Story
Juleena always knew she wanted to go away to college; she just didn't know it would be in New York. That was until she met and fell in love with her boyfriend, Mooski, a few summers ago. Juleena knew she wanted to be close to him, so she applied to every college possible in the tri-state area just so she could be close to him. Ju's plan was to always attend NYU, so when she got accepted into Fordham University, she felt herself straying from her life's path. Juleena thought moving to New York would make her and Mooski closer. Instead, the two of them couldn't be further apart.

Story
Aida Rodriguez has, to put it mildly, lived a whirlwind life. Her rags-to-riches story is mind-blowing: She was kidnapped as a child by her mother in the Dominican Republic and brought to the US. She was later kidnapped again by her grandmother and uncle and moved from New York to Florida. As an adult, she ended a difficult marriage and endured homelessness with her children in Los Angeles. But through it all she never lost her sense of humor.

Looking at widowhood through the prism of race, mixed marriage, and aging, Black Widow redefines the stages of grief, from coffin shopping to day-drinking, to being a grown-ass woman crying for your mommy, to breaking up and making up with God....

Publisher's summary
Who shot the truth?
No, the truth is not dead! It may have been shot, wounded, bruised, paralyzed, and perhaps even put in a coma. But miraculously, it awakens someday and begins to remember every single detail of its journey.
I always knew I was suppose to write this book about my life. For every young girl and boy that lives within each of us, it is time to awaken the truth. “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair”, (as written by the late great Langston Hughes, poet) but it has taught me to be strong, molded me into resilience, nurtured me with compassion, girded me with determination, and branded me with courage. It has made me into the woman that I am still becoming, as growth is constant progress. Despite my environment, my circumstances, the hand of life that I was dealt, I have worked diligently over the past 40 years to change my perspective of the incidents that transpired in my life. How can I grow from trauma? How can I gain wisdom from pain? How can I recognize the beauty of it all?
As a child, I did not get to choose my family, I did not get to choose where or how I grew up. As an adult, although I do get to choose, I have not always made the right choices for my life as I was ill-equipped to do so. But today, I choose to have a voice and speak on behalf of those who were never given the opportunity.
My truth is not dead! It may have been shot, wounded, bruised, paralyzed, and lying dormant in a coma; but it is time for the truth to rise up and do some spiritual, emotional and mental rehabilitation. Now is the time to speak the truth. I have a voice and it deserves to be heard—and so do you!

Story
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.

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.

Story
In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. 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.

In this extraordinarily candid and revealing memoir, Knapp offers important insights not only about alcoholism, but about life itself and how we learn to cope with it.

Let Truth Be Told!
Natasha's determination to survive and then thrive in spite of all the negative and devastating experiences she endured is impressive.
I liked her willingness to share her story even during the moments when her language went past colorful and was really strong to convey the message Natasha was truthfully trying to share.

Story to Never Give Up
Natasha tells her story with language that helps you delve far into her world. As a child she faced serious and complex situations which any adult would find devastating. She shares how she learned to navigate her world and pull herself up to her higher self through, at times, pure determination and courage. She is no holds barred in sharing her most difficult challenges. This is a story of Hope and a message that with God’s help anything is possible for you too.

The Power of Transparency
What a powerful story and woman!!!
Natasha tells her story with such passion and strength. Her transparency will inspire so many women to face their fears and speak their truth, The light that God put in her is so vibrant and she refuses to let any life experience dull that light. Natasha is truly an example of “you will come out of the fire without the smell of smoke.” I pray God continue Ms to bless her in all that she does!!
