Book excerpt: A Chilling True Story of Injustice David Parrish was in disbelief when he learned that nineteen-year-old Jon Bowie’s body had been found hanged from a backstop at the local high school’s baseball field and the death declared a suicide. David had known Jon and his twin brother since they were boys. He had coached them on the baseball field and welcomed them into his home for sleepovers with his own sons. However, when David learned how Jon’s body was found, he felt compelled to find the facts behind the incomprehensible tragedy. Soon, David would learn of a brutal incident at a local motel where Jon and his brother had been severely beaten by police officers, the charges filed against those officers, and the months of harassment and intimidation Jon and his brother endured. Few in the utopian community of Columbia, Maryland, believed Jon could commit such a final act. Like many others, David wondered how a fateful night of teens blowing off steam could lead to such a tragic end. As law enforcement failed to find answers and seemed intent on preventing the truth from surfacing, David uncovered a system of cover-ups that could only lead to one conclusion—Jon’s death was an act of murder. “A true page turner, filled with almost-too-unbelievable-to-be-true details of one community’s fight to find justice for one of its own . . . the issues raised, particularly when it comes to questions of police brutality and cover-ups, are very much relevant today.” —New York Times bestselling author Lisa Pulitzer Includes 8 Pages of Photographs Visit us at www.kensingtonbooks.com

The following is an excerpt from a police report I wrote after coaching a Little League baseball game where a player, who was eight years old, hit the ball into the stands and injured a six-year-old boy in the head. -> Kids don’t think. They were college students, and they were still kids to me. They had grown up together and were all friends or familiar acquaintances. They had talked for weeks about renting a motel room for a party, but most were under the legal drinking age in Maryland. #2 I was coaching a team of ten- and eleven-year-old boys, and their mother, Sandra Bowie, came to watch them play. Sandra was a divorced single parent who had hired her sons to do occasional jobs at the daycare center she managed. #3 A group of ten- and eleven-year-old boys rented a motel room for a party, and when the police arrived, eight girls and six boys were inside. #4 The police were called to a motel room where ten- and eleven-year-old boys were playing baseball. Eight girls and six boys were inside. The police would say they were just doing their jobs, but I believe the kids were just doing what they had grown up doing - playing baseball together.

Book excerpt: Written with unexpected humor and great warmth, The Widower's Notebook is a portrait of a marriage, an account of the complexities of finding oneself single again after losing your spouse, and a story of the enduring power of familial love. "This is deeply moving ... beautifully written and modulated, with a dollop of droll, black humor. It is such an achievement, like running uphill against a strong wind."--Joyce Carol Oates On a summer day in New York Jonathan Santlofer discovers his wife, Joy, gasping for breath on their living room couch. After a frenzied 911 call, an ambulance race across Manhattan, and hours pacing in a hospital waiting room, a doctor finally delivers the fateful news. Consumed by grief, Jonathan desperately tries to pursue life as he always had--writing, social engagements, and working on his art--but finds it nearly impossible to admit his deep feelings of loss to anyone, not even his to beloved daughter, Doria, or to himself. As Jonathan grieves and heals, he tries to unravel what happened to Joy, a journey that will take him nearly two years.

Book excerpt: In this invaluable guide and touchstone, New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz addresses the difficult but necessary topic of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. Drawing on personal experiences, stories from fellow pet owners, and philosophical reflections, Katz provides support for those in mourning. By allowing ourselves to grieve honestly and openly, he posits, we can in time celebrate the dogs, cats, and other creatures that have so enriched us. Katz compels us to consider if we gave our pets good lives, if we were their advocates in times of need, and if we used our best judgments in the end. In dealing with these issues, we can alleviate guilt, let go, and help others who are undergoing similar passages. By honoring the animals that have graced our lives, we reveal their truly timeless gifts: unwavering companionship and undying love. With a brand-new Foreword by the author.

Book excerpt: A prizewinning political scientist traces the origins of urban-rural political conflict and shows how geography shapes elections in America and beyond Why is it so much easier for the Democratic Party to win the national popular vote than to build and maintain a majority in Congress? Why can Democrats sweep statewide offices in places like Pennsylvania and Michigan yet fail to take control of the same states' legislatures? Many place exclusive blame on partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression. But as political scientist Jonathan A. Rodden demonstrates in Why Cities Lose, the left's electoral challenges have deeper roots in economic and political geography. In the late nineteenth century, support for the left began to cluster in cities among the industrial working class. Today, left-wing parties have become coalitions of diverse urban interest groups, from racial minorities to the creative class. These parties win big in urban districts but struggle to capture the suburban and rural seats necessary for legislative majorities. A bold new interpretation of today's urban-rural political conflict, Why Cities Lose also points to electoral reforms that could address the left's under-representation while reducing urban-rural polarization.

