  A tragedy is unfolding all around us and is receiving well overdue attention. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy than their white peers. But Dr. Monique Rainford is working to better understand these disparities and do something about them. 
   
   
   
  Pregnant While Black is a hopeful exploration of the issues pregnant Black women face in America. In this book, Dr. Rainford draws on over twenty years of experience working in obstetrics and gynecology to offer a primer on Black pregnancies and how to better care for them. She shares the successes and testimonies of Black women who have struggled during pregnancy and childbirth, anchoring the stories of these women with carefully researched facts. Despite medical advances over the last twenty years, for Black women, the overwhelming dangers of carrying and delivering children remain and it only seems to be getting worse. 
   
   
   
  In Pregnant While Black, Rainford begins the work of "repairing the damage of the past" with an examination of the conditions that plague Black pregnancies. This important book carries the hopes and dreams of a generation looking to effect change, here and now.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion is a deeply personal memoir that chronicles the author's journey through grief and loss following the sudden death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne. Set against the backdrop of her daughter Quintana's serious illness, the book explores the raw and disorienting experience of mourning, the struggle to comprehend the incomprehensible, and the search for meaning in the face of profound loss. Through lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, Didion captures the fragility of life, the enduring power of love, and the complexities of human connection in the face of mortality.

  A Second Chance - A Federal...

  Frederic Block

  Murderous mafia capos. The police officer who brutalized Abner Louima. A purveyor of child pornography. These are some of the defendants to have come before US District Court Judge Frederic Block to ask for reductions in their prison sentences. All of them have been found guilty and have already served decades in prison, but under the 2018 First Step Act they are entitled to petition for reconsideration and release. 
   
   
   
  In a rare glimpse behind the bench, Judge Block recounts the cases of six incarcerated people who have done heinous things but have nevertheless petitioned him for their release. He then explains the criteria the First Step Act has spelled out for his consideration. And, in a novel twist, he asks the listener, "What would you do?" 
   
   
   
  Judge Block puts us out of our suspense in a third section of the book where he tells us what he did do in each case and why, as he weighs each compassionate release request, evaluating issues ranging from "the trial tax," to sentencing disparities, to judicial incompetence. Finally, Judge Block makes the compelling case that the First Step Act should be extended to state court judges, since state prisons house about ninety percent of those incarcerated. In a book that could be the basis for a new season of Law & Order, Judge Block challenges our ideas about punishment and justice.
