The murder of the Romanov family in July 1918 horrified the world and its aftershocks still reverberate today. In Putin's autocratic Russia, the Revolution itself is considered a crime and its one hundredth anniversary was largely ignored. In stark contrast, the centenary of the massacre of the Imperial Family will be a huge ceremony attended by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. While the murder itself has received major attention, what has never been investigated in detail are the various plots behind the scenes to save the family--on the part of their royal relatives, other governments, and Russian monarchists loyal to the Tsar. Rappaport refutes the accusation that the fault lies entirely with King George V, as has been the traditional claim for the last century. The responsibility for failing the Romanovs must be equally shared. The question of asylum for the Tsar and his family was an extremely complicated issue that presented enormous political, logistical and geographical challenges at a time when Europe was still at war. Like a modern-day detective, Helen Rappaport draws on new and never-before-seen sources from archives in the United States, Russia, Spain ,and the United Kingdom, creating a powerful account of near misses and close calls with a heartbreaking conclusion. With its up-to-the-minute research, The Race to Save the Romanovs is sure to replace outdated classics as the final word on the fate of the Romanovs\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6p157en4z1j0k6jparp25v.jpg?v=5b35880d25","L?O3^HWBkCt7~qofkCWBD%j[jZj[",2018,"5.00",1,400,[113],{"id":114,"slug":115,"name":116},"01kp7nctk2ryhpjtmwszpre5z1","helen-rappaport-r6iu","Helen Rappaport",[118,119,123,124],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":16},55,"World War I","world-war-i",{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":17},88,"Biography","biography",[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":130,"themes":132,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,90,131],"melancholic",[],{"id":134,"slug":135,"title":136,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":137,"cover_blurhash":138,"first_publish_year":139,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":140,"authors":141,"genres":154,"series":161,"enrichment":162},"01kv327ka701t1f2wanpecraf5","eta-icqe","ETA","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kv327kav20yxyfxnvg9y954v.jpg?v=7214e00510","L39Z};4o0L.8~VRjE1WC00?b-:D%",2001,60,[142,146,150],{"id":143,"slug":144,"name":145},"01kv327kagm03handpvxztbdkh","yonah-alexander-voii","Yonah Alexander",{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},"01kv327kaqe86x3sxyyej42fgy","michael-s-swetnam-m6vt","Michael S.

London was still recovering from the devastation of World War II when another disaster hit: for five long days in December 1952, a killer smog held the city firmly in its grip and refused to let go. Day became night, mass transit ground to a halt, criminals roamed the streets, and some 12,000 people died from the poisonous air. But in the chaotic aftermath, another killer was stalking the streets, using the fog as a cloak for his crimes. All across London, women were going missing—poor women, forgotten women. Their disappearances caused little alarm, but each of them had one thing in common: they had the misfortune of meeting a quiet, unassuming man, John Reginald Christie, who invited them back to his decrepit Notting Hill flat during that dark winter. They never left. The eventual arrest of the \"Beast of Rillington Place\" caused a media frenzy: were there more bodies buried in the walls, under the floorboards, in the back garden of this house of horrors? Was it the fog that had caused Christie to suddenly snap? And what role had he played in the notorious double murder that had happened in that same apartment building not three years before—a murder for which another, possibly innocent, man was sent to the gallows? The Great Smog of 1952 remains the deadliest air pollution disaster in world history, and John Reginald Christie is still one of the most unfathomable serial killers of modern times. Journalist Kate Winkler Dawson braids these strands together into a taut, compulsively readable true crime thriller about a man who changed the fate of the death penalty in the UK, and an environmental catastrophe with implications that still echo today.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx269xw9w37aj4phxahe1rb6.jpg?v=63645dcfc4","LrJ[Cs%Lt7of~qt6RjWBD%ayWBWB",329,[266],{"id":267,"slug":268,"name":269},"01kx269xw5a0knpaqhhzbztbxp","kate-winkler-dawson-mptt","Kate Winkler Dawson",[271,272],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":163,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":275,"themes":276,"setting_period":7,"summary":261,"content_warnings":7},[90,89,255],[],{"id":278,"slug":279,"title":280,"description":281,"primary_cover_url":282,"cover_blurhash":283,"first_publish_year":284,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":285,"authors":286,"genres":291,"series":303,"enrichment":304},"01kx24ty5x3bbkyn2efjcrncca","we-keep-the-dead-close-t26i","We Keep the Dead Close","FINALIST FOR THE J.

