  Covering murders and traffic fatalities to sexual violence and mass violence, Cherry exposes a system set up to fail trauma survivors and journalists. Why do some families endure a swell of unwanted attention after the murder of a loved one, while others suffer from a lack of attention? What is it like to have a microphone shoved in your face seconds after escaping the latest mass shooting? What is the lasting impact on the reporter holding that microphone? The Trauma Beat explores these issues with the raw, reflective detail of a journalist moving from ignorance to understanding and shame to healing.

  Sometimes comedic and sometimes deadly serious; the story is told by one of its major participants. Naive college students in the late 1960s, looking for excitement and adventure, smuggle kilos of marijuana on their backs over the Mexican border and into the United States. This memoir follows their lives, the cast of characters they meet along the way, and their smuggling adventures for the next two decades as their business ventures rise and fall and their escapades circle the globe, developing into a major criminal enterprise."November 1974: we were still ten days sail from our destination in Thailand where the four of us planned to load our 41-foot sailboat with a ton of the best marijuana on the face of the planet. This would be the largest single load of Thai sticks ever brought to the U.S. to date… if we made it home to California. However, we'd just survived a category four storm that had battered us and left all of our primary navigational equipment waterlogged and useless and us lost somewhere in the Sulu Sea. I figured that we may have been blown some 200 miles off course to the south and were now in some of the most notorious pirate infested waters in the world.
