  The story of John and Marlene Strege, their struggle with infertility, and how God orchestrated something much bigger than their own desire to have children.  From desperation to hope, A Snowflake Named Hannah tells the story of John and Marlene and their daughter Hannah, the first ever adopted frozen embryo.  John, by profession a syndicated sports writer, walks the reader through their life story from personal accounts and meticulous research - how they were a part of starting the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program, how they befriended Dr. James Dobson and ended up on his Christian radio program Family Talk, how they found themselves in the fight for preborn life in American Politics during the embryonic stem cell research debate, and how they ended up at the White House more than once during George W. Bush's administration.  John's no nonsense approach to telling their story is both personal and a piece of American political history. It tells their story of how their simple desire to have children, combined with their faith in God, lead them to experience and tell this amazing true-life story.

  107 Days is a powerful memoir about leadership, resilience, and transformation under pressure. In the wake of a historic turning point, a leader is thrust into the national spotlight with only 107 days to define a vision, build momentum, and confront forces determined to resist change. The story blends the urgency of politics with the universal lessons of productivity and focus. From campaign war rooms to rallies across the country, it captures both the chaos of high-stakes decision-making and the quiet discipline required to lead with clarity. More than a chronicle of events, this audiobook offers insight into how moments of crisis can sharpen purpose, how trust is built under fire, and how determination can turn scarcity of time into strength. For listeners, it is both a gripping narrative and a motivational guide to facing their own compressed timelines with courage and strategy.

  “As you read this blurb, you know you would never confess to a crime you didn’t commit. Read this compelling study and you’ll change your mind. Dr. Kassin lays bare the dirty tricks used by police to make innocents confess. And he describes, convincingly, what should be done to stop them.”– John Grisham, #1 New York Times-bestselling authorWritten by the world's leading expert on false confessions, this landmark book reveals the psychology behind why innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by the promises, threats, trickery, and deception of a police interrogation, are duped into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. Featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work done in tandem with the Innocence Project, and quotes from individuals who confessed to crimes they did not commit, Duped tells the story of how this happens, how the system turns a blind eye, and how to make it stop.Why do people confess to crimes they did not commit? And, surely, those cases must be rare? In fact, it happens all the time—in police stations, workplaces, public schools, and the military. Psychologist Saul Kassin, the world’s leading expert on false confessions, explains how interrogators trick innocent people into confessing, and then how the criminal justice system deludes us into believing these confessions.Duped reveals how innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by lawful weapons of psychological interrogation, are induced into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. By featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work by the Innocence Project, and quotes from real-life exonerees, Kassin tells the story of how false confessions happen, and how they corrupt forensics, witnesses, and other evidence, force guilty pleas, and follow defendants for their entire lives— even after they are exonerated by DNA.Starting in the 1980’s, Dr. Kassin pioneered the scientific study of interrogations and confessions. Since then, he has been on the forefront of research and advocacy for those wrongfully convicted by police-induced false confessions. Examining famous cases like the Central Park jogger case and Amanda Knox case, as well as stories of ordinary innocent people trapped into confession, Dr. Kassin exposes just how widespread this problem is. Concluding with actionable solutions and proposals for legislative reform, Duped shows why the stigma of confession persists and how we can reform the criminal justice system to make it stop.

  Bad Henry - The Murderous...

  Henry Louis Wallace terrorized Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 1992 to March 1994.  Wallace preyed on lower economic-class Black women between 17 and 35 years old. He knew most of his victims, some through his job at Taco Bell, and gained their trust with his friendly demeanor and gentle nature—concealing a monster fueled by drug abuse and rage against women.  A rarity in that he was an African American serial killer, his murderous rampage spurred controversy throughout the city. Community members accused local police of ignoring the murders because of the victims' race. Wallace attended the funerals of many of his victims and offered condolences to families. The ensuing investigation became the largest in North Carolina’s history.  Wallace was eventually found guilty and convicted of nine counts of murder, but he admitted to more killings while incarcerated; he is potentially responsible for anywhere from 20 to 90 deaths of Black women. Wallace continues to appeal and awaits his execution at Central Prison in Raleigh.  BAD HENRY: The Murderous Rampage of ‘The Taco Bell Strangler’ by Ron Chepesiuk offers valuable insight into the psychology of serial killers and sheds light on issues surrounding race and policing.