You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",2020,506,[287],{"id":288,"slug":289,"name":290},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[292,293,294,298,299],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":17},{"id":295,"name":296,"slug":297,"is_fiction":17},79,"Education","education",{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":300,"name":301,"slug":302,"is_fiction":17},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":305,"themes":306,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,90,195],[307],"mystery-box",{"id":309,"slug":310,"title":311,"description":312,"primary_cover_url":313,"cover_blurhash":314,"first_publish_year":315,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":316,"authors":317,"genres":322,"series":327,"enrichment":328},"01kx24qp6r6fzmdtkdh730cfgm","the-man-who-played-with-fire-stieg-larssons-lost-files-and-the-hunt-for-an-assassin-p2d4","The Man who Played with Fire Stieg Larsson's Lost Files and the Hunt for an Assassin","\"A fascinating 'creative nonfiction' account of the greatest unsolved mystery in Swedish history.\" --Wall Street Journal \"It's more than just a thrilling book...There's a lot of evidence that points to an international conspiracy.\" --CBS This Morning Saturday The author of the Millennium novels laid out the clues. Now a journalist is following them. When Stieg Larsson died, the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had been working on a true mystery that out-twisted his Millennium novels: the assassination on February 28, 1986, of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister. It was the first time in history that a head of state had been murdered without a clue who'd done it--and on a Stockholm street at point-blank range. Internationally known for his fictional villains, Larsson was well acquainted with their real-life counterparts and documented extremist activities throughout the world. For years he'd been amassing evidence that linked their terrorist acts to what he called \"one of the most astounding murder cases\" he'd ever covered. Larsson's archive was forgotten until journalist Jan Stocklassa was given exclusive access to the author's secret project. In The Man Who Played with Fire, Stocklassa collects the pieces of Larsson's true-crime puzzle to follow the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy begun by one of the world's most famous thriller writers. Together they set out to solve a mystery that no one else could.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24qp74ghhkeb2y0q5hd7zr.jpg?v=e13a6d24d3","L58;Y[tS0MWB{c-pJ8RjHYsmtRt6",2019,488,[318],{"id":319,"slug":320,"name":321},"01kx24qp70y5yfa0qj3kp7pkhq","jan-stocklassa-pbwk","Jan Stocklassa",[323,324,325,326],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":17},{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":17},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":163,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":329,"themes":330,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[255,89],[],{"id":332,"slug":333,"title":334,"description":335,"primary_cover_url":336,"cover_blurhash":337,"first_publish_year":338,"community_rating_avg":339,"community_rating_count":78,"page_count":340,"authors":341,"genres":346,"series":375,"enrichment":376},"01kjq7eyj52mbckbdar8rqvqsv","romeo-and-juliet-nsnd","Romeo and Juliet","In the streets of Verona, two great households — the Montagues and the Capulets — are locked in an ancient, bitter feud that erupts into violence at the slightest provocation. Into this poisoned world come Romeo, a lovesick Montague, and Juliet, the Capulets' cherished young daughter, who meet at a masked ball and fall instantly, helplessly in love.\n\nMarried in secret by a well-meaning friar who hopes their union might heal the rift between the families, the young lovers find their happiness colliding with the violence around them. A single fatal brawl sends events spiraling beyond anyone's control, and a desperate plan to keep them together sets in motion one of literature's most famous tragedies.\n\nWilliam Shakespeare's tragedy of \"star-crossed lovers\" remains the definitive story of young love thwarted by hatred, chance, and haste — a play whose language, characters, and heartbreak have shaped how the Western world imagines romance for more than four centuries.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6s5j7x45h1rw02tte2mvz.jpg","LdJHgSf6xtoe~VWCV@ay?aayRjfj",1949,"4.00",107,[342],{"id":343,"slug":344,"name":345},"01kjq7eyjb5ehy0zsfypwhbrqj","william-shakespeare-ys9o","William Shakespeare",[347,351,352,356,360,364,368,371],{"id":348,"name":349,"slug":350,"is_fiction":16},14,"Plays","plays",{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":353,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":17},92,"Science","science",{"id":357,"name":358,"slug":359,"is_fiction":16},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":361,"name":362,"slug":363,"is_fiction":16},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":365,"name":366,"slug":367,"is_fiction":16},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":86,"name":369,"slug":370,"is_fiction":16},"Romance","romance",{"id":372,"name":373,"slug":374,"is_fiction":16},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",[],{"pace":163,"complexity":7,"audience":377,"mood":378,"themes":380,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[379,131],"romantic",[381,382],"forbidden-love","betrayal",{"id":384,"slug":385,"title":386,"description":387,"primary_cover_url":388,"cover_blurhash":389,"first_publish_year":390,"community_rating_avg":391,"community_rating_count":392,"page_count":393,"authors":394,"genres":399,"series":412,"enrichment":413},"01kjq7sa2nzt8x6wgmy2asmet0","crime-and-punishment-km6m","Crime and Punishment","Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) is one of the towering achievements of Russian literature — a claustrophobic psychological drama set in the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg.\n\nRodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student, has convinced himself that certain extraordinary men stand above conventional morality and are permitted to commit crimes in service of a greater good.

