Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for Columbia Journalism School’s J. Anthony Lukas Prize A Publishers Lunch NonFiction Buzz Book| Named Most Anticipated by Los Angeles Times A leading authority on sheriffs investigates the impunity with which they police their communities, alongside the troubling role they play in American life, law enforcement, and, increasingly, national politics. The figure of the American sheriff has loomed large in popular imagination, though given the outsize jurisdiction sheriffs have over people’s lives, the office of sheriffs remains a gravely under-examined institution. Locally elected, largely unaccountable, and difficult to remove, the country’s over three thousand sheriffs, mostly white men, wield immense power—making arrests, running county jails, enforcing evictions and immigration laws—with a quarter of all U.S. law enforcement officers reporting to them. In recent years there’s been a revival of “constitutional sheriffs,” who assert that their authority supersedes that of legislatures, courts, and even the president. They’ve protested federal mask and vaccine mandates and gun regulations, railed against police reforms, and, ultimately, declared themselves election police, with many endorsing the “Big Lie” of a stolen presidential election. They are embraced by far-right militia groups, white nationalists, the Claremont Institute, and former president Donald Trump, who sees them as allies in mass deportation and border policing. How did a group of law enforcement officers decide that they were “above the law?” What are the stakes for local and national politics, and for America as a multi-racial democracy? Blending investigative reporting, historical research, and political analysis, author Jessica Pishko takes us to the roots of why sheriffs have become a flashpoint in the current politics of toxic masculinity, guns, white supremacy, and rural resentment, and uncovers how sheriffs have effectively evaded accountability since the nation’s founding. A must-read for fans of Michelle Alexander, Gilbert King, Elizabeth Hinton, and Kathleen Belew.

Ellie Graber couldn't be happier working at Amish Charm Bakery—and making good on a precious chance to reunite with her Amish community. Grief over her mother's death made her rebel and try the Englischer world, but now she's home to start again. And quiet, thoughtful Joel Wenger is one of the few willing to understand her as their unexpected friendship develops into something more . . . But no matter how hard Ellie tries, Joel's mother refuses to approve of her—much less accept her as a potential daughter-in-law. As painful misunderstandings and a beautiful rival for Joel's affections threaten to drive them apart, Ellie and Joel wonder if they bridge the gap between them to secure a lifetime of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peanut Butter Memoirs: A (Sometimes) Satirical Story A (Sometimes) Cynical Story But (Always) a Human Story of the Journey to Becoming a Law Enforcement Officer in (Very) Rural Maine By: David Wilson So, the question remains, are police officers real people? Are they all born to be cops? Do they skip childhood and go straight into a blue uniform? Do they have families and friends? Do they make mistakes and some bad decisions along the way just like everyone else does? Do they choose plain glazed when the obvious choice is jelly cream-filled? The truth, my friends, is they’re real people just like you. Peanut Butter Memoirs is a true story about one person’s journey into becoming a law enforcement officer in northern Maine. It’s funny, sad, serious and real. Along the journey, author David Wilson experiences life and the unique people around him. He discovers that we’re not all born to be cops, and, in fact, for Wilson, it wasn’t his first career choice at all. The tales Wilson tells will show that whether the call for service was routinely mundane or life threatening, there’s a story in there somewhere with unique human characters answering the calls for service. The book is a true account, at times humorous and at times candidly serious, of one person’s personal journey. What you’ll discover by reading this book is that we’re all different, we’re all the same, we’re all human, and that police officers, rural or urban, are real people.

Book excerpt: “A gutsy success story” (The New York Times Book Review) about one tenacious woman’s journey to escape rural poverty and create a billion-dollar farming business—without ever leaving the land she loves The youngest of her parents’ combined twenty-one children, Sarah Frey grew up on a struggling farm in southern Illinois, often having to grow, catch, or hunt her own dinner alongside her brothers. She spent much of her early childhood dreaming of running away to the big city—or really anywhere with central heating. At fifteen, she moved out of her family home and started her own fresh produce delivery business with nothing more than an old pickup truck. Two years later, when the family farm faced inevitable foreclosure, Frey gave up on her dreams of escape, took over the farm, and created her own produce company. Refusing to play by traditional rules, at seventeen she began talking her way into suit-filled boardrooms, making deals with the nation’s largest retailers. Her early negotiations became so legendary that Harvard Business School published some of her deals as case studies, which have turned out to be favorites among its students. Today, her family-operated company, Frey Farms, has become one of America’s largest fresh produce growers and shippers, with farmland spread across seven states. Thanks to the millions of melons and pumpkins she sells annually, Frey has been dubbed “America’s Pumpkin Queen” by the national press. The Growing Season tells the inspiring story of how a scrappy rural childhood gave Frey the grit and resiliency to take risks that paid off in unexpected ways. Rather than leaving her community, she found adventure and opportunity in one of the most forgotten parts of our country. With fearlessness and creativity, she literally dug her destiny out of the dirt.

Book excerpt: Gods' Gold is a mystery about the discovery of alternative truths and how the characters chose to deal with those truths. The uncovering of ancient secrets is enlightenment for some, and for others, a reason to commit murder. In 1902, Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie discovered tons of white ash in the Sinai. Believing the ash to be ancient sacrifices or burnt offerings, he was unable to find traces of charred bones or burn marks on stones or in caves to support his theory. This begins the mystery of Petries white ash. Present day Iraq, Sergeant, Mitchell Harrington, an anthropologist in civilian life, is on a reconnaissance mission of a bombed out village. There he discovers buried jugs containing white ash he suspects to be part of Petries original discovery. After smuggling the ash out of Iraq, Harrington rekindles his relationship with Analisa Scotti, an adjunct professor and scientist at the University of Arizona. Analyzing the ash, Analisa determines the strange substance contains mysterious capabilities. Because of its anomalous properties, the ash becomes the obsession of an Arab emir, two brothers who are deserters from the Iraqi Police, an Italian arms dealer, and assassins hired by a Vatican official to destroy its legacy. Those struggling to claim the ash are brought together in a fiery conclusion. The mystery of Flinders Petries discovery of the ash, along with the ancient secret it possesses, is finally revealed. The secret of the white ash is so profound, it has the potential to alter history and challenge the long established paradigms of civilization.