Book excerpt: Humility, or holding power loosely for the sake of others, is sorely lacking in today’s world. Without it, many people fail to develop their true leadership potential and miss out on genuine fulfillment in their lives and their relationships. Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and Leadership shows how the virtue of humility can turn your strengths into true greatness in all areas of life. Through the lessons of history, business, and the social sciences, author John Dickson shows that humility is not low self-esteem, groveling, or losing our distinct gifts. Instead, humility both recognizes our inherent worth and seeks to use whatever power we have at our disposal on behalf of others. Some of the world’s most inspiring and influential players have been people of immense humility. The more we learn about humility, the more we understand how essential it is to a satisfying career and personal life. By embracing this virtue, we will transform for good the unique contributions we each make to the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is like to live without touch or movement/position sense (proprioception)? The only way to understand the importance of these senses, so familiar we cannot imagine their absence, is to ask someone in that position. Ian Waterman lost them below the neck over forty years ago, though pain and temperature perception and his peripheral movement nerves were unaffected. Without proprioceptive feedback and touch the movement brain was disabled. Completely unable to move, he felt disembodied and frightened. Then, slowly, he taught himself to dress, eat and walk by thinking about each movement and with visual supervision. In Losing Touch, the narrative moves between biography and scientific research, theatre, documentary and zero gravity. He has been married three times, and built up successful careers in disability access audit, using his impairment to his advantage, and in rare turkey breeding and journalism. The neuroscience has led to data on movement without feedback, the pleasantness of touch, gesture, pain and body orientation in space. The account shows how the science was actually done but also reveals Ian's journey from passive subject to informed critic of science and scientists and that the science has given him both more understanding but also greater confidence personally. His unique response to such a rare condition has also led to a BBC documentary, theatrical portrayals and a weightless flight with NASA. As a young man he sought triumph over his impairment; now, nearly 65, he has more mature reflections on living with such an extraordinary loss, the limits it has imposed and the opportunities it has enabled. He gives his views on scientists and on others he has met including Oliver Sacks and Peter Brook. In an Afterword those from science, the arts and philosophy give an appreciation of his contribution. The book is the result of nearly 30 years close collaboration between author and subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He Heals the Brokenhearted is a story of a young widow who journaled throughout many years of her life. She wrote the first book that led her on a journey to a life that only God transformed. This is her continued story of trusting God and leaning on him to direct her path. The untimely death of her husband left her heart shattered and broken. She had a little six-year-old boy without a father. A part of her died when her husband died. She was completely lost. She turned to anything and everything to numb the pain. Barhopping, drinking, and drugs did not ease the heartache. She wanted to die. Shortly after the birthday of her deceased husband, she met a man that changed her outlook on life. Now we have two very broken people who need God desperately. Through all the heartache, deception, anger, guilt, and shame, God turned their life around in a way only he can. God picked them up when they fell into the life the enemy plotted against them. Their lives were radically changed by turning to the Lord for guidance, learning how to start all over. They will never be the same (Romans 8:28-37).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartbreaking, honest, and downright funny novel about loss and recovery "She lay pinned in the back seat listening . . . to the sounds of help that had come too late." Six months ago a terrible car accident devastated Emily Racine. Not only did she lose her older brother, Jon, but her own injuries prevented her from doing the thing she loved best: dancing. Now, just as Emily is getting on her feet again, she receives another blow: her parents want to sell their house, which they feel is too full of sad memories. But the cellar of this house is the only place where Emily can still feel and speak to Jon--and she can't bear to lose him twice. Emily tries hard to prevent the sale, often with humorous results. Yet as the months pass she comes to realize that change may not always be a bad thing. With lots of love and support she finds a way to say good-bye to her brother and her cherished childhood dream. By turns heartwrenching and hilarious, Sis Deans's moving novel will resonate long after the last page has been read.

Book excerpt: I Fell not because I hated humans, but because I loved one of my own… Mara finally found the courage to open her heart and give Jon a chance, but her tentative happiness is threatened before she even gets to go on her first official date. Aleksander is gone, removed by the Council for being too lenient, and his replacement isn't willing to turn a blind eye to anything. And that's not the only thing keeping them apart. Completing her work with Richard should have made Mara happy. But her new assignment with an artist in Richmond means leaving West Virginia, and Jon, behind. Worse, the new watcher insists that Mara move in with her and Eris. Living under Irene's watchful eye is hard enough. Sharing a home with Eris makes her growing attraction to him--and his clear desire for her--inescapable. Jon may make her happy, but Eris understands her loneliness in a way that no one else can. And she's only just beginning to unravel the secrets his silence hides. Mara's wayward heart isn't the only thing troubling her. She knows she's being watched, and not just by Irene. What she doesn't know is whether her stalker was sent by the Council or by the Fallen. Either could ruin everything she's been working toward if they catch her with Jon. Can Mara stay on the Council's good side, avoid the machinations of the Fallen, and keep her unruly heart in line, all while guiding a new human to the light? Or will she stumble under the combined weights of responsibility and desire? There can be no return from a second Fall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES—THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addiction is the Biblical plague of our time, and the battle against it is up to each one of us. Although it may seem hopeless, every single person can take actions to fight this scourge that is killing an American every five minutes. This book offers real, hands-on answers about what can be done, what works and what does not, and how Americans can regain a sense of control over the addiction epidemic. This practical guide is for parents and grandparents, school personnel, employers, faith leaders, elected officials and policy makers, and others who want to make a difference against this cruel blight. The answers were gained through the long and painful experiences of a mother whose son died as a result of his opioid addiction. The story told here is a dramatic, page-turning, and real account, with heart-stopping fear, cliff-hanging rescues, periods of despair and respites of relief and joy that the son and his mother shared. Their love for each other was strong, but the mother learned that love is not enough to fight a terrible disease. As a professional researcher and writer, she sought answers after her son’s death in science, history, public health policy, and spirituality. In this book, she shares what she learned and brings the reader inside one of the most important and timely topics in the nation today.
