  "Sweetie, I'm home." I tried to put as much kindness into my voice as possible. I didn't want to have another argument - at least not right away. 
  Silence. 
  "Sweetheart?" 
  A gunshot echoed from our bedroom, followed by the sound of a bullet casing skipping along a wall. 
  Everything slowed down. 
  *** 
  When a life is destroyed, when guilt says you played a role in its destruction, how do you face the days ahead? Twenty-six-year-old Abel Keogh chooses to ignore the promptings he receives concerning his wife's mental illness, and now he feels he is to blame for her choices. If only he had listened . . . 
  At some point in our lives, each of us face devastating afflictions and must eventually cope with loss. Regardless of how it happens, the outcome is still the same - we are left isolated, alone, wondering what we could have done differently, and where we can turn for peace. This is Abel's story of love and loss in his own words. His search for peace and the miracle that follows is proof that love and hope can endure, despite the struggles and tragedies that shape each of our lives.

  A Country Called Prison - Mass...

  In the first edition of A Country Called Prison, Mary Looman and John Carl presented persuasive data calling for downsizing of America's prisons. Their novel approach continues in their second edition, shifting the beliefs many people have about prisons and their role in the American society. Since the original edition was published, the landscape of incarceration has been changing. 
   
   
   
  In their second edition, Carl and Looman discuss the significant world events, such as the COVID epidemic, that impacted the American society in the past decade, which lead to an overall twenty percent reduction in prison populations across the board. The second edition includes a new chapter covering the history of prisons that clearly establishes the fact that prisons have always been about making money and less about rehabilitating offenders. They also introduce the new era of decarceration and desistance, encouraging courts to defer sentences and keep minor offenders at home with their families and in their communities while they work, attend education classes, and receive mental health treatment. Once again Carl and Looman end their book with a rational and daring proposal—Marshall Plan 2024—that envisions a way to bring the criminal justice system into the twenty-first century focusing on social equity and humane compassion for those who want to emigrate out.

  Fred, the patriarch and visionary behind the Koch brothers' legacy, blazed a trail in the oil industry. In 1925, his foresight led him to acquire a one-third stake in a Wichita engineering firm, a pivotal move that laid the foundation for the eventual behemoth, Koch Industries. From these modest beginnings, Fred's entrepreneurial spirit set the stage for a family saga marked by astounding success, familial discord, and a profound impact on the American political landscape. 
  The year 1933 witnessed the union of Fred and Mary Koch, marking the commencement of their familial odyssey. The arrival of their firstborn, Frederick, in 1934, was followed by the birth of Charles in 1935. The family's expansion continued in 1940 with the arrival of fraternal twins, David and Bill, completing the Koch family circle. These formative years were crucial in shaping the dynamics that would later shape the Koch brothers' relationships and individual trajectories. 
  Despite the burgeoning success of Fred's investments, he was steadfast in his resolve not to raise entitled children. Financial lessons were woven into their upbringing, with the children receiving only a modest allowance for completing household chores. Luxuries deemed unnecessary, such as television, were intentionally excluded from their lives. This deliberate approach aimed to instill in them a strong work ethic, rooted in humility, that would serve as the cornerstone of their future endeavors. 
  Fred's commitment to molding resilient individuals was further underscored by his emphasis on manual labor and impromptu history lessons at the family dinner table. Through these unconventional but impactful methods, he sought to impart a broader understanding of the world to his children, transcending the traditional bounds of formal education.
