Sinopse

In "Tragedy in America," former Louisville police officer Cory Evans delivers a raw, unflinching account of his journey from a humble childhood in Appalachia to becoming a dedicated soldier and police officer, only to see his career and life destroyed during the turbulent riots of 2020.
 
Evans takes readers through his experiences growing up in poverty in Eastern Kentucky, his military service in Afghanistan, and his time as a beat cop in Louisville's most dangerous neighborhoods. With unflinching honesty, he recounts the daily realities of modern policing—from life-saving interventions to split-second decisions that would later be scrutinized by media and politicians.
 
Everything changes during the summer of 2020, when Evans finds himself on the front lines of civil unrest. Following a controversial arrest during the riots, Evans becomes the target of federal prosecution, ultimately leading to his imprisonment. He argues that his case represents the weaponization of the justice system against law enforcement for political purposes.
 
Part memoir, part warning, Evans's narrative raises uncomfortable questions about the intersection of politics, justice, and public service in today's polarized America. Whether you agree with his perspective or not, his story offers a rarely-heard voice from inside the thin blue line during one of America's most divisive periods.
 
If you enjoyed "The War on Cops," "Bleeding Blue," and "The Warrior's Mind," you'll love "Tragedy in America."

    What would it take to walk away from your dream life in Monaco and a global, multi-million-dollar business? 
     
    Wind back the clock on any Australian or New Zealand woman in her thirties or forties today and you'd probably find a Triangl bikini tucked away in her swimwear drawer. The uniquely neoprene, colour-blocked bikinis were the summer accessory season after season. Yet as customers snapped selfies at the beach, one woman was holed up in a smog-filled Hong Kong apartment, living on canned soup, battling twenty-hour days and debilitating depression, trying to make it all happen. 
     
    Hanging by a Thread takes a vulnerable deep dive into success and the challenge of caring for your mental health while in pursuit of your dreams. From getting scammed out of $50,000, trying to illegally cross the border into China, meeting with elite private equity firms with a three-month-old baby in tow and even experiencing the Kardashian-Jenner-kiss-of-death, Hanging By A Thread shares what it was really like behind the closed doors of one of Australia's young start-up success stories, and to be a woman on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

    Narrated by Brianna Madia 
    In this beautifully written, vividly detailed memoir, a young woman chronicles her adventures traveling across the deserts of the American West in an orange van named Bertha and reflects on an unconventional approach to life 
    A woman defined by motion, Brianna Madia bought a beat-up bright orange van, filled it with her two dogs Bucket and Dagwood, and headed into the canyons of Utah with her husband. Nowhere for Very Long is her deeply felt, immaculately told story of exploration—of the world outside and the spirit within. 
    However, pursuing a life of intention isn’t always what it seems. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, and even desperate—when Bertha overheated and she was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of South Dakota highway; when the weather was bitterly cold and her water jugs froze beneath her as she slept in the parking lot of her office; when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future. But Brianna was committed to living a life true to herself, come what may, and that made all the difference. 
    Nowhere for Very Long is the true story of a woman learning and unlearning, from backroads to breakdowns, from married to solo, and finally, from lost to found to lost again . . . this time, on purpose.
