  The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf. 
  Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. 
  As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us. 
  In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience. 
  This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.

  Outlaw Patients is a raw, darkly funny, and fiercely honest memoir about trying to survive in a system that wasn’t built to help. Medical marijuana patient and longtime activist Russell Barth takes listeners inside the chaotic, painful, often absurd world of Canadian cannabis policy — and the strange place where medicine, bureaucracy, and rebellion overlap. 
  Living with severe chronic pain, epilepsy in the family, and a medical system that seemed determined to say “no,” Russell and his wife Christine found themselves pushed into becoming accidental outlaws. Their fight for legal access, basic dignity, and the right to treat illness without fear became a years-long battle with doctors, regulators, cops, politicians, and the judgement of the public. 
  Told with razor-sharp wit, emotional precision, and an unshakeable refusal to sugarcoat anything, Outlaw Patients exposes the hypocrisy of a “compassionate” system that forces sick people to become legal experts, advocates, and sometimes fugitives just to get through the week. 
  This is a memoir about pain, love, stubbornness, activism, and the incredible cost of trying to stay alive in a world that keeps moving the goalposts. At turns heartbreaking, infuriating, and laugh-out-loud strange, it’s a story for anyone who’s ever been dismissed, underestimated, or pushed too far — and decided to push back.

  Haunting mysteries from America's Heartland
  Indiana rightly prides itself as a safe place to live. Nevertheless, the Hoosier State has experienced its share of unexplained deaths and unsolved disappearances. The state's oldest missing child case, the disappearance of four-year-old Richmond Byers from Seelyville in 1904, may never be solved. The 1998 attempted bombing of the Tippecanoe County Courthouse remains one of the only unsolved instances of domestic terrorism in the United States. The identities of Bedford's so-called Carnival Babies will likely forever be unknown. The 1929 murder of Elizabeth Miller may have been the result of the community's belief that she was a witch, but the true culprit has never been brought to light.
  Author of Unsolved Indiana Autumn Bones explores some of Indiana's least known unsolved mysteries.

  In April 1984, fourteen-year-old Foothill High freshman Tina Faelz took a shortcut on her walk home. About an hour later, she was found in a ditch, brutally stabbed to death. The murder shook the quiet East Bay suburb of Pleasanton and left investigators baffled.

  Through dusty police files, personal interviews, letters, and firsthand accounts, journalist Joshua Suchon revisits his childhood home to uncover the story of a shocking crime and the controversial sentencing that brought long-awaited answers to a tormented community.
