"The world is to know the Messiah is here," wrote Keith Haigler, a member of the Foundation of Ubiquity, a tiny cult based in Jasper, Arkansas. On July 3, 1982, Keith, 26, and his wife Kate, 24, hijacked a Continental Trailways bus and parked it on the Little Buffalo River Bridge in Jasper, demanding to speak to a local TV news reporter in order to broadcast their rambling story of salvation through faith in their leader, Emory "Fou" Lamb, a middle-aged storekeeper. "Contact KY3 News reporter Jim Caldwell," the Haiglers wrote in a letter addressed to the local sheriff. "You have two hours to accomplish this. After two hours, we will shoot one person every half hour until this demand is met. If any attempts are made to come close to the bus, we have the dynamite to blow it apart. We are the witnesses spoken of in Revelation Chapter 11. After we are killed this afternoon, our dead bodies are not to be tampered with, embalmed or any other means of society's funeral rites. The bodies are to be taken to the land of the Messiah, Emory Lamb, whereupon they will lie until July 7, when the spirit of life will enter into them and we will stand on our feet. This demand must be met, or Jasper will be destroyed." This is the narrative of two delusional young people who begged the police to kill them ... and a town held captive as they watched an unimaginable scenario play out before their eyes. It is the tale of a sheriff and dozens of state police officers who patiently negotiated with the hijackers for four hours, attempting to prevent a bloody tragedy.

Losing the ideal of his life, with his mother not questioning the ultimate verdict of the Police Department, he would not settle for anything less! A fifteen-year-old teen hitting the streets and hooking up with members of one of the most widespread drug trafficking gangs from Meriden, CT, to Florida ends up having near-death experiences. Love replaced with weed, innocence replaced with fury, and high school replaced with Grove Street clubhouse. What more does he have to give up in search of truth? Wandering from place to place, having moved to so many different places to bust up their connections with the Diablos and starting anew. For the sake of his life, his father ended up signing a deal to infiltrate the gang he befriended for more than 20 years. His eventual effort to make up and secure his family led him to an intimate meeting with Jackie Baltas at the Apple Harvest festival had gone in vain. The drift that his father's hanging corpse in the closet of Heritage Inn, at Stuart Florida, brought into his life has shown him the real face of the so-called cops and detectives. They would pat his back and utter words of assurances promising to save his father's life even from hell. Yet, his father's murder, painted as suicide to get rid of taking responsibility for him, who gave up his life, working as an informant for the detectives of the federal department, Southington. Who knew they would later relish the fruit of efforts made by his father and keep away from his only son the pieces of evidence that could lead him to the truth? But he would dig the earth and tear down the heaven to unveil the veracity of his father's demise. In his expedition to get to that one person who would say, "I killed him," he would come across the abhorrent truths of his father's side of the family and the potential personalities of this murder's triangle-- the police, the Diablos and the Dominellos.

In his nearly thirty years at CBS News, Emmy Award–winner Bernard Goldberg earned a reputation as one of the preeminent reporters in the television news business. When he looked at his own industry, however, he saw that the media far too often ignored their primary mission: objective, disinterested reporting. Again and again he saw that they slanted the news to the left. For years Goldberg appealed to reporters, producers, and network executives for more balanced reporting, but no one listened. The liberal bias continued. In this classic number one New York Times bestseller, Goldberg blew the whistle on the news business, showing exactly how the media slant their coverage while insisting they’re just reporting the facts.

"In the Fall of 2010 I gave an assignment in my Appalachian Literature class at Berea College, telling my students to write their own version of "Where I'm From" poem based on the writing prompt and poem by George Ella Lyon, one of the preeminent Appalachian poets. I was so impressed by the results of the assignment that I felt the poems needed to be preserved in a bound document. Thus, this little book. These students completely captured the complexities of this region and their poems contain all the joys and sorrows of living in Appalachia. I am proud that they were my students and I am very proud that together we produced this record of contemporary Appalachian Life" -- Silas House

Along the way, the unlikely duo of lawman and outlaw discovered that greed ruins even the best-laid plans, and the Devil always gets His due. Although the hills and hollows echoed with whispers after the sheriff’s alleged suicide, no one dared to reveal the hidden truth behind his double life. Until now.

This sweeping epic set in 19th-century India begins in the foothills of the towering Himalayas and follows a young Indian-born orphan as he's raised in England and later returns to India where he falls in love with an Indian princess and struggles with cultural divides. The Far Pavilions is itself a Himalayan achievement, a book we hate to see come to an end. It is a passionate, triumphant story that excites us, fills us with joy, move us to tears, satisfies us deeply, and helps us remember just what it is we want most from a novel. M.M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction, moving the famed literary critic Edmond Fuller to write: "Were Miss Kaye to produce no other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gone With the Wind."
