Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1912 boxing was as popular a spectator sport in the United States as baseball, if not more so. It was also rife with corruption and surrounded by gambling, drinking, and prostitution, so much so that many cities and states passed laws to control it. But not in New Mexico. It was the perfect venue for one of the biggest, loudest, most rambunctious heavyweight championship bouts ever seen. In Crazy Fourth Toby Smith tells the story of how the African American boxer Jack Johnson—the bombastic and larger-than-life reigning world heavyweight champion—met Jim Flynn on the fourth of July in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The civic boosters, bursting with pride in their town, raised a hundred thousand dollars for the fight, pushing events like the sinking of the Titanic to the back pages of every newspaper. In the end, once the dust finally settled on the whole unseemly spectacle, Las Vegas would spend the next generation making good on its losses.

Book excerpt: “A magnificent gift to those of us who love someone who has a mental illness…Earley has used his considerable skills to meticulously research why the mental health system is so profoundly broken.”—Bebe Moore Campbell, author of 72 Hour Hold Former Washington Post reporter Pete Earley had written extensively about the criminal justice system. But it was only when his own son—in the throes of a manic episode—broke into a neighbor's house that he learned what happens to mentally ill people who break a law. This is the Earley family's compelling story, a troubling look at bureaucratic apathy and the countless thousands who suffer confinement instead of care, brutal conditions instead of treatment, in the “revolving doors” between hospital and jail. With mass deinstitutionalization, large numbers of state mental patients are homeless or in jail-an experience little better than the horrors of a century ago. Earley takes us directly into that experience—and into that of a father and award-winning journalist trying to fight for a better way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you've run your whole life, living freely and doing whatever felt good, and then you finally hit rock bottom? The deepest, darkest bottom of the rock that there could possibly be? Who do you run to? Who can you count on to be there and save you from yourself? Lucky, for Yeshi, he didn't have to ask those two questions, because just like she's always been, his own personal angel, Logan is there to build him up where he's torn down. However, he isn't the only one with problems. Is she strong enough to carry the burdens for them both, or will she have to find solace in the arms of another man? Fresh, rejuvenated, and in love, East and Killian are at the best place they could ever be. Married with their children, life is good until East's sister, Jerian, comes to town and flips their peaceful lives upside down. No matter how hard the two try to maintain their happiness, Jerian stops at nothing to ruin what they've built. Just when they think they have it all under control again, everything that can go wrong does."

Book excerpt: USA Today best-selling author Adriana Locke brings laughter and love in this friends-to-lovers small-town romance. Love is crazy. Peck Ward, the sweet, small-town mechanic, isn't sure it's for everyone. Least of all him. His life is chaotic enough without adding the pressure of a relationship. Besides, unrequited love is a real thing, and he's kind of over it. This works out perfectly until a certain someone throws a wrench - pun intended - into his plans. As they go from adversaries to friends to possibly something more, things get complicated. After all, they know how this story ends. It's not with them together. His easy grin is enough to win her over. Her unabashed personality does him in. But are they ready to accept the fact that, sometimes, you don't find love where you're looking for it? Sometimes, you find it in the most unexpected, craziest places.
