Resumen del Editor
In a poignant and powerful memoir, David takes us on a compelling journey through his childhood and adolescence in 1970s and 1980s Baltimore. Dear Mama: A Journey Through Poverty, Race, and Resilience is a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of his mother, who navigated the challenges of raising her children amidst poverty, racial discrimination, and personal turmoil.
Through vivid storytelling, David recounts the pivotal moments that shaped his life and his family's trajectory. From the early years marked by his father's betrayal and the subsequent struggle for survival, to the profound impact of relocating to a racially tense suburb, each chapter unfolds with raw honesty and emotional depth.
David's narrative is not just a recollection of past events but a reflection on the enduring strength, resilience, and sacrifices of his mother. He delves into the complexities of identity, the harsh realities of systemic racism, and the transformative power of education and community support.
Dear Mama is a story of survival, resilience, and the unyielding bond between a mother and her children. It is a testament to the power of love, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of a better life against all odds.
Join David as he pays homage to his mother's legacy, uncovering the profound lessons she imparted and the lasting impact of her unwavering dedication. This memoir is a tribute to all those who have faced adversity and emerged stronger, offering a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations to come.

In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Monster stories aren’t just meant to entertain. They’re meant to inform, even educate. Above all, they ask us to question our own humanity. Nowhere is this truer than in stories of serial killers. What are the origins of this monstrous archetype? Why are we so fascinated with such gruesome terror? What do they reveal about our fears and anxieties? Explore these and other questions in Serial Killers: Real and Imagined, where public scholar Emily Zarka looks at the serial-killer trope across history, from murky 17th-century legends to 21st-century true-crime obsessions.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.
