Story
Mateo Garcia and his younger sister, Sophie, have been taught to fear one word for as long as they can remember: deportation. Over the past few years, however, the fear that their undocumented immigrant parents could be sent back to Mexico has started to fade. Ma and Pa have been in the United States for so long, they have American-born children, and they're hard workers and good neighbors. When Mateo returns from school one day to find that his parents have been taken by ICE, he realizes that his family's worst nightmare has become a reality.

A small window
Reviewed: 11-30-21
This book gives you a small window into how many families are being put through the ringer in our country. It also does a beautiful job at showing how these same families all continue to grow stronger and hopeful for a better day.

So many questions answered and everything well organized and placed. If you have watched the movies and have not read the books you are missing out! Must buy, even now.

Story
Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the best-selling author of The Bomber Mafia. Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he have?

Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle.

An incredible adventure is about to begin!

The Dark Path

Story
The Dark Path is considered Isaac Weishaupt's magnum opus; a result of many years delving into the recesses of occult dogma from the approach of open-minded rationalism. Isaac's journey started with an attempt to separate religion from conspiracy theories, but the agenda clearly showed a connection. The question to be considered is if the agenda of the Illuminati overlaps with the tenets of the occult and whether or not there is an evil influence at play.

This book was definitely awesome! I definitely like the fact that it presented in such a un-biased form. Yes there is a certain stance taken but not in a "holier than thou" attitude. I could have lived with out the sales pitch at the end but I respect it.

This hurts. I could barely manage to finish the first chapter. By the second I was like "Yeah, I can't do this."
P.S.
Maybe it gets better? I do not know, because I could not and will not be finishing this "book".

Instructive, eye opening, a little preach-y but definitely not without merits. The performance was a little over the top for my taste. However, all the points given seemed well researched put together.
