In January 2013, Regina's fifteen-year-old nephew shot and killed his father (her brother), mother and three siblings. She became her nephew's guardian and stood by him through seven years of legal drama. In this memoir, she recounts her extremely difficult and personal story that affected her large extended family and entire community. It is a tragedy about generational trauma set in the rich cultural background of New Mexico. This is a story of courage and conviction as well as love, compassion, and hope. The book details the failure of not only the Juvenile Justice System, but many other systems that undergird families and society including gun safety. This memoir is both a warning and a call to action for families, communities, and our nation.

"This textbook brings a fresh approach to the study of constitutional criminal rights in the context of the American criminal justice system. It is intentionally written at a level suitable for an undergraduate. Seven Deadly Sins presents seven core constitutional virtues, introduced to the reader via their mirror opposites, which the authors call the "seven deadly constitutional sins" of the criminal justice system. These negative attributes or "sins" are: intolerance, subterfuge, intrusiveness, craftiness, favoritism, cruelty, and subservience to authority. Some of these negative attributes are housed entirely in one amendment to the constitution (e.g. cruelty) while others span several areas of the Bill of Rights (e.g., subservience to authority). Each negative trait is presented in two companion chapters. The first of the two chapters introduces the negative trait (e.g., "intolerance") and establishes its constitutional place via a presentation of various, appellate law decisions written in language suitable for an undergraduate student. The second, or companion, chapter then presents real world, non-legal "stories" from the field in the areas of policing and corrections that illustrate the trait using a more "hands on" approach. It is this combination of true stories from the field coupled with conceptualizing constitutional rights in terms of their mirror opposites (including the grouping of several amendments at once when necessary) that makes this book unique and fresh"--

Keeping their identities a secret from the world, you would never think Cali's deadliest hustlers were women. Sisters Sinaya and Blessing, better known on the streets as Sin & Beretta, are the definition of true bossettes. From drugs to murder for hire and everything in between, these deadly sisters have the game on lock. Sin runs the city with a shoot first, ask questions never mentality. After letting her guard down once and being left for dead carrying a child, she hardened her heart and vowed to never let that happen to her again. Carrying around a secret that could potentially change her life as she knows it, she buried it, along with her feelings. But, when a new player by the name of Ghost enters the game, can Sin keep dirt on those feelings that she thought died or will he turn out to be her blessing in disguise? Beretta is a self-proclaimed killer by birth and has never had a problem toe-tagging any and everything that comes her way. Sticking to that code, what happens when one of her missions makes her question everything she lives for? When secrets are uncovered and blood is shed, can the girls handle the Sins of their Berettas?
