Book Description
While on vacation the family witnesses the discovery of a murder victim buried in the sand. They attempt to help the local authorities and are rebuffed by the sheriff whom is slightly miffed at vacationers putting their noses in his business. The sisters and their husbands go on a quest of their own to solve the case, but they have one slight edge the police don't. The husbands secretly take pictures of the body and then have a difficult time finding a place to get them printed. Dropping their parents off at the Casino in Little River, they drive to a techie store in Myrtle Beach and have everyone working in the store gawking at the photos. Upon their return they discover Blue, Kate and Ell's show cat, has gotten out of the beach house and is nowhere to be found. The family is beside themselves with worry and rightfully so with a murderer on the loose, and little do they know once he is found he will bring them face to face with the murderer.

Pages : 133
Book Description
On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the Mid-Atlantic region. The devastation she would bring to the New York and New Jersey was widespread and unimaginable. Though warnings had been issued for days and many evacuated their homes and offices, thousands stood in the path of one of the strongest storms in the history of America. Winds on Long Island reached 90 mph. Large sections of Lower Manhattan flooded. Fire in Queens destroyed more than 100 buildings. In New Jersey, 2.6 million homes were without people and nearly 40 people were killed. A 50-foot piece of the Atlantic City Boardwalk washed away and half the city of Hoboken was under water. Hundreds of thousands were left without power and water, with dwindling food supplies. Amidst this devastation, Sandy inspired courage and hope in many New Yorkers, giving them the will to triumph against incalculable odds. Seeking shelter and the basic necessities of life, thousands continued to fight on to simply survive the harshest of conditions and help others do the same. These gripping moments of ruin and recovery are captured in "Sandy: A Story of Complete Devastation, Courage, and Recovery," which features award-winning stories and nearly 100 vivid full-color images from the "New York Post." A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book will be donated to the Mayor's Fund for New York City and Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund.

Ashes
Author: Bernard Lewis Rottschaefer, MD
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN: 1637644434
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Ashes By: Bernard Lewis Rottschaefer, MD Uli is excited having discovered scores of previously unsuspected relatives upon receiving his Ancestry.com DNA results. Before Uli has a chance to meet his new relations, he is arrested for a 1964 murder of a Pennsylvania State Trooper during a bank robbery. Ashes is a fast-moving, delightful melding between fiction and nonfiction, which includes snippets from an actual federal case that lays open the innermost workings of the federal criminal justice system. Caught in the Machiavellian clutches of a federal criminal prosecution, Uli leads the reader through an illuminating journey across the United States and even into Cuba. His trials sow the seeds for serious seldom foreseen downsides to the almost vertical legal playing field favoring the prosecution. Ashes provides insight into how excessive prosecutorial tilting may inadvertently strengthen the Constitutional survivalist paramilitary groups. Ashes brings to light the horrific fact that eight percent of American adult citizens are convicted felons—by far the highest percentage for any civilized nation—and explains to the reader how and why less than one percent of federal criminally indicted defendants are found not guilty. Ashes is a fictional read that brings to sharp focus areas of the federal criminal justice system which have been carefully concealed just beneath the surface, employing an enjoyable fictional storyline that will thoroughly entertain any reader irrespective as to whether they are concerned about justice or not.

Black Life Matter
Author: Biko Mandela Gray
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478022116
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 103
Book Description
In Black Life Matter, Biko Mandela Gray offers a philosophical eulogy for Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Tamir Rice, Alton Sterling, and Sandra Bland that attests to their irreducible significance in the face of unremitting police brutality. Gray employs a theoretical method he calls “sitting-with”—a philosophical practice of care that seeks to defend the dead and the living. He shows that the police who killed Stanley-Jones and Rice reduced them to their bodies in ways that turn black lives into tools that the state uses to justify its violence and existence. He outlines how Bland’s arrest and death reveal the affective resonances of blackness, and he contends that Sterling’s physical movement and speech before he was killed point to black flesh as unruly living matter that exceeds the constraints of the black body. These four black lives, Gray demonstrates, were more than the brutal violence enacted against them; they speak to a mode of life that cannot be fully captured by the brutal logics of antiblackness.

Female Adolescence
Author: Katherine Dalsimer
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300040319
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
A sensitive, gracefully written exploration of the distinctiveness of the female adolescent experience. The author combines insights drawn from her clinical practice with informed analyses of familiar works of literature. Her premise is that literature does not merely exemplify but deepens our understanding of psychological processes. "A brilliant and evocative analysis of the transition from girlhood to womanhood, with its longings, its pain, and the pride of growing up. The depiction is rich with the particularities of the experiences of adolescent girls, and provides a welcome contrast to the usual rendering of this period as a variation on male development."--Lila Braine, Chair, Department of Psychology, Barnard College "Masterful analyses of five literary works. . . . Dalsimer's interpretations are remarkable for the intelligent and informed acuity of her psychoanalytic observations as well as for their preservation of the texture of lived experience. A uniquely felicitous conjunction of psychoanalysis and literature."--Choice "Dalsimer's commentaries prove consistently empathetic, discerning, and convincing. . . . This beautifully writen book renders important service both to psychoanalysis and to literary studies."--Paul Schwaber, Professor of Letters, Wesleyan University "This book will be treasured by anyone who has taught or treated an adolescent girl, or read a book about one, or, like Freud and the rest of us, simply wondered at the miracle of transformation of a girl into a woman."--Robert Michels, M.D., Chairman, Department of Psychiatry, Cornell University Medical College
