Paperback. Condición: Good. In this complex world of today, with so many at risk tweens and teens grappling with issues, problems and crises, can a fresh perspective on their trials and tribulations help to turn them around?Shelves and shelves of books have been written about children who are at risk of violent and criminal behavior, but their authors are writing from their academic perches - rather than addressing real experiences in the streets and in the homes of at-risk families. YOUTH IN JEOPARDY offers a practical alternative. Instead of presenting dry academic studies about the at risk population, it draws on the author's 20+ years of experience in violence prevention work in the Bronx and East Harlem. Filled with gut-wrenching anecdotes, it delivers what parents, therapists, and teachers nationwide desperately seek: fresh, practical approaches to violence prevention for rebellious tweens and teens. Why is Youth in Jeopardy so necessary at this particular time? The book is designed to address the frustration of Americans who are besieged with daily headlines of yet another deadly act of violence - and who yearn to understand the causes - and especially the remedies - that might bring an end to these senseless tragedies.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Live From The Pen: Reformed by J. S. Russell is a raw, unfiltered collection of poetry written from inside prison walls-a testament to transformation, accountability, and the redemptive power of the written word. In this revised and expanded edition, Russell invites readers into the lived reality of incarceration while challenging them to confront their own beliefs, choices, and future direction.More than a book of poems, Live From The Pen is an interactive journey. Each piece is followed by reflective prompts, turning the reader from observer into participant. Russell does not merely recount his experiences; he creates space for self-examination. Through themes of guilt, growth, fatherhood, addiction, racism, identity, regret, ambition, and spiritual awakening, he explores what it means to confront one's past while building a different future.From deeply personal pieces like Never Thought, where he reflects on the weight of a murder conviction and fatherhood behind bars, to socially conscious works like An Oppressed View and Death to the Nigga, Russell wrestles with systemic injustice, internal accountability, and cultural contradictions. In poems such as The Future of Now and Self Evaluation, he shifts the focus to personal responsibility, emphasizing that transformation begins with disciplined thought and intentional action.Throughout the collection, readers witness a man wrestling with his former self while intentionally shaping a new identity. Russell openly acknowledges the harm he caused, the environments that shaped him, and the choices that led to his incarceration. Yet, rather than remain trapped in shame, he reframes prison as a training ground for mental, spiritual, and intellectual elevation. Writing becomes both resistance and rehabilitation.The Reformed edition reflects a matured voice-one shaped by reflection, education, and growth since the original publication. Russell emphasizes the pen as both weapon and tool: a means to fight despair, dismantle limiting narratives, and reconstruct purpose. His message is clear-incarcerated individuals are human beings capable of evolution when given space, opportunity, and self-awareness.Ultimately, Live From The Pen is about writing oneself into freedom. It speaks to those inside prison walls, those returning home, and anyone who has ever felt confined by past mistakes. Russell's central question echoes throughout the book: If he wrote himself to freedom, where will you write yourself to?This collection is not just poetry-it is testimony, challenge, and invitation.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Tragedy to Triumph-The Story of Tom's Heart provides an up-close and personal look at the journeys of two individuals facing death as they present their individual perspectives as the donor family and the recipient. There are very few stories in life that grip you like the loss of a child. When that story hits home, it can feel like your very heart is being ripped out. This story is about life and death. When a family member or friend suffers end-stage organ failure, the pain is different but very real. Loved ones watch as you wither away before their eyes dying, waiting, and hoping for the ultimate gift, the gift of life, so they can go on living. Tragedy to Triumph-The Story of Tom's Heart is the harrowing and heart-wrenching tragedy that struck him and his family. At the worst moment any family should ever have to deal with, the parents said 'yes' to organ, eye, and tissue donation so the lives of others could be saved and enhanced. For Tom's mother, it offered hope in the midst of despair, a purpose in the midst of tragedy, and light in the midst of the darkest night of her life. By saying yes to donation, another mother and family did not have to wonder, wait, or face the death of their son, brother, or friend. Pete Radigan, who was in end-stage heart failure at Columbia Hospital, unsure if he would live or die, received Tom's heart-the gift of life. This is their story.…
