Chained Birds - A Crimemoir

Carla Conti

Chained Birds: A Crimemoir is an author-narrated studio production of Carla Conti's award-winning true crime memoir.

FROM THE BACK COVER
After three years in Europe, former journalist Carla Conti just wanted to settle her family into the suburbs of Philadelphia. But her high school friend Scott Powell, a lawyer handling a brutal prison stabbing case, needed a favor. Before she knew it, Carla became part of the defense team and was mired in the terrifying world of federal prison gangs, penal abuse, and corruption.

Then, when she agreed to write a tell-all book on the violent machinations behind the court case—with Scott’s client as an inside source—the stakes turned deadly. Two different prison gangs issued “hit orders” against the prisoner she and Scott now considered a friend, and the journalist and defense attorney were imperiled by association.

CHAINED BIRDS: A CRIMEMOIR is the story of Carla’s 10-year journey to advocate for federal inmate Kevin Sanders and help him re-enter society after prison. But the mission came at a cost as Carla struggled to balance her own, Scott’s, and Kevin’s safety while writing an exposé on the horrific conditions that led to the shutdown of an experimental prison program in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

Part investigative thriller, part raw memoir, CHAINED BIRDS is a gripping exposé of systemic injustice and a powerful reminder of the resilience it takes to uncover the truth.

A Matter of Survival

Lily Monadjemi

Starting in 1725, in a world where outwardly women were confined to Andaroons (hareems) and completely controlled by men, who had as many ‘wives’ as they wanted, Khatoon stands out as a highly influential member of the Royal Andaroon. It is through Khatoon’s eventful life that Lily Monadjemi, a great granddaughter of Nasser Al-Din shah Gajar who reigned in Iran for fifty years, begins this fascinating account of the history of her family, her people and her country. 
In a meticulous analysis of the women’s roles, she extensively covers the lives of her female ancestors who had immense influence on their husbands and through them, on Iranian society. 
Telling the fascinating history of this ancient society in personalized scenes through the centuries, Lily Monadjemi paints vivid pictures of the rises and falls of the various Shahs and their eventual downfall, giving way to the success of the 1979 Revolution and the retrograde steps of Ayatollah Khomaini and his Islamic Republic. 
Within this is woven her own history and how these events affected her life and that of her immediate family.
