John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it&rsquo;s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you.

<b><i>UNMASKING FOR LIFE, </i>DEVON PRICE'S NEW BOOK, IS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW</b><br/><br/>***<br/><b><br/>OVER 250,000 COPIES SOLD</b><br/><b><br/><i>'Outstanding.' -</i>Fern Brady, author of <i>Strong Female Character</i><br/><br/><i>'Reading this felt like being at home - I didn't realise how much I masked. What an incredible book that I know will be re-read many times over.' -</i>Dr Camilla Pang, author of <i>Explaining Humans</i><br/><br/><i>'A</i><i> remarkable work that will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement.' </i> -Dr Barry M. Prizant, author of <i>Uniquely Human</i><br/><br/><i>'A powerful argument for radical self-acceptance applicable to all readers.' -</i><i>Los Angeles Times</i><br/><br/><i>'An essential roadmap for autistic people to be themselves.' -</i><i>NPR</i><br/></b><br/>Have you, a friend or family member been living with undiagnosed autism?<br/><br/>For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical. They don't fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.<br/><br/>Blending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the phenomenon of 'masking', making a passionate argument for radical authenticity and non-conformity. A powerful call for change, <i>Unmasking Autism </i>gifts its readers with the tools to uncover their true selves and build a new society - one where everyone can thrive on their own terms.

<b>FROM THE AUTHOR OF <i>UNMASKING AUTISM</i></b><br/><b><i><br/>'This book articulates a feeling that has lurked in the dark corners of so many minds and brings it into the light where it can be faced, embraced, understood, and ultimately, healed. .' -Celeste Headlee, journalist and bestselling author<br/></i></b><br/><b>How many times a day do you feel shame? Struggling to pay the bills; buying a top made in a sweatshop; reading the news and feeling - yet again - a powerlessness to the point of apathy?</b><br/><br/>In today's self-blame culture, it often feels impossible not to carry shame about the choices we make and the values by which we live. When the political is so personal, and the personal is so political, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sense that we're not doing enough - maybe, even, that <i>we're </i>not enough.<br/><br/>In this bold and transformative manifesto, social psychologist and author of <i>Unmasking Autism </i>Dr Devon Price takes an in-depth look at shame and the role it plays in our lives. Systemic Shame traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures. But it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they're carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. This new, radically positive book shows us that there is no such thing as becoming "good enough" to be deserving of love; that we must claim acceptance for ourselves.<br/><br/>Blending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, <i>Unlearning Shame </i>is a radical guide to overcoming self-blame and embracing a new culture - one where we take control of the choices we make and the future we create.

<b><i>The New India</i></b><b> is the unforgettable account of the struggle between modern forces and ancient ideas to shape the young country's destiny. It reveals a picture of a nation on the precipice of dramatic change.</b><br/><b><br/>'Remarkable... fascinating... brilliant' <i>Guardian</i></b><br/><br/>Based on six years of detailed research and on-the-ground reporting, the book builds - authoritatively, vividly, indelibly - to become the story of post-colonial India. Using hundreds of interviews, and letters, diary entries, Partition-era police reports, and an astonishing range of sources, Bhatia shows how history plays a recurring role in the present: in politics, in the minds of citizens, in notions of justice and corruption.<br/><br/>Bhatia examines the connections between the Delhi riots of 2020 and the emergence of nineteenth-century revolutionary secret societies, the rise of Hindu nationalism, whose early advocates drew lessons from Hitler and Mussolini, the political use of misinformation and religious targeting, and the Hindu fundamentalist ideology that sparked the creation of the world's largest biometric project. As Bhatia shows, the evolution of this citizen database, in the hands of the BJP, now threatens to deny vast numbers of India's 200 million Muslims their Indian citizenship. Electorates in democracies used to choose their government. Now, in India, the government is choosing its electorate.<br/><br/>India has rarely been seen as in <i>The New India</i>, a monumental work of narrative reportage that illuminates the ways in which a supremacist ideology remade the country over decades, resulting in the prodigious rise of Narendra Modi, and forcing many to ask what they truly understood about their neighbours and themselves.

<b>A heart-pounding, suspenseful, and supremely romantic novel from <i>New York Times</i> bestseller Mia Sheridan, author of <i>Archer's Voice</i>.</b><br/><br/>....................<br/><br/><b><i>She'd carried her boy made of moonlight in her heart all this time, the driving force that kept her searching, kept her looking for answers even when they seemed impossible to attain.</i><br/><i><br/>And he'd carried her with him as well.</i></b><br/><br/>Autumn Sterling knows more than she'd like to about pain and survival. As one of only a handful of children who made it to adulthood after being exposed to a horrific drug that swept impoverished communities decades earlier, Autumn is focused on living a full, rich life as a nurse.<br/><br/>And yet, she can't seem to let go of him: the boy she once called her moonlight monster. The boy they tried to convince her was merely a dream brought on by her medications. But how could he be anything but real when she touched him, felt him, made him laugh? When she woke with tangible signs of him still on her skin?<br/><br/>Years later, when Autumn spots that same moonlit hair on a busy city street, her new life turns upside down. The boy, now a man, has suffered on a level even Autumn can't imagine. And it is this anguished soul - Sam, her moonlight monster - who is the link to every question about her past that's ever haunted her.<br/><br/>As a murky picture of cruelty and corruption emerges, it's only Sam who can fully expose an evil too ghastly to comprehend . . . and it's only Autumn he'll let close enough to his dark and wounded heart to see the truth.<br/><br/>....................<br/><br/><b>Why readers love Mia Sheridan !</b><br/><br/>'The bible to how to write a good, convincing love story' <b>L.J.
