  Wards of the State - The Long...

  Told through the stories of six former foster youth, a jolting exploration of a broken system from an award-winning journalist 
    
  By the time Maryanne was 16 years old, she had been arrested for murder. In and out of foster and adoptive homes since age 10, she’d run away, been trafficked and assaulted, and finally pointed a gun at the latest man to take her into his car. She pulled the trigger and fled. But with no family to turn to and few reliable friends, it didn’t take long for the police to catch up with her. 
    
  In court, the defense blamed neither traffickers, nor Maryanne, but Washington state itself—or rather, its foster care system, which parents thousands of children every year. The courts didn’t listen to that argument, but award-winning journalist Claudia Rowe did. Washington state isn’t alone, of course. Each year, hundreds of thousands of children grow up in America’s $30 billion foster care system, only to leave and enter its prisons, where a quarter of all inmates are former foster youth. 
    
  Weaving Maryanne’s story with those of five other foster kids across the country—including an 18-year-old sleeping on the New York City subways; a gangbanger-turned graduate student; and a foster child who is now a policy advisor to the White House—Rowe paints a visceral survival narrative showing exactly where, when, and how the system channels children into locked cells. Balanced with accounts from psychologists, advocates, judges, and foster parents, Wards of the State paves a road to reform by pulling back the curtain on our country’s longstanding foster care-to-prison pipeline and the searing realities faced by kids who may be sitting in classrooms next to your own children.

  What if humanity's most important invention wasn't the steam engine or the printing press, but a machine that you've never heard of, built by a man that history forgot? Eight billion people owe their lives to a man you've never heard of. In Forgotten, Jaime Dávila uncovers the astonishing true story of Cornelis Corneliszoon, a 16th-century Dutch tinkerer whose simple invention – the wind-powered sawmill – unleashed a chain reaction that built the modern world. Faster ships. Global trade. Stock markets. The Industrial Revolution. None of this would have happened without this single millwright's practical innovation. A rigorous, revelatory, and unflinchingly subversive challenge to our understanding of how the modern world was built, and a long-overdue correction of a historical injustice.
