Nisqually Indian Tribe

By: Cecelia Svinth Carpenter,Maria Victoria Pascualy,Trisha Hunter

The Nisqually are the original stewards of prairie lands, mountains, and rivers in Thurston and Pierce Counties. They welcomed British and American newcomers and tightly bound the outsiders to the Native American world. This volume visually explores the traditional time, when Nisqually political and economic control of the South Sound was supreme. As Nisqually men and women married and worked with outsiders, the Native American world was transformed. In 1854, Nisqually leaders signed a treaty with the United States and officially ceded most of their country, but the land and rights they reserved set the stage for a cultural revival in the 1970s.

I Am the Central Park Jogger

A Story of Hope and Possibility

By: Trisha Meili

A timeless, “triumphant” (Entertainment Weekly) story of healing and recovery from the victim of a crime that shocked the nation: the Central Park Jogger. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours later she arrives at the emergency room—comatose—she has lost so much blood that her doctors believe it’s a miracle she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery. Called “Hero of the Month” by Glamour magazine, Meili tells us who she was before the attack—a young Wall Street professional with a promising future—and who she has become: a woman who learned how to read, write, walk, talk, and love again...and turn horrifying violence and certain death into extraordinary healing and victorious life. With “moments of unexpected grace and insights into life’s challenges….Meili’s story—the story the public never knew—is unforgettable” (The Buffalo News).

Women Outside the Walls

By: Trisha Sugarek

Alma, Kitty and Hattie have one thing in common. The men that they love and married are in prison. Wives visit their men behind bars every day and wonder how their lives brought them to this place. This story focuses on three of these women. Alma is an exotic dancer who seems, at first glance, to be a bit of a nitwit. But on closer inspection she has a street-smart wisdom and humor. Hattie is a hard working African American with four children who is trying to keep her family together. Then there is Kitty, a wealthy socialite, who in spite of the shame and embarrassment of visiting a prison where her husband refuses to see her, doggedly visits every other week. In a series of flash backs we see these women when they lived normal lives with their husbands and children. The plot explodes when Chelsea, Alma and Charlie's daughter, disappears. One visiting day something happens that will change each of their lives forever as the visiting room erupts with violence and heartbreak. This story is based in truth and was inspired while the author was at the Dixon Correctional Facility in Dixon, Illinois, waiting to visit a confessed murderer. It was heart breaking to observe the women and children waiting to see their husbands, fathers, sons and brothers who might be incarcerated for a few months or for life.

Resort to Violence

By: Trisha Thompson

Spring in the foothills of Tennessee offers a glimpse of what many of us would imagine heaven to look like. In a small resort town, this halcyon portrait is framed in a safe, secure comfort that offers a temporary refuge to guests and a permanent retreat for retirees. The quiet, peaceful town of Ridgeville, TN and its inhabitants are shaken when this calm setting serves as the backdrop for a dramatic series of murders with no obvious connection and no clear motive. Affected by this disruption to the serene life they love are the couple who manage the resort, a local pastor who serves as spiritual harbinger for the town and the County Sheriff responsible for maintaining the peaceful climate they enjoy. A middle-aged widow retires to Ridgeville in an attempt to rebuild a life shattered by the loss of her husband. As she attempts to begin anew amidst this turmoil, she is welcomed into the group of friends and even begins to embrace the possibility of new love. She develops a relationship with a previous co-worker that emerges without physical contact, an Internet affair that takes her on a rollercoaster ride of love and passion. Her hopes are darkened when she finds herself in the eye of the storm of anger and death.