As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",368,[464],{"id":465,"slug":466,"name":467},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[469,470,474,475],{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":471,"name":472,"slug":473,"is_fiction":17},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":17},{"id":300,"name":301,"slug":302,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":478,"themes":479,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[195,91],[],{"id":481,"slug":482,"title":483,"description":484,"primary_cover_url":485,"cover_blurhash":486,"first_publish_year":487,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":7,"authors":488,"genres":493,"series":499,"enrichment":500},"01kkxd9a23g1w6fw35zd3py3xh","my-watch-3efr","My Watch","Explore the remarkable life of Olusegun Obasanjo, a key figure in Nigeria's political landscape.

As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the \"Angel of Death\" who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler's brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel \"Butcher of Lyon\"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled \"Nazi hunters.\" This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader.

We habitually think of the European past as the history of countries which exist today - France, Germany, Britain, Russia and so on - but often this actually obstructs our view of the past, and blunts our sensitivity to the ever-changing political landscape. Europe's history is littered with kingdoms, duchies, empires and republics which have now disappeared but which were once fixtures on the map of their age - 'the Empire of Aragon' which once dominated the western Mediterranean; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for a time the largest country in Europe; the successive kingdoms (and one duchy) of Burgundy, much of whose history is now half-remembered - or half-forgotten - at best. This book shows the reader how to peer through the cracks of mainstream history writing and listen to the echoes of lost realms across the centuries. How many British people know that Glasgow was founded by the Welsh in a period when neither England nor Scotland existed? How many of us will remember the former Soviet Union in a few generations' time? Will our own United Kingdom become a distant memory too? As in his earlier celebrated books Europe: a history and The Isles, Norman Davies aims to subvert our established view of what seems familiar, and urges us to look and think again. This stimulating surprising book, full of unexpected stories, observations and connections, gives us a fresh and original perspective on the history of Europe. -- Product Description.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nygmmx7q6nj6f9hecehpt.jpg?v=8364edc35a","LhJbdCs,%LRk?wjrjZt7ITofWBog",2011,672,[565],{"id":566,"slug":567,"name":568},"01kx6nygmjg03sqqgca3pa3m3x","norman-jordan-davies-2ro5","Norman Jordan Davies",[570,571],{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":574,"themes":575,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[524,195],[],{"key":577,"params":578,"works":579},"genre_mood",{"genre":31,"mood":89},[580,608,632,658,679,703],{"id":581,"slug":582,"title":583,"description":584,"primary_cover_url":585,"cover_blurhash":586,"first_publish_year":587,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":588,"authors":589,"genres":594,"series":604,"enrichment":605},"01kjv3phk4vy4k33pch421pttw","my-friend-dahmer-gzkc","My Friend Dahmer","My Friend Dahmer is Derf Backderf's graphic memoir recounting his teenage friendship with Jeffrey Dahmer before he became one of America's most notorious serial killers.

