Stop the Violence, Kinda is my memoir or struggles from about 2015 to 2020. Most of it is made up, and all names have been changed to protect my friends and family, just in case. The first part of my book you will listen to is really the most recent time in my life, post-coronavirus 2020. Then, it takes you back in time. You'll come right along with me through a bumpy ride of drug addiction, salesmanship, leadership, and the inside of corporate America.

This book is an autobiography about my son, Kerron Rasheem Hunt. How he was seduced into the Street life and drawn away by his own passions from seeing this street life demonstrated and portrayed before him his whole life. How selling drugs, ditching school, toting pistols, being violent towards others, smoking weed, etc. became his way of life and how he refused to stop.

It took me 37,287 words to describe the impact sexual trauma in the military has had on my life. It has taken me over 30 years to come to terms with my experience where I can now write about it and speak about it. I want to educate people about rape in the military. Perhaps I will be able to help others by sharing my experience. To keep silent just perpetuates the violence and reinforces the culture of rape that has been accepted in the military. My insight in this book will be helpful to both practitioners helping veterans and to other veterans suffering from sexual trauma as well.

On April 21, 2008, Steven "Crash" Crashinsky saved more than a thousand people when he stopped his classmate David Burnett from taking their high school hostage armed with assault weapons and high-powered explosives. You likely already know what came after for Crash: the nationwide notoriety, the college recruitment, and, of course, the book deal. What you might not know is what came before: a story of two teens whose lives have been inextricably linked since grade school, who were destined, some say, to meet that day in the teachers' lounge of Meadows High.

In this riveting memoir, Lawrence Youngblood chronicles his life's journey in the grim ghetto of New Orleans, Louisiana. It is a story about how a dysfunctional home and the mean streets of uptown tainted the life of a child. No one is born into the world with the mental inception that they want to be bad or a gangsta or criminal. As human beings we are born in total innocence, but in this case, a young boy's environment shaped who he was to become. Trapped by both his demons and those of his parents', he's led down a dark path that he wouldn't have otherwise chosen for himself.

He shares stories of freaks, a carnival pimp, a tramp gold miner, and the last king of the sideshows.

Sidst i marts 2021 dræber en 61-årig mand sin 62-årige ekskone i Horsens. Den dræbte er forfatteren Niels Franks søster, Elin. Knap tre måneder tidligere har Elin forladt sin mand gennem 30 år og faren til deres to voksne sønner. De næste uger flytter hun rundt mellem hemmelige adresser i Horsens, inden hun til sidst flytter ind på et krisecenter – hele tiden i frygt for, hvad hendes eksmand, der har brugt de sidste mange år på at ydmyge og skælde hende ud, kan finde på.

Den dag bodelingen skal foregå, ringer Niels Franks telefon klokken 8.32, og så ved han, at det er gået galt.

In 1878, Elder Joseph Standing traveled into the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia, seeking converts for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sixteen months later, he was dead, murdered by a group of 12 men. Most accounts of this event have linked Standing's murder to the virulent 19th-century anti-Mormonism that also took the life of prophet Joseph Smith and to an enduring southern tradition of extralegal violence.

The word inamorata means lover; more specifically, a female lover. It is a romantic word. An intimate word. A word that curdled her blood. Because it was his name for her. His token of affection. What he always called her before he brought her into a world of pain. But all of that is behind her. She has escaped, moved on, and even found new love - a new love who is determined to protect her, heal her, and give her the fairy-tale love she so sorely deserves. Unfortunately, not all fairytales have happy endings....

Pure Land is the story of the most brutal murder in the history of the Grand Canyon and how McGivney's quest to investigate the victim's life and death wound up guiding the author through her own life-threatening crisis. On this journey stretching from the southern tip of Japan to the bottom of Grand Canyon, and into the ugliest aspects of human behavior, Pure Land offers proof of the healing power of nature and of the resiliency of the human spirit.

In Against Football Steve Almond details why, after 40 years as a fan, he can no longer watch the game he still loves. Using a synthesis of memoir, reportage, and cultural critique, Almond asks a series of provocative questions: Does our addiction to football foster a tolerance for violence, greed, racism, and homophobia? What does it mean that our society has transmuted the intuitive physical joys of childhood--run, leap, throw, tackle--into a billion-dollar industry?

I am a survivor of an 11-year physically and emotionally abusive relationship. I suffered beatings, broken bones, knocked out teeth, public humiliation, and several serious murder attempts. This is unfortunately not a new story in our society today.

"That would never happen to me. I'm too strong. I would walk out." Those were KC Andrews' thoughts as a trainee nurse listening to a lecture on domestic violence. But when it happened to her, it took years to finally leave. She has now rebuilt her life from the ashes of a brutal marriage, and along the way met other women who have survived the fog of fear and feelings of worthlessness - and then on the outside, endured the disbelief and bureaucratic bungles of those who should have helped. But now, each woman's brilliance is emerging once again.
