I could not step away from this story line. Every page kept me guessing about motives and who did the bad deeds. Importantly, this book does an excellent job of showing how the rape of one woman can impact so many lives and just how easily and often rapes happen without consequences to the rapist.

After a traffic stop turns violent at the hands of the police, a young Black teen grapples with racism—and what it means for his future. Critically acclaimed author Nic Stone boldly tackles America’s troubled history with race relations in her gripping debut novel. Justyce is a good kid, an honor student, and always there to help a friend—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs without cause. When faced with injustice, Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore?

I purchased this book because I read somewhere that it was banned or a teacher received flack for assigning it. The author skillfully brings you the experience and thoughts of young black men in America. Literature should bring you experiences you can’t or don’t have and help you understand another’s perspective and this book receives 5 stars for that. I’m so glad I read it!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9
Richmond, Virginia 1811. It’s the height of the winter social season, the General Assembly is in session, and many of Virginia’s gentleman planters, along with their wives and children, have made the journey to the capital. On the night after Christmas, the city's only theater is packed with holiday revelers. In the middle of a performance, the theater goes up in flames. Based on the true story of Richmond’s theater fire, The House Is on Fire offers proof that sometimes, in the midst of great tragedy, we are offered our most precious—and fleeting—chances at redemption.

Sometimes stories told from different perspectives become confusing and it’s easy to lose the thread. Not this one! Characters are so vivid that you are almost immediately invested
In them. I would love a sequel that follows Cecily through her next phase.

The prize-winning and best-selling author of Say Nothing presents a grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling.

Wow! Before this book I knew that opiods were given out like candy in some parts of the country, but I was not aware of the deliberate marketing efforts of Purdue and the Sackler family. Informative, well researched and as balanced a report as one can do on a handful of people responsible for the destruction of hundreds of thousands of lives and who couldn’t care less.

Few journalists working today have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few understand him and his motivations better. Now, demonstrating her majestic command of this story, Haberman reveals in full the depth of her understanding of the 45th president himself, and of what the Trump phenomenon means.

I love the approach of reviewing Trump’s life prior to his presidency. Haberman is a professional, reporting the facts and providing context from years of work. Unlike other books about Trump, she doesn’t weave her opinion of Trump throughout. Very credible work!

Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

I could not pause this story. It is so well written and the characters so well developed that one cannot help but be emotional at the end. Without stories like this, we will easily forget the struggles our grandparents’ generation faced. Great book!

Democracies can die with a coup d'état - or they can die slowly. This happens most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world - not least with the election of Donald Trump - and we must all understand how we can stop them.

Every American should read or listen to this book and do so with the understanding that the authors are experts in democratic governments and give them the respect due experts. They are not blasting people on the other end of a political spectrum with personal opinion. They are shining the light on our future and we must take heed.
