always possible-- and always necessary. It documents a journey of struggle that pertains to a dark point in Canadian history that few talk about and of which even fewer seem aware. Poems speak to the 1960's "scoop up" of children and how this affected the lives of (one or thousands) of First Nations and Métis girls-- girls who later grew to be women with questions, women with wounds, women who felt like they had no place to call home. That is, until they allowed themselves to be open to the courage others have lived and shared. "Hiraeth" is a word that is Celtic in origin and it means looking for a place to belong that never existed. But this place does exist--in the heart. 2018.It was a time of unregulated madness, and nowhere was it madder than in Chicago at the dawn of the…
roaring 1920s. Speakeasies thrived, gang war shootings announced Al Capone's rise to underworld domination, Chicago's corrupt political leaders fraternized with gangsters, and yellow journalism only contributed to the excesses. Enter a slick, smooth-talking, charismatic lawyer named Leo Koretz, who enticed hundreds of people (who should have known better) to invest as much as $30 million in phantom timberland and non-existent oil wells in Panama. When Leo's scheme finally collapsed in 1923, he vanished and the Chicago State's Attorney began an international manhunt that lasted almost a year. When finally apprehended, Leo was living a life of luxury in Nova Scotia under an assumed identity. His mysterious death in a Chicago prison topped anything in his almost-too-bizarre-to-believe life.

Slater, an immigrant Jewish cardsharp, who, despite his obvious innocence, was tried, convicted, and consigned to life at hard labor in a brutal Scottish prison. Conan Doyle, already world famous as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, was outraged by this injustice and became obsessed with the case. Using the methods of his most famous character, he scoured trial transcripts, newspaper accounts, and eyewitness statements, meticulously noting myriad holes, inconsistencies, and outright fabrications by police and prosecutors. Finally, in 1927, his work won Slater's freedom. Fox immerses readers in the science of Edwardian crime detection and illuminates a watershed moment in the history of forensics, when reflexive prejudice began to be replaced by reason and the scientific method. 2018.Can you ever forgive me?: memoirs of a literary forger

Village bar and even dodging the FBI, Lee Israel had a legitimate career as an author of biographies.

Between 1990 and 1991, she wrote more than three hundred letters in the voices of, among others, Dorothy Parker, Louise Brooks, Edna Ferber, Lillian Hellman, and Noel Coward, and sold the forgeries to memorabilia and autograph dealers. 2018.Death sentence: the true story of Velma Barfield's life, crimes and execution
