Broken Butterfly
Reality can be far more surreal-and cruel-than fiction. This is the heart-wrenching true story of Erin Gray, who was lured, held hostage by, and eventually escaped from a serial predator. Broken Butterfly delves into horror-movie territory in this retelling of a young woman's spiral into drug addiction after prolonged exposure to brutal physical, sexual, and mental torture. Told by her mother, Wanda Gray, this first-hand account follows Erin's journey through violent trauma, complex PTSD, drug addiction, recovery, and relentless relapses.
While retracing her daughter's tragically cut-short young life, the author also reckons with herself as she tries, over and over, to help Erin recover and live a full life. Told in dual point of view, Broken Butterfly follows the twists and turns of two women navigating a dangerous and terrifying road fraught with trauma, loss, and grief. Yet this cautionary tale is also full of hope and a celebration of Erin. Inspired by her daughter to write this profoundly personal memoir, Gray shares the ups and downs, fleeting triumphs and naive mistakes, and overwhelming joy and devastation.
Parts elegy, true-crime chronicle, and self-help manual, Broken Butterfly removes the stigma from drug addiction, reminds those suffering through similar experiences that they are not alone, and provides practical resources for support amid a growing global drug-addiction crisis. It's also a love letter to Erin Gray, the guiding light who helped write this book in spirit. -

War has come to the Enchanted Vale. Not only am I mates to three of the four High Princes, but I'm also the daughter of the lost Queen. This is my home, and I have to protect it.
For months, I've been imprisoned in an underwater cell, and my mates are scattered across the realms, searching for me. The diabolic Kairyn and Nightingale have taken over the Summer Realm and there's only one way to stop them. The true High Prince of Summer will have to reclaim his throne, and to do that, he's going to need his full strength.
Which means being with his fated mate ... who isn't me. I always knew the day would come when I'd have to give Dayton up, but now that it's here, my heart is breaking. At least we have one last adventure together, as we must fight in the Sun Colosseum to reclaim the magical bow that only I can wield.
All the while, my mates battle for the Vale's freedom from across the realms. Keldarion and my father venture deep into the Below to search for my mother, the lost queen. Ezryn takes a hazardous journey with two young princesses into the unforgiving desert. And Farron must team up with the person he hates most in the world-the Prince of Thorns, Caspian-to confront a dark god who wants to claim the Vale for his own.
I know my Princes are counting on me to be strong. No matter what the Summer Realm throws at us-be it pirates, sirens, or gladiators-I'll fight for Dayton's home. And even though I know I shouldn't ... I'll fight for his heart, too.

Broken by the Horde King: Alternate Cover Edition
Nine years ago, he broke my heart and never returned. I vowed to forget him...if only I could.
When I was a child, I fell in love with a Dakkari boy. The prince of our clan. Rukkar, we called him. For he was destined to become the greatest horde king of our time.
He was Kiran of Rath Okkili. My friend. My strong, unyielding protector. His mischievous smile and golden eyes made my heart flutter and my soul sing. And just when I began to believe he returned my love...he shattered me so completely and never once looked back to see how I'd survived.
Nine years later, he's returned.
Only, he's not a prince anymore.
He's a horde king. Cold and cruel. With molten eyes like sin and a body made for war.
I'd promised myself I'd never love him again. I'm older, wiser, and I protect my heart at all costs. But he's driven to prove me wrong for reasons I don't understand.
Because not only does he want my love again...he also demands me as his queen.

Broken China Dream: How Reform Revived Totalitarianism
A provocative book that demystifies China's great democratic leap backward under Xi Jinping, revealing why the country's embrace of capitalism has given rise to hard authoritarianism, mass surveillance, and one-man rule instead of democracy as many in the West had hoped
When China embarked on its transformative journey of modernization in 1979, many believed the country's turn toward capitalism would put its totalitarian past to rest and mark the birth of a democratic, open society. Instead, China reverted to a neo-totalitarian state, one backed by one of the fastest-growing, most formidable economies on earth. The Broken China Dream pulls back the curtain on the regime of strongman Xi Jinping, revealing why the reforms of the post-Mao era have been reversed on nearly every front--and why the world failed to see it coming. Exposing the truth behind China's economic ascendency after the Cultural Revolution, Minxin Pei shows how, following Mao's death in 1976, Deng Xiaoping strategically deployed the tools of capitalism to preserve the Chinese Communist Party. Deng kept intact the institutional foundations of totalitarianism even as he unleashed private entrepreneurship and courted foreign investment, giving China's one-party state control of a vast repressive apparatus and the most critical sectors of the economy. Only a fragile balance of power among dueling factions prevented the rise of a totalitarian leader in the two decades after the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989--but this temporary equilibrium collapsed. Essential to understanding today's China, this meticulously researched book is a sobering account of why the country's reformers and institutions could not stop a shrewd and ruthless politician like Xi from resurrecting dormant totalitarian practices that, for the foreseeable future, have spelled the end of the dream of a free and prosperous China. -
Broken Circle: True Story of Murder and Magic in Indian Country: The Troubled Past and Uncertain Future of the FBI
Broken Circle recounts "The Chokecherry Massacre," in which three New Mexico high-school students were charged with the murder of two Navajo Indian men, causing a violent, racial street riot that prompted the governor to call out the National Guard. The tensions between whites and Native Americans reached a high in the town of Farmington, New Mexico when three white high school students brutally tortured and killed helpless victims from the neighboring Navajo reservation. As the town erupted into a violent, racial street riot and the courts went easy on the sentencing of the high school boys, Barker tells how Navajo militants sought out justice for years of injustice and oppression in response. An illuminating work of contemporary history, The Broken Circle reveals both sides of a dramatic and painful conflict and a turning point in the struggle for Native American rights. -

