Описание: They were a hard-working family that wanted to make an honest living for themselves and their future generations; yet, for the Aplin family, their desire to live out the American Dream was anything but times of happiness. In the new book, A Prey for the Enemy, author Annie Aplin recounts the tragic saga to befall her family when they took part in the seafood industry in small town, Seadrift, Texas. After a tornado devastated the family farm in Georgia, the Aplins and their seven children decided to enter the seafood industry in Florida. Noticing the seafood market was better in Texas, the family moved to Seadrift and saw their investment in the market thrive. That is until they dealt with the massive influx of Vietnamese fisherman after the fall of Saigon. Tensions continued as the family noticed, and even caught, the fisherman stealing out of the family's traps, but the struggle took a fatal turn when six fishermen shot and killed Annie's brother, Billy Joe, after he confronted them about their threatening actions toward the family. Six months later, after even more threats were sent to the family, Annie's sister and brother-in-law, Josie and Dale, turned up missing and were later found dead. One would think that such clear, malicious actions would be properly punished by the government, but the Aplin family found the opposite happen, as the local government said there was nothing they could do and the media portrayed their story with lies and deceit. A Prey for the Enemy is Annie's call to action to the government and American citizens everywhere that what happened forty-one years ago, in 1979, shouldn't continue to happen today. Yet it still does, and Annie still fights for justice and change to happen for immigration laws and regulations so her family didn't die in vain.

Описание: How do you go on after you've lost everything?
Over several terrifying summers, deadly wildfires raged across Colorado. Lives were lost, and the flames destroyed thousands of homes. When the smoke cleared and only rubble remained, survivors were left trying to find a way forward against devastating loss. The aftermath of that destruction would span many years, and its effects are still felt today.
In "Phoenix Rising," twenty women share their stories of fire, the terror they felt as flames engulfed their communities, and the dark desperation that followed. And how---in the ensuing weeks and months---they worked to recreate a life from the ashes. Their tales of fear and bravery, of deep compassion and heart-rending grief, offer an uplifting chronicle of human courage and resilience.
In "Phoenix Rising" written by women united by wildfire, they have the privilege of stepping into those moments to stand in the hallways of their shock and fear, grief and disorientation, and then, armed with the wisdom of retrospection, walking out into whatever comes next.
