  Inside this audiobook, Dexter talks about in the year of 2011 after a day of bloody riots inside of a Georgia prison during his 16th year of incarceration led a warden to ask him to do a drawing of a train showing men going from bad to good, and this inspired Dexter to change his life.  Also, inside this audio book Dexter explains in detail his experiences that we all go through at some point in life when we have to rise after we’ve taken a hard fall as a result of bad decisions that sometimes can be life-changing moments, or when life deals us a terrible hand that makes us stop and change directions from living a life of crime to forever living as a law-abiding citizen and productive member of society. However, there is only one way to do this and that’s to embrace the 3- golden rules found inside this audiobook. They have been tested and proven to be whole-heartedly true and a solid contributing factor to his forever freedom.

  From the 1910 disappearance of New York heiress Dorothy Arnold to the 1977 vanishing of teenager Simone Ridinger, author Brunelle details both famous and lesser-known cases that remain unsolved. Board a luxury liner with Agnes Tufverson as she embarks on a European honeymoon before her mysterious 1933 disappearance over the Atlantic; follow Jean Spangler to a famous 1940s Hollywood nightclub as she arrives for a clandestine meeting in a private booth. 
   
   
   
  Due to a strong belief that good girls didn't disappear, when authorities and family members were presented with missing women in the twentieth century, it was often assumed that they had simply ran away. Most investigations were funded by family members, and when women were found to be the victims of violent crime, they were faulted for placing themselves in dangerous situations. On the rare occasions when authorities investigated cases, they relied on interviews and cash trails in combination with rudimentary forensics such as blood typing and fingerprinting to find missing persons. For those reasons, many of the real stories from this time period have yet to be told. Featuring never-before-seen letters and documents, personal interviews, and genealogical research, alongside captivating storytelling, Brunelle delves deep into the lives of those who disappeared and the circumstances surrounding their cases.

  Aung San Suu Kyi: Politician...

  POLITICIAN • PRISONER • PARENT 
  A portrait of one of the most charismatic, but unknown, world leaders 
  Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and crusader for democracy 
  in Myanmar, is once again behind bars. Her resounding victory at the polls, and re-election to office as civilian head of state, were overturned by the February 2021 military coup – a move with ruinous consequences. 
  Aung San Suu Kyi has been here before. The first half of her political career was spent under house arrest. But this time she has been disappeared into prison in Naypyidaw, following an array of charges clearly calculated to keep her out of politics and out of sight for the rest of her life. This time she is caught in a zero-sum game. 
  Once deified by the international community for her advocacy of democracy and human rights, yet later vilified for her denial of the Burmese military’s genocidal campaign against the Rohingya, Aung San Suu Kyi’s image survives largely untarnished within Myanmar. Her supporters refer to her as ‘Amay Suu’ (Mother Suu). Heir to the political and spiritual legacy of her father, General Aung San, independence hero and martyr, she remains the lodestar of nationalist aspirations, and matriarch for a nation in distress. 
  This book tracks Aung San Suu Kyi’s transformation from daughter of a national hero to materfamilias of Myanmar, placing her firmly within the context of the Burmese Buddhist notions of nationhood and motherhood and explaining her continuing role as the figurehead of the nation’s struggles. The result is a unique portrait of a living legend, rendered by a compatriot and contemporary, the novelist Wendy Law-Yone. 
  POLITICIAN 
  Decades spent spearheading the fight for democracy in Myanmar – following her father Aung San’s legacy as founder of the modern Burmese nation. 
  PRISONER 
  Having already spent half 
  her political career under house arrest, in December 2022, Aung San Suu Kyi 
  was sentenced to 33 years 
  in prison. 
  PARENT 
  To her exiled family and 
  a nation. 
  Wendy Law-Yone's non-fiction biography of Aung San Suu Kyi offers a deep dive into the history of Southeast Asia. It's a top choice for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the 21st century's political climate. 
  For fans of Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Peter Frankopan (The First Crusade), Katja Hoyer (Beyond the Wall), Rory Stewart (The Places In Between), and Oliver Bullough (The Last Man in Russia).
