Sinossi

In 'The Moccasin Maker' by E. Pauline Johnson, the reader is taken on a journey through the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada during the late 19th century. Through beautifully written prose, Johnson intricately weaves tales of love, loss, and resilience, all while shedding light on the cultural traditions of the Mohawk people. The book is a significant contribution to Indigenous literature, showcasing Johnson's unique literary style that blends poetic imagery with historical context. Readers will be transported to a time and place where the art of storytelling is a cherished tradition, and cultural identity is explored and celebrated. The Moccasin Maker is a poignant and thought-provoking read, offering insight into the complexities of Indigenous experiences in a rapidly changing world. E. Pauline Johnson, a Mohawk writer and performer, drew inspiration from her own cultural heritage to create The Moccasin Maker. Johnson's deep connection to her Indigenous roots is evident throughout the book, as she expertly crafts characters and settings that resonate with authenticity and emotion. Her work serves as a testament to the power of storytelling as a means of preserving and sharing Indigenous knowledge and traditions. I highly recommend 'The Moccasin Maker' to readers interested in exploring the rich tapestry of Indigenous literature. Johnson's work provides a window into a world that is both captivating and enlightening, offering a glimpse of a culture that is often overlooked and misunderstood. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of Indigenous experiences and perspectives.

At the end of the rainbow

Lydia Bottenburg

I lost my son, Mathias, in a tragic accident on a fateful night in November 2021. He was struck while walking with his dog on the highway, completely disoriented due to a benzo he had purchased online.

This book is my account of everything that happened in the following two years, from the heart-wrenching news on that fateful night to the moment I had to bury my child and the realization that I would never truly be able to enjoy life again.

By means of this book, I hope to, along with Mathias, warn others about the danger of 'research chemicals' that are readily available in online stores. It illustrates the devastating impact of these seemingly harmless pills, often used for relaxation or sleep.

I found solace by writing this story. I honour my son by telling his story in its entirety, as raw and honest as we experienced it. He was not perfect, but he is also a victim.

Room 1203 - OJ Simpson's Las...

Andy Caldwell

The basis of the A&E special OJ: Guilty in Vegas—an account of the notorious celebrity’s downfall by the detective who led the investigation. Rod knocked on the door, and within a few moments, the door swung open and there was O.J. Simpson. This was and is a moment that is hard to reconcile in my mind. As I stood there—a detective tasked with investigating a crime and thinking I was going to conduct this interview just like any other—I was a little star struck . . . In 1995, NFL great and movie star O.J. Simpson beat a murder rap for the death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. But in 2007 his luck with avoiding Lady Justice ran out in Las Vegas. Written by the lead detective assigned to the case, Room 1203 is the true story of the convoluted and bizarre events surrounding a violent armed robbery of a sports memorabilia collector in a Vegas hotel. On that night, Simpson put an exclamation mark on his spectacular fall from the height of Hollywood’s glamour and glitz to a shadowy world of scams and schemers in Sin City. This book provides details, insights, and facts not previously reported—and reveals the investigation that pieced the crime together and landed an arrogant man who believed he was above the law in a Nevada prison. “Read it in two sittings. . . . Dispelled the idea that the robbery in Las Vegas was more of a misunderstanding than a real crime and that Simpson was merely trying to get back his own property.” —Dennis Griffin, bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of a Casino Mobster