It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone—not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers—could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Spurred by a public outcry, the federal government launched an epic two-year manhunt for the site’s elusive proprietor, with no leads, no witnesses, and no clear jurisdiction. All the investigators knew was that whoever was running the site called himself the Dread Pirate Roberts. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into $1.2 billion enterprise, and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin. He enlisted a loyal crew of allies in high and low places, all as addicted to the danger and thrill of running an illegal marketplace as their customers were to the heroin they sold. Through his network he got wind of the target on his back and took drastic steps to protect himself—including ordering a hit on a former employee. As Ross made plans to disappear forever, the Feds raced against the clock to catch a man they weren’t sure even existed, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global Internet. Drawing on exclusive access to key players and two billion digital words and images Ross left behind, Vanity Fair correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Nick Bilton offers a tale filled with twists and turns, lucky breaks and unbelievable close calls. It’s a story of the boy next door’s ambition gone criminal, spurred on by the clash between the new world of libertarian-leaning, anonymous, decentralized Web advocates and the old world of government control, order, and the rule of law. Filled with unforgettable characters and capped by an astonishing climax, American Kingpin might be dismissed as too outrageous for fiction. But it’s all too real.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzrd4fdy9d4mbrsvxebr5x8.jpg?v=99ed8675ad","LhI4hf_3-;IU?^?bx]M{S~xtRjRk",333,[617],{"id":618,"slug":619,"name":620},"01kns2hzyhvdmcr20exrvaxt6y","nick-bilton-cd5p","Nick Bilton",[622,623],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":624,"name":625,"slug":626,"is_fiction":17},81,"Technology","technology",[],{"pace":163,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":629,"themes":631,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,630],"gritty",[],{"id":633,"slug":634,"title":635,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":636,"cover_blurhash":637,"first_publish_year":139,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":638,"authors":639,"genres":648,"series":654,"enrichment":655},"01kx2db7cfpbf7fhzve8p6rgbs","cases-that-haunt-us-lql3","Cases That Haunt Us","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2db7d00deq9ywymhdcttv2.jpg?v=b9da6c002d","LFFYcK~X4nIT?Js*abbc4TITxbx]",432,[640,644],{"id":641,"slug":642,"name":643},"01kjt6x9jcwdz4n67vrg6bxjsy","john-douglas-94sr","John Douglas",{"id":645,"slug":646,"name":647},"01kjrb09gxbpb0tje2jprg35p1","mark-olshaker-ip54","Mark Olshaker",[649,650],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":651,"name":652,"slug":653,"is_fiction":17},96,"Psychology","psychology",[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":656,"themes":657,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[90,89,524],[],{"id":659,"slug":660,"title":661,"description":662,"primary_cover_url":663,"cover_blurhash":664,"first_publish_year":665,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":666,"authors":667,"genres":672,"series":675,"enrichment":676},"01kx2af2eqy4tdy5h1d8b5q8ft","tell-me-everything-tjwm","Tell Me Everything","A true crime writer and former private investigator recounts the chilling real story of her investigation into a decades-old kidnapping, uncovering secrets buried for years.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2af2f8mzc3fy09nx2cs91t.jpg?v=481a3c05e0","LAG8DuVZ00.RX9oeobo33mOX{NrY",2022,288,[668],{"id":669,"slug":670,"name":671},"01kx2af2f3yqsqdkgqrysexcsh","erika-krouse-5oq8","Erika Krouse",[673,674],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":163,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":677,"themes":678,"setting_period":7,"summary":662,"content_warnings":7},[90,89],[],{"id":680,"slug":681,"title":682,"description":683,"primary_cover_url":684,"cover_blurhash":685,"first_publish_year":284,"community_rating_avg":533,"community_rating_count":110,"page_count":111,"authors":686,"genres":691,"series":699,"enrichment":700},"01kx27x0zfy7717e25mtdap2qb","notes-on-a-silencing-su72","Notes on a Silencing","\"When the elite St. Paul's School came under state investigation after extensive reports of sexual abuse on campus, Lacy Crawford thought she'd put behind her the assault she'd suffered decades before, when she was fifteen. Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society. An insightful, mature, beautifully written memoir, Notes on a Silencing is an arresting coming-of-age story that wrestles with an essential question for our time: what telling of a survivor's story will finally force a remedy?\" --","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27x101a6ywejp2trpeyt23.jpg?v=195a73f9bc","LEBp5w_0Ipt6~n?FxDs.^%t7D+Rk",[687],{"id":688,"slug":689,"name":690},"01kx27x0zrw9wv52302kf5f000","lacy-crawford-9d4g","Lacy Crawford",[692,696,697,698],{"id":693,"name":694,"slug":695,"is_fiction":17},89,"Memoir","memoir",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":17},{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":414,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":701,"themes":702,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[90,91,89],[],{"id":704,"slug":705,"title":706,"description":707,"primary_cover_url":708,"cover_blurhash":709,"first_publish_year":710,"community_rating_avg":109,"community_rating_count":110,"page_count":462,"authors":711,"genres":716,"series":719,"enrichment":720},"01kx2ht3dy9rbzsbhkas4sm0hc","if-i-am-missing-or-dead-r21c","If I Am Missing or Dead","In April 2002, Janine Latus' younger sister, Amy, taped a note to the inside of her desk at work.

