The man no one believed : the untold story of the Georgia church murders
by Joshua Sharpe
In 1985, a man walked into a Georgia church and murdered Harold and Thelma Swain, two pillars of the area's Black community. The killer vanished into the night. For fifteen years, the case remained unsolved. Then authorities zeroed in on Dennis Perry, a local carpenter Perry received a double life sentence. When award-winning journalist Joshua Sharpe retraces the case, he discovers a path of corruption, flawed evidence, devastating missteps, and secrets. Sharpe uncovers explosive evidence that proves Perry's innocence, and confronts a long-ignored suspect: an alleged white supremacist who had bragged about committing the murders.

How to be well : navigating our self-care epidemic, one dubious cure at a time
by Amy Larocca
A groundbreaking cultural, political, and personal exploration of the multi-billion dollar wellness industry and the ways it's shaping our thinking about health and self-care. Today, the wellness industry is a $3.7 trillion dollar behemoth that touches us all. Journalist Amy Larocca peels back the layers behind the movement and reckons with its promises and profits. She traces the history of how the beauty and fashion industries have peddled snake oil to women for decades--and suggests why we keep coming back for more. A nuanced portrait of the weird world of wellness that lays bare the ways in which the simple notion of caring for oneself has become big business.
