Chasing Justice: My Story of Freeing Myself After Two Decades on Death Row for a Crime I Didn't Commit

Descriere: 5,"Immensely compelling. ... If it were fiction, no one would believe it. Kerry Cook's account of his nightmare is fascinating." -John Grisham"Cook's story is so gripping that only a heart of steel won't break after reading it." -PeopleAn Edgar Award Finalist - Best Fact Crime Book A Dallas Morning News BestsellerThe harrowing, inspiring, and beautifully written story of a man wrongly sent to death row for two decades by the state of Texas. In 1977, at age 19, Kerry Max Cook was arrested and wrongly convicted of the capital murder of a young woman in Tyler, Texas. On death row, when Cook wasn't struggling to survive amid vicious inmates and inhumane conditions, he was fighting a justice system determined to muzzle him and loath to admit their horrendous mistake. Through his perseverance and the hard work of a team of crusading lawyers, his death sentence was reversed-11 days before his planned execution in late 1996. Here is Cook's story, in his own heartbreaking and moving words. Sure to spark debate about the American judicial system and the death penalty, Chasing Justice is an inspiration to anyone who has struggled to master the hand life has dealt.

Thrust into hourly challenges - many a matter of life and death - while on the Critical Care units of St George's in south London, Anthea processed her shocking experiences through writing. It started with an email to request biscuits. But her appeal to help boost the morale of her fellow nurses soon turned into a series of astonishingly moving stories detailing the realities of being a front line worker.It wasn't long before Anthea's accounts were circulating far and wide, capturing the attention of the nation and being feted by the likes of Richard Branson and Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid.In Life, Death ...

Don't Ask Me about My Dad: An Inspiring True Story of a Scared Little Boy with a Dark Secret

Growing up with him was like being in my own war zone, living in perpetual fear of when the bombs would fall. I was terrified of becoming him, and in moments I could feel I might. He still lives within me grimly like some battered demon spright. And I'm fearful of his shadow. The rage, and his blood. There are some moments when he arrives and I want to tear up the whole world with my bare hands, and all I really want is love. I want him away now. Please. Just go. While growing up in Essex, Tom Mitchelson and his identical triplet sisters routinely witnessed unspeakable acts of violence and abuse at the hands of their dad. They would watch in horror as he dragged their mum around the house, but they never dared breathe a word. Tom knew his dad was a monster, but it seemed he had nowhere to turn until a kindly teacher sought his company... Don't Ask Me About My Dad is an inspirational story of how one isolated young boy overcame the odds and finally found his voice.
