This book discusses the history and evolvement of modern policing. Essentially, policing is used to control the population into "civil obedience," and have done more harm than good for poor/low-income/minority/under resourced communities. Highly recommend. ~ Mary T.
Part Pinocchio, Blade Runner, Mad Max & Tank girl. I devoured this book in little over a day. Compulsively readable and heartbreaking. ~ Myla S.
The Devil's Elixir by Raymond Khoury
Book is full of adventure and mystery with a series of twists and turns. Really good book!

Inferno: A memoir of motherhood and madness by Catherine Cho
A first-person account of what it is like to descend into postpartum psychosis and eventually crawl out of it. The author brought her journal with her while in treatment which gives the book an authentic feeling of what it's like to not know what happened to you or why. Includes the reactions and devastating effects to relationships of those around the mother who is struggling with this diagnosis. A must-read for anyone treating postpartum women, and a good reason to advocate for programs that include treatment for the mother-infant bond. ~ Linda J.
