All the Dreams We've Dreamed

A Story of Hoops and Handguns on Chicago's West Side

By: Rus Bradburd

Shawn Harrington returned to Marshall High School as an assistant coach years after appearing as a player in the iconic basketball documentary film Hoop Dreams. In January of 2014, Marshall's struggling team was about to improve after the addition of a charismatic but troubled player. Everything changed, however, when two young men opened fire on Harrington's car as he drove his daughter to school. Using his body to shield her, Harrington was struck and paralyzed. The mistaken-identity shooting was followed by a series of events that had a devastating impact on Harrington and Marshall's basketball family. Over the next three years it became obvious that the dream of the game providing a better life had nearly dissolved. Author Rus Bradburd tells Shawn's story with empathy and care, exploring the intertwined tragedies of gun violence, health care failure, racial assumptions, struggling educational systems, corruption in athletics—and the hope that can survive them all.

2006-A Family-Friendly Guide to the Movies

By: Russell D. Jeffrey,Rus Jeffrey

Have you ever watched an inappropriately rated movie with children and later regretted it? As hosts of the weekly radio review show and authors of Frame by Frame: 2006-A Family-Friendly Guide to the Movies , Dr. Rus and Sandra Jeffrey cut through the Hollywood hype to offer concise, easy-to-read movie reviews designed with families in mind. In addition to movie reviews, you'll also find a more complete analysis of what they cover on the radio each week. Some movies they "tank," an expression they use when they trash a movie-but that doesn't mean they can't find any redeeming factors. As a result, the couple discusses all aspects of each movie, focusing on the positive and negative elements. Most importantly, the Jeffreys encourage families to watch movies together, and they provide discussion starters so the entire family can talk about what they have just watched. Whether renting movies online or at the local video store, Frame by Frame helps families select movies with the certainty they won't be blindsided by inappropriate content. With its simple rating system, straightforward reviews, and a quick-flip reference guide, Frame by Frame provides the resources you need right at your fingertips.
