Despite all the airtime devoted to Amanda Knox, it's still hard to reconcile the fresh-faced honor student from Seattle with the sexually rapacious killer convicted of the November 2007 murder of her British roommate. Few Americans have heard all of the powerful evidence that convinced a jury that Knox was one of three people to sexually assault Meredith Kercher, brutalize her body, and cut her throat. In Angel Face, Rome-based Daily Beast senior writer Barbie Latza Nadeau -- who cultivated personal relationships with the key figures in both the prosecution and the defense -- describes how the Knox family's heavy-handed efforts to control media coverage distorted the facts, inflamed an American audience, and painted an offensive, inaccurate picture of Italy's justice system. An eye-opener for any parent considering sending a child away to study, Angel Face reveals what really went on in this incomprehensible crime.

This a long look into my many journal entries growing up in middle school and high school crushes and so-called true loves. This is my closure to those days and those who have hurt me; letting them know that through the Grace and Mercy and Love of Jesus Christ and His Father; they are forgiven and that they didn't know what they were doing; and how it would be God's use of them that would shape the person I am today and letting them know that they just made me into a fighter and made my skin that much thicker but still softer so that I can enjoy the many blessing God has allowed my eyes to see in this life; so that I can realize who the true BOSS is! He is the only true friend and love you and I both truly have; no matter what we do. This is a look into what many teens and young adults still deal with today; but at a much higher scale; and how important it is to have family and friends there to prepare you, and build you up; when others don't know what they are doing. Jesus said: "Father forgive them for they no not what they do." Once you have discovered who God is and how much He is in control and loves you like a father; what others may say about you don't matter that much anymore. He is waiting on you...will you answer his call or keep running? Abba/Father, please let whom ever reads this book be beckoned by you in a way they have never been before. Abba/Father, please don't give up on them. Continue to love on them; in Jesus' name..Amen.

A piercing, unforgettable love story set in Greenwood, Oklahoma, also known as the “Black Wall Street,” and against the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Isaiah Wilson is, on the surface, a town troublemaker, but is hiding that he is an avid reader and secret poet, never leaving home without his journal. Angel Hill is a loner, mostly disregarded by her peers as a goody-goody. Her father is dying, and her family’s financial situation is in turmoil. Though they’ve attended the same schools, Isaiah never noticed Angel as anything but a dorky, Bible toting church girl. Then their English teacher offers them a job on her mobile library, a three-wheel, two-seater bike. Angel can’t turn down the money and Isaiah is soon eager to be in such close quarters with Angel every afternoon. But life changes on May 31, 1921 when a vicious white mob storms the Black community of Greenwood, leaving the town destroyed and thousands of residents displaced. Only then, Isaiah, Angel, and their peers realize who their real enemies are.
