  Sarah’s Oil Secret - The Untold...

  Roberts R. Kevin

  At just ten years old, Sarah Rector became one of the wealthiest children in the United States—not through inheritance, but from land once considered worthless until oil was discovered beneath it.
   
  What should have secured her future instead placed her at the center of a legal struggle that exposed how power operates when wealth, race, and childhood collide.
   
  Sarah’s Oil Secret uncovers the hidden story behind her sudden rise to wealth and the system that moved quickly to control it. Set in early twentieth-century America, the book shows how courts, guardians, and officials intervened in her life—not through force, but through law.
   
  Drawing on historical records and court proceedings, it examines what happened once her fortune became impossible to ignore. Decisions were made in her name without her voice, as authority was exercised under the promise of protection while control tightened over her life.
   
  This is not the story of a single individual, but of a system functioning as designed—one that treated a Black child’s wealth as something to manage rather than protect. Through careful analysis and human-centered storytelling, the book reveals how legal structures, racial assumptions, and silence reshaped her future.
   
  More than a biography, it explores how innocence can be placed on trial without entering a courtroom, raising questions about guardianship, justice, and the gap between legality and morality.
   
  This is a powerful true story of wealth that invited control, law that concealed harm, and a legacy that continues to reflect how power is handled in America.

  Waiting on God and trusting him in the process is one of the hardest things for any believer. 
  In this six-session audio Bible study, the authors of The Rock, The Road, and the Rabbi Kathie Lee Gifford and Rabbi Jason Sobel will take you back to the Holy Land where God made his covenant with people like Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Joshua, and Mary. You'll study their stories and how God delivered on the promises he made to each of them. 
  Throughout Scripture, we see God weaving his plan through the lives of people who had to step out in faith long before they understood what their Creator was up to. Their questions then are ours today: How can we learn to trust in God's timing and God's methods? 
  The God of the How and When (part 1 of The God of the Way Study Series) will show you how God is still building his Kingdom through the lives of the followers of Jesus—and how you're a part of this amazing story.

  Inside the Mind of the Yorkshire...

  Chris Clark, Tim Hicks

  The fullest possible account of the crimes of Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, including those he was not charged with and has never previously been connected to. 
  The police believed Sutcliffe was operating only in the Greater Manchester Police, South Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police force areas, using his car. In fact, Sutcliffe was operating nationally and internationally, using his employer’s lorry to commit attacks. Authors Chris Clark and Tim Hicks have meticulously researched Sutcliffe’s crimes and reveal many of his previously unknown victims for the first time. 
  The police failed to deliver justice for the victims’ families, and the media has failed to hold the police to account for this failure – both in the original investigation and in subsequent cold-case investigations. 
  The authors hope that by bringing more of the facts of the case into the public domain and by telling the victims’ stories, they can help to bring closure for friends and relatives of victims of the Yorkshire Ripper.
