Franklin Delano Roosevelt: His...

Liam Dale

The early years of World War II saw Nazi Germany dominate Europe, but by the end of 1941, as Adolf Hitler continued to build his Empire, events in the Pacific took on their own momentum as Imperial Japan and America became locked in battle after the bombing of the US Naval Fleet at Pearl Harbor. 
 
As the smoke and flames rose from Pearl, America and its President, Franklin D Roosevelt, could no longer remain on the sidelines of the war that had been waging in Europe for over two years, and on December 7th, 1941, the hostilities were transformed into a global conflict. This would mark the beginning of a new chapter in the Second World War where the Americans joined the fight for what Roosevelt had laid out as the Four Freedoms. 
 
The first was Freedom of Speech, the second, Freedom of Religion and Expression, the third Freedom from Want, and last but by no means least, the fourth was Freedom from Fear. The story of how the nation, which so treasured its neutrality and had gone to such great lengths to avoid fighting on foreign soil, joined the war, will follow in the footsteps of Roosevelt, the man responsible for the American Dream.

Glitter Saints - The Cosmic Art...

Robin Brown, Jess Brasher

My parents both left this planet covered in glitter. Death came for each of them right in the middle of what they were working on. As I held and kissed them for the last time, patches of glitter transferred to my hands and face like tiny passed torches. For as much as the grief burned, there was no getting around it—the light that had been on them was now on me.In the grand scope of things, glitter may not seem like much. But in a way, it’s everything: a responsibility to infinity, to reflect the spark at the heart of it all.                                                                                         —Robin BrownThe first book to quilt the spirit of a wildly successful international clothing brand among the scraps of childhood trauma, Glitter Saints is the story of Robin Brown, creator of Magnolia Pearl. It’s a mining of tragedy for the kind of magic that creates and sustains - a sharp-eyed, soft-hearted, stubborn hope that’s the rarest raw material.

Lou and JonBenét - A Legendary...

John Wesley Anderson

THE STORY OF LOU SMIT, THE DEDICATED HOMICIDE DETECTIVE FEATURED IN THE GRIPPING NEW THREE-PART NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY: COLD CASE: WHO KILLED JONBENÉT RAMSEY? On Christmas night in 1996, the brutal murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey shocked the nation. Found dead in her family's Boulder, Colorado home, JonBenét's body was discovered in the basement, with a broken skull and strangled by a garrote. A ransom note left in the home added to the confusion, but the truth would prove even more elusive. As the case unfolded, the media swarmed and speculation ran rampant. JonBenét’s status as a child beauty queen only fueled the fire, with many focusing on her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, as the primary suspects. However, the case took an unexpected turn when Boulder District Attorney's office brought in legendary homicide detective Lou Smit. Smit, known for his unyielding pursuit of the truth, quickly grew disillusioned with the Boulder police’s focus on the Ramsey family. He believed that vital evidence pointing away from the parents was being ignored. Resigning from his official role, Smit chose to continue his investigation privately, using his own resources, determined to find justice for JonBenét. Smit’s findings would change the direction of the investigation. He was convinced the Ramsey family had no involvement, but tragically passed away in 2010, just before he could solve the case. Now, in Lou and JonBenét, Smit’s longtime friend and colleague, John Anderson, reveals the story behind Smit’s tireless investigation and the profound legacy he left behind. Drawing on Smit’s extensive work, Anderson and the detective’s family and colleagues believe the elusive killer can finally be identified, bringing justice to a case that has haunted the nation for nearly three decades. This book offers a compelling, behind-the-scenes look at one of America’s most infamous unsolved murders, providing new insights into the case and honoring the unwavering dedication of Lou Smit, the legendary detective who refused to give up.
