  The true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a Missouri teen and her family’s journey to justice. In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes. The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. A little before 7 a.m., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City’s east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road.By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.

  For decades, organizations have rewarded leaders for what they know. Intelligence, technical expertise, analytical thinking, and strategic decision making have been the currency of success. But in a world where artificial intelligence can process information faster than any human, knowledge alone is no longer enough. The future of leadership is human. In this thought provoking book, Roger Francis explores the powerful intersection of intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional quotient (EQ), revealing why the world’s most effective leaders don’t choose between logic and empathy they master both. Drawing from more than 25 years leading multi billion dollar organizations through transformation, growth, and operational excellence, Francis demonstrates that sustainable performance is built on a simple truth: organizations achieve extraordinary results when they combine disciplined execution with genuine human connection. Through practical frameworks, personal stories, and real world business examples, readers will discover how to: • Balance data driven decisions with emotional awareness. • Build cultures of trust without sacrificing accountability. • Lead organizations through uncertainty and change. • Inspire high performing teams in an AI-powered world. • Transform leadership from managing people to unleashing human potential. As AI increasingly amplifies our intellectual capabilities, emotional intelligence becomes the defining competitive advantage that technology cannot replace. The leaders who thrive won’t simply be the smartest in the room they’ll be the ones who understand people, create belonging, build resilience, and inspire others to achieve what no algorithm can. Whether you’re an executive, entrepreneur, manager, or aspiring leader, this book offers a compelling roadmap for leading with both your head and your heart. Because while AI may enhance intelligence, only humans can create trust, purpose, and lasting impact.

  During World War II, Michigan became a temporary home to six thousand German and Italian POWs. 
  At a time of homefront labor shortages, they picked fruit in Berrien County, harvested sugar beets in the Thumb, cut pulpwood in the Upper Peninsula, and maintained parks and other public spaces in Detroit. The work programs were not flawless and not all of the prisoners were cooperative, but many of the men established enduring friendships with their captors. Author Gregory Sumner tells the story of these detainees and the ordinary Americans who embodied our highest ideals, even amid a global war.