As featured in When They See Us—the Netflix limited series created, written, and directed by Ava DuVernay that retells the story of the Central Park Five, the young men wrongly accused of this crime. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours later she arrives at the emergency room—comatose—she has lost so much blood that her doctors believe it’s a miracle she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery. Called “Hero of the Month” by Glamour magazine, Meili tells us who she was before the attack—a young Wall Street professional with a promising future—and who she has become: a woman who learned how to read, write, walk, talk, and love again...and turn horrifying violence and certain death into extraordinary healing and victorious life.

His crimes were horrific, and he paid the ultimate price for them. When journalist Martha Elliott first heard of Ross, she learned what the world knew of him-- that he had been a master at hiding in plain sight. Elliott, a staunch critic of the death penalty, was drawn to the case when the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned Ross's six death sentences. Rather than fight for his life, Ross requested that he be executed because he didn't want the families of his victims to suffer through a new trial. Elliott was intrigued and sought an interview. The two began a weekly conversation--that developed into an odd form of friendship--that lasted over a decade, until Ross's last moments on earth. Over the course of his twenty years in prison, Ross had come to embrace faith for the first time in his life. He had also undergone extensive medical treatment. The Michael Ross whom Elliott knew seemed to be a different man from the monster who was capable of such heinous crimes.

On a fateful day in February 2002, campaign manager Clara Rojas accompanied longtime friend and presidential hopeful Ingrid Betancourt into an area controlled by the powerful leftist guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Armed with machine guns and grenades, the FARC took them hostage and kept them in the jungle for the next six years. After more than two years of captivity deep in the Colombian jungle, surrounded by jaguars, snakes, and tarantulas, miles from any town or hospital, Clara Rojas prepared to give birth in a muddy tent surrounded by heavily armed guerrillas. Her captors promised that a doctor would be brought to the camp to help her. But when Rojas went into labor and began to suffer complications, the only person on hand was a guerrilla wielding a kitchen knife. The guerrillas drugged Rojas with anesthetic while one of them slit open her abdomen. Her son, Emmanuel, was born by amateur cesarean section in April 2004. His survival was miraculous, but her joy was soon cut short when the FARC took him from her when he was only eight months old. For the next three years, Clara was given no information about him, but her desire to one day see him again kept her alive. In early 2008, Clara was finally liberated and reunited with her son—to whom this book is dedicated.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx261n3qvk971kpa1ts0fx2t.jpg?v=673ddaa912","LIFhg:baE3XO-ixYnRoe|@NIIsjI",2010,256,[852],{"id":853,"slug":854,"name":855},"01kx261n3k5t80xy0mzb61mdmq","clara-rojas-3jsp","Clara Rojas",[857,858,859],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":17},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":163,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":862,"themes":863,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,90,218],[],[]]