According to my grandma, a broken clock being right twice a day meant that in any given situation, perfect timing only happens twice. I fell for William Grayson in a matter of minutes. The connection between us was undeniable, but our timing was off. I was dating someone and by the time I was single again, he was taken. And a year later, when we finally got together, it was clear that we were soulmates. But circumstances out of our control cut our time short. We were a little older, a little wiser, when our paths crossed again. I was entering a new phase of independence in both my career and my life. He was growing professionally and moving to a new city. And even though our timing was off, it was still clear that we were soulmates. But for the second time, circumstances out of our control cut our time short. My grandma was a wise woman, but my love life taught me that there's no such thing as perfect timing. There's just timing... Because nothing is perfect. There's just right now... Because tomorrow isn't promised. For as long as we'd known each other, William and I just wanted to be together. It was as simple and as complicated as that.Sold out -
Broken Code: Inside Facebook and the Fight to Expose Its Harmful Secrets
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE - By an award-winning technology reporter for The Wall Street Journal, a behind-the-scenes look at the manipulative tactics Facebook used to grow its business, how it distorted the way we connect online, and the company insiders who found the courage to speak out "Broken Code fillets Facebook's strategic failures to address its part in the spread of disinformation, political fracturing and even genocide. The book is stuffed with eye-popping, sometimes Orwellian statistics and anecdotes that could have come only from the inside." --New York Times Book Review
Once the unrivaled titan of social media, Facebook held a singular place in culture and politics. Along with its sister platforms Instagram and WhatsApp, it was a daily destination for billions of users around the world. Inside and outside the company, Facebook extolled its products as bringing people closer together and giving them voice. But in the wake of the 2016 election, even some of the company's own senior executives came to consider those claims pollyannaish and simplistic. As a succession of scandals rocked Facebook, they--and the world--had to ask whether the company could control, or even understood, its own platforms. Facebook employees set to work in pursuit of answers. They discovered problems that ran far deeper than politics. Facebook was peddling and amplifying anger, looking the other way at human trafficking, enabling drug cartels and authoritarians, allowing VIP users to break the platform's supposedly inviolable rules. They even raised concerns about whether the product was safe for teens. Facebook was distorting behavior in ways no one inside or outside the company understood. Enduring personal trauma and professional setbacks, employees successfully identified the root causes of Facebook's viral harms and drew up concrete plans to address them. But the costs of fixing the platform--often measured in tenths of a percent of user engagement--were higher than Facebook's leadership was willing to pay. With their work consistently delayed, watered down, or stifled, those who best understood Facebook's damaging effect on users were left with a choice: to keep silent or go against their employer. Broken Code tells the story of these employees and their explosive discoveries. Expanding on "The Facebook Files," his blockbuster, award-winning series for The Wall Street Journal, reporter Jeff Horwitz lays out in sobering detail not just the architecture of Facebook's failures, but what the company knew (and often disregarded) about its societal impact. In 2021, the company would rebrand itself Meta, promoting a techno-utopian wonderland. But as Broken Code shows, the problems spawned around the globe by social media can't be resolved by strapping on a headset.Sold out -

Broken Country: On Trauma, a Crime, and the Continuing Legacy of Vietnam
The Broken Country uses a violent incident that took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2012 as a springboard for examining the long-term cultural and psychological effects of the Vietnam War. To make sense of the shocking and baffling incident--in which a young homeless man born in Vietnam stabbed a number of white men purportedly in retribution for the war--Paisley Rekdal draws on a remarkable range of material and fashions it into a compelling account of the dislocations suffered by the Vietnamese and also by American-born veterans over the past decades. She interweaves a narrative about the crime with information collected in interviews, historical examination of the arrival of Vietnamese immigrants in the 1970s, a critique of portrayals of Vietnam in American popular culture, and discussions of the psychological consequences of trauma. This work allows us to better understand transgenerational and cultural trauma and advances our still complicated struggle to comprehend the war. -
Broken Crayons
While Karter and I were trying to come up with a title for this book, I must admit it was fun to see what he could come up with. We were tossing around titles, and I finally said, "Karter, what about, "The Person who sits Next to Me." We can have a picture of students in a classroom sitting at their desks and some of the students have questions marks on their face. Karter replied, "No. I don't like that, Nana." I said OK what do you think? Karter said, Bullies are like crayons. I said, how do you mean? Karter tells me, "When crayons are broken, they can still color. When bullies are broken, they can still be good people and good friends." I said, "I love that thought Karter and I think we have the title."
