Story
A series of brutal home invasions terrified Los Angeles in 1937. They ended in Chicago a year later with the arrest of African American teenager Robert Nixon, igniting racial tensions in an already appallingly divided city. Tortured in custody and portrayed by the press in the most lurid and flagrantly racist terms, Nixon faced an all-white jury. It would be the fastest conviction in the history of Cook County. The case against Nixon is a still-relevant examination of bigotry, suppressed rage, and the making of a murderer.

Story
It’s easy to get lost in Chicago’s Cook County Jail, the size of seventy-two football fields. For many released into the harsh elements beyond the walls, it can be impossible to find their way home. This haunting and powerful narrative reveals the intentionally disorienting tactics of the system and how the punishments meted out to prisoners, their families, and even innocent victims extend beyond the cages. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve, the award-winning author of Crook Country, exposes the moral, spiritual, legal, and psychological wasteland - inside and out - of the nation’s largest jail.

Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

He was the child she hid in plain view from the rest of her family. As an adult, he set out to just make a living - to do better than Black folks who tried their best before, while making his Momma and Grandmomma proud. His journey to becoming a successful TV journalist nearly killed him, but he refused to treat himself as a victim. His role was to use his voice and example to pull others out of deep waters.

She saw in the mirror the woman she was growing to be - a young Muslim American woman unapologetic in her faith and her activism, who would discover her innate sense of justice in the aftermath of 9/11. Now heralded for her award-winning leadership of the Women’s March on Washington, Sarsour offers a “moving memoir [that] is a testament to the power of love in action” (Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow).

In The Opposite of Woe, Hickenlooper tells his own story of determination and daring, from business to politics, in his singularly sharp and often hilarious voice.

Many neighborhoods would be understandably subsumed by despair and recrimination after such an event, but not this one. Mark Oppenheimer poignantly shifts the focus away from the criminal and his crime, and instead presents the historic, spirited community at the center of this heartbreak.

On October 23, 1989, affluent businessman Charles Stuart made a frantic 911 call from his car to report that he and his seven-months-pregnant wife, Carol, a lawyer, had been robbed and shot by a Black male in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston. By the time police arrived, Carol was dead, and the baby was soon lost as well. The attack incited a furor during a time of heightened racial tension in the community. Even more appalling, while the injuries were real, Stuart’s story was a hoax: He was the true killer.

Publisher's Summary
A revealing ride-along with New England’s teenage volunteer EMTs - boys and girls pulled away from their homework to save lives when the sun goes down.
It’s a Darien, Connecticut, tradition: an emergency medical service managed by adolescents. One kid is a varsity soccer captain. There’s a future doctor, a band dork, a theater geek. Theirs is a view of town without the niceties. A drunken spouse turned violent. Lonely old people stuck in the bath. A midlife suicide. How do these kids process the sometimes shocking and violent life-and-death secrets of their community? The answer is a story of high stress and uncommon high school lives, told by a writer who spent his own youth on the night shift. Welcome to Post 53.
Rosecrans Baldwin’s Nightcrawlers is part of Exposure, a collection of six incredible and true stories of American double lives from millionaire CEOs and suburban teens to undercover investigators and scam artists - all for whom secrets are a way of life. Each piece can be listened to in a single astonished sitting.

Solid story
This was free from Amazon prime as part of the Exposure collection. This was a short, interesting story about Darien Connecticut using teens as part of its EMS squad. While that aspect was interesting, what I found even more intriguing was the portrayal of Darien as a "sundown" town and closed community; I would have like to hear more of that.

A brief look back at the authors EMS involvement in the 1990’s and current EMS ops. Also a brief history of the town itself, primarily from a socioeconomic standpoint.

Stirs raw emotions for me
This book hits very close to home for me on several fronts and like the author and the other teens in his small town that went through what he describes, I too struggle with the same dilemma of sifting out the pro's & con's of "becoming an adult" at the age of 13. (This term is used only in the terms of working an adult job until 10 or sometimes until 1 am each night and all day Saturday.) This same trait carried over to 3 out of 4 of my children as well.
It didn’t change our schooling. If anything, it likely helped us be better students and helped focus us more. We all were incredibly bored, in the honors (GATE) classes, graduated early, rarely ever needed to study for a test, and did homework at lunch. It also helped each of us choose our future careers. There were many, many positive aspects of this part of our lives.
The one major drawback is we didn't have friends our age to just be normal with. To relax, go on a date, dance, learn to socialize, etc. Making matters worse our school was split. Girls went to one school and boys went to another across town. Add to this, like the book, this was predominantly a town of mostly white people. When I started asking questions I was shut down.
I don't regret what we did or the experience but I do feel we missed out on important life lessons.
This is a very thought provoking book. I enjoyed it & recommend it. 👍

Nightcrawlers is great but short
The overall story is amazing. First starts out with late teens working as EMS in Post. Then move on to the town being known for being a “sundown” town. Then it kinda wraps up both at the end. I would want a bit longer into each side before wrapping up. Other than being too short I thought it was a great book. I’m not updated with this author do I hope there is a second book or series to this maybe.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Honestly when I saw the length I expected it to be... not that good:- I suppose. However, by the end I realized it was the perfect length, everything that needed to be said was described in perfect detail. I would definitely recommend this to other people. Of course that is with the understanding that this is just my given thought on the matter and of course other people's thoughts may differ. However I would still encourage them to try it.

That’s how he could commute prison sentences and reunite hopeless families with incarcerated loved ones. For a price. Except there was no Candlewood. No hope. Just a lowly Texas con artist who bet on the desperate - and won. And he wasn’t working alone. The multimillion-dollar deception cost the betrayed more than their savings.

Story
This is the story of an unforgivable con man. Vulnerable families were his prey. His promise was an impossible dream and a lie. Peter Candlewood understood the system. That’s how he could commute prison sentences and reunite hopeless families with incarcerated loved ones. For a price. Except there was no Candlewood. No hope. Just a lowly Texas con artist who bet on the desperate - and won. And he wasn’t working alone. The multimillion-dollar deception cost the betrayed more than their savings.

He was a cunning Berkeley Law grad who lost his job and hatched a con. Then he got rich and ran fast on an outlandish Adderall-fueled rush of stolen cash, multiple identities, and a euphoric fantasy of success.

He had insider knowledge and a knack for fraud, embezzlement, and identity theft. His steady supply of falsified prescriptions helped. Muho was on a luxury high. His luck seemed bottomless.

Story
For more than a year, over two brutal Northeast winters, the whole of Vermont was captivated by the hunt for a runaway golden retriever named Murphy. He was more than a missing dog - he was a target for capture, and journalistic obsession. This is that story. Murphy’s disappearance would unite the dog’s increasingly anxious owners with an impassioned reporter - Wilson Ring, the state’s correspondent for the Associated Press - and an online community of animal lovers. As Murphy kept running, the quest to bring him home, safe and sound, seemed more and more impossible.
