Synopsis

In "Locked Out: Elder Neglect and the Keys to Change," Candace Esham takes readers on a heart-wrenching journey through the hidden world of elder neglect in America's long-term care facilities. When her beloved grandmother dies from preventable neglect in an assisted living facility, Esham transforms her grief into a powerful force for change.
 
This eye-opening book exposes the systemic failures that leave our most vulnerable citizens at risk, detailing shocking incidents of neglect before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Esham's meticulous investigation into her grandmother's case reveals a broken system of oversight and accountability, where profits often trump patient care.
 
But "Locked Out" is more than an exposé—it's a roadmap for change. Esham shares her hard-won insights on building effective advocacy teams and navigating the complex world of policy-making. Her successful campaign to pass groundbreaking legislation in Delaware offers hope and practical strategies for readers seeking to make a difference.
 
This book is essential reading for seniors, their families, policy makers, and anyone concerned about the quality of elder care in America. Esham's powerful narrative and actionable advice will inspire and equip readers to become voices for the voiceless, ensuring that no more elders are "locked out" of the dignity and care they deserve.

    When it comes to politics, the journey from the ballot box to public office is often perceived as a noble path, driven by a desire to serve the public and make a positive impact on society. However, lurking behind the scenes is a darker side of politics, rife with corruption, crime, and their far-reaching consequences. From Ballots to Mugshots: A Study of Political Corruption, Crime, and Consequences in the U.S. peels back the curtain on the insidious world of political corruption, revealing its many forms and the mechanisms that enable it. 
     
    Delve deep into the world of financial crimes, such as bribery and embezzlement, and explore the abuse of power through coercion, nepotism, and manipulation. The book also examines moral failings, personal indiscretions, and high crimes like treason and espionage that have plagued American politics for centuries. The narrative carefully navigates the intricacies of the judicial process, detailing the path from investigation and indictment to trial, sentencing, and the aftermath of conviction.  
     
    Authoritative and meticulously researched, this book not only exposes the dark underbelly of American politics but also provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of corruption, from the role of lobbyists and campaign finance to the power of patronage. The book also examines the role of the media, ethics committees, and public vigilance in holding those in power accountable and preventing corruption. The aftermath of political corruption is thoroughly analyzed, detailing its political, social, and personal fallout, as well as the processes that follow a vacant seat and life after conviction. From Ballots to Mugshots also offers a glimmer of hope by discussing potential solutions and preventative measures that can be implemented to curb political corruption and its detrimental effects. This compelling read is essential for anyone interested in American politics, law, and social justice.

    A generational work with far-ranging social and political implications, White Poverty promises to be one of the most influential books in recent years. 
     
     
     
    One of the most pernicious and persistent myths in the United States is the association of Black skin with poverty. Though there are forty million more poor white people than Black people, most Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, continue to think of poverty—along with issues like welfare, unemployment, and food stamps—as solely a Black problem. Why is this so? What are the historical causes? And what are the political consequences that result? 
     
     
     
    These are among the questions that the Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II, a leading advocate for the rights of the poor and the "closest person we have to Dr. King" (Cornel West), addresses in White Poverty, a groundbreaking work that exposes a legacy of historical myths that continue to define both white and Black people, creating in the process what might seem like an insuperable divide. Analyzing what has changed since the 1930s, when the face of American poverty was white, Barber, along with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, addresses white poverty as a hugely neglected subject that just might provide the key to mitigating racism and bringing together tens of millions of working class and impoverished Americans.

    They say writing is rewriting. So why does the second part get such short shrift? Refuse to Be Done will guide you through every step of the novel writing process, from getting started on those first pages to the last tips for making your final draft even tighter and stronger. 
     
     
     
    From lauded writer and teacher Matt Bell, Refuse to Be Done is encouraging and intensely practical, focusing always on specific rewriting tasks, techniques, and activities for every stage of the process. You won't find bromides here about the "the writing Muse." Instead, Bell breaks down the writing process in three sections. In the first, Bell shares a bounty of tactics, all meant to push you through the initial conception and get words on the page. The second focuses on reworking the narrative through outlining, modeling, and rewriting. The third and final section offers a layered approach to polishing through a checklist of operations, breaking the daunting project of final revisions into many small, achievable tasks. 
     
     
      
    Whether you are a first time novelist or a veteran writer, you will find an abundance of strategies here to help motivate you and shake up your revision process, allowing you to approach your work, day after day and month after month, with fresh eyes and sharp new tools.
