and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Everyday Desistance, Laura Abrams and Diane J. Terry examine the lives of young people who spent considerable time in and out of correctional institutions as adolescents. These formerly incarcerated youth often struggle with the onset of adult responsibilities at a much earlier age than their more privileged counterparts. In the context of urban Los Angeles, with a large-scale gang culture and diminished employment prospects, further involvement in crime appears almost inevitable. Yet, as Abrams and Terry point out, these formerly imprisoned youth are often quite resilient and can be successful at creating lives for themselves after months or even years of living in institutions run by the juvenile justice system. This book narrates the day-to-day experiences of these young men and women, focusing on their attempts to surmount the challenges of adulthood, resisting a return to criminal activity, and formulating long-term goals for a secure adult future.
