Story
It’s the unfathomable modern legend that has become a testament to the resilience of the human spirit: the 1972 Andes plane crash and the Uruguayan rugby teammates who suffered 72 days among the dead and dying. It was a harrowing test of endurance that ended in a miraculous rescue. Now comes the unflinching and emotional true story by one of the men who found his way home. Four decades after the tragedy, a climber discovered survivor Eduardo Strauch’s wallet and returned it to him. It was a gesture that compelled Strauch to finally “break the silence of the mountains.”

Story
In the pretty, privileged college town of Milford, New Hampshire, everyone is friendly, and everything is safe. And on this cold autumn day, as red and yellow leaves begin to fall from the trees, and everyone wraps up for the first time, it would be easy to believe nothing bad could ever happen here. Until a screech of tires is heard, a thud, a child’s scream. The crash that sees Jenna’s six-year-old daughter, Amy Rose, being hit by a car driven by 17-year-old Maddie.

Story
Friday, 12th February, 1993. Two outwardly unremarkable 10-year-old boys began the day by playing truant and ended it running an errand for the local video shop. In between they abducted and killed a two-year-old boy, James Bulger. In search of an explanation, award-winning journalist David James Smith looks behind the misinformation, misunderstanding and sensational reporting to an exact account of the events of that day. A sensitive and definitive account, The Sleep of Reason achieves a unique understanding of the James Bulger case.

Lindsey always knew she wanted to be a detective. Her inspiration came after reading about the murders committed by Ted Bundy, who grew up in her hometown of Tacoma, Washington. Also seared into her memory was the 1986 murder of a young girl who'd been out for a bike ride when she went missing. The teen was later found murdered, but the case was never solved. The senseless killing of an innocent young girl would leave a black cloud over Tacoma for three decades.

In her memoir All That Remains, internationally renowned forensic anthropologist and human anatomist Dame Sue Black recounted her life lived eye to eye with the Grim Reaper. During the course of it, she offered a primer on the basics of identifying human remains, plenty of insights into the fascinating processes of death, and a sober, compassionate understanding of its inescapable presence in our existence. Now in this book, Black builds on that memoir, taking us on a guided tour of the human skeleton and explaining how each person's life history is revealed in their bones.

In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought.

What won't we try in our quest for perfect health, beauty, and the fountain of youth? Well, just imagine a time when doctors prescribed morphine for crying infants. When liquefied gold was touted as immortality in a glass. And when strychnine - yes, that strychnine, the one used in rat poison - was dosed like Viagra. Looking back with fascination, horror, and not a little dash of dark, knowing humor, Quackery recounts the lively, at times unbelievable, history of medical misfires and malpractices.

My heart goes out to Denise and her entire family. I will never forget about her sweet James. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

Incredible story
I am the mother of a child who died accidentally. Denise’s story is the level worse of child loss. I was gripped by her emotion, fight, and love for her baby. This was well written and I felt her passion the entire story.

Hated to See It End
I felt like this story would be so hard to get through. And it was, don’t get me wrong. But the way Denise Fergus writes her story (and James’ story), and the way Siân Polhill-Thomas conveys all these emotions make it the kind of book you honestly hate to get to the end of. I wish James and his family could have had some real justice, because they certainly didn’t see any.

Definitely Worth the Audible Credit!
The choice of narrator to match the author's own accent gave this already intimate memoir of love and loss a truly authentic edge!
I was in early highschool when this tragedy occurred, with brothers one year older and one year younger than the killers. I couldn't wrap my young mind around how boys their age could do something so terribly violent to a baby. I still can't.
Denise did such an amazing job of bringing her murdered son to life through this book. We get to experience through her eyes the love she had for her rambunctious and sometimes mischievous boy, the devastation and panic of losing sight of him, and the weight of loss even as life moves forward with other children to follow. As an adult, I have momentarily lost sight of a child from time to time, and I cannot even begin to understand the sorrow and self blame that this woman has had to carry for the entirety of her life when her own moment ended so terribly.
So wonderful to see Denise turning that grief toward positive activism, which she details throughout the book. Know that by purchasing this book you are encouraging and supporting someone who truly deserves it! And may James' killers truly see justice someday!

Never forget
A heartwrenching book that gives insight into a mother's grief and a beautiful young life that was barbarically stolen. This book serves as both a memorial and an important reminder to look to the victims of violent crimes and put them at the forefront of our remembrances instead of catering to the false glory of the criminals. May the world be kept safe from the criminals who brutally murdered baby James and from other like monsters.
