Wolf Girl #2: The Great Escape

We are all more than the worst thing we’ve ever done “Margulies tells the stories of people who have done monstrous things but are not monsters, are not forever defined by their worst acts. He writes beautifully of pain and loss, but also of redemption and transformation….A wonderfully hopeful book about what it means to be human.”—Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking In Cast Out, civil rights lawyer Joseph Margulies insists that those who commit even the most heinous crimes are one of us and should be judged in a spirit of forgiveness. He explains that American society is too often unforgiving, preferring to cast out those we consider irredeemable by fixating narrowly on the question, “What did they do?”, and imagining that those who have done great wrongs have no past worth learning and no future worth preserving. But judgment in a forgiving spirit demands that we ask, “What happened?” What brought a human being to this place. Through intimate interviews, his rich chapters bring to life six men and women, sharing their (sometimes brutal) crimes, the grim but all-too-human paths that led them there, and their evolution and insights. Eye-opening and unflinching, Cast Out makes us truly see those society locks away—the so-called “worst of the worst”. It challenges the reader to see us in them and them in us, and in that way, to recognize the humanity we all share.

Through intimate interviews, his rich chapters bring to life six men and women, sharing their (sometimes brutal) crimes, the grim but all-too-human paths that led them there, and their evolution and insights. Those he interviewed include Eric Matthews, serving life for murder, who quickly became a much-celebrated model inmate; Lucas Whaley, who embraced white supremacy in prison but then rejected it; and Lisa Matthews who suffered a lifetime of abuse leading up to her crime that put her on death row. Eye-opening and unflinching, Cast Out makes us truly see those society locks away—the so-called “worst of the worst”. It challenges the reader to see us in them and them in us, and in that way, to recognize the humanity we all share.

A Call for a Forgiving Society in an Age of Incarceration

Cast Out

"The advancement of Black and other people of color in the workplace is collapsing as companies turn away from their promises of "racial reconciliation" made in 2020. This period saw a sharp rise in Black talent, from DEI managers to CEOs to junior-level hires. Now, in 2024, American employers are hemorrhaging these same employees, the direct result of an alarming retreat from the active creation of workplaces and leadership that reflect the nation's diversity. That retreat is characterized by underemployment, cracked glass cliffs, toxic work environments, and claims of "empty pipelines." More concerning, Black and other professionals of color often face greater scrutiny than their peers regarding job applications, work experience, and qualifications, forcing them to repeatedly prove their worth, intelligence, and even their right to be in the workplace. And that scrutiny has a name: competency checking. When in comes to hiring Black talent, the pipeline isn't broken; rather, it is the assumptions we make about who we consider employable. In Qualified, award-winning executive and journalist Shari Dunn combines deep research with enlightening interviews and anecdotes from across the broad spectrum of her career to uncover the history of competency checking, how it manifests in the workplace, and what can be done to change it. Competency checking, Dunn argues, continues to be practiced consciously and unconsciously and is the key reason why Black and other people of color are underrepresented in so many industries, and why there continues to be a revolving door of Black talent even after the hiring surges of 2020"--

A groundbreaking work challenging the false narrative that diversity equals a lack of qualifications by uncovering the impact of "competency checking," a core issue of workplace discrimination that unjustly scrutinizes Black people and other people of color, forcing them to repeatedly prove their worth, intelligence, and even their right to be in the workplace.The career advancement of Black and other people of color in the workplace is under attack as there is a turn away from the promise of the "racial reconciliation" of 2020. This period saw Black talent rise in the workplace from DEI managers to CEOs to junior-level hires. Yet, the post-2020 workplace is seeing an alarming retreat from creating workplaces and leadership that reflect the nation’s diversity.That retreat is characterized by underemployment, cracked glass cliffs, toxic work environments, and claims of "empty pipelines." More concerning, Black professionals and other people of color often face greater scrutiny than their peers regarding job applications, work experience, and qualifications to even be considered for employment or advancement. And that scrutiny has a name: Competency Checking.When it comes to hiring Black talent, the leadership pipeline isn’t broken; rather, it is the unconscious bias and assumptions we make about who is competent and qualified. In Qualified, award-winning executive and journalist Shari Dunn combines deep research with enlightening interviews and anecdotes from across the broad spectrum of her career to uncover the history of Competency Checking, how it manifests in the workplace, and what can be done to change it. This systemic racism, Dunn argues, continues to be practiced consciously and unconsciously and is the key reason why Black people and other people of color are underrepresented in so many industries and why there continues to be a revolving door of Black talent even after the hiring surges of 2020.This urgent and deeply researched book provides the tools to dismantle the systems holding exceptional talent back, revealing:<ul><li>The Myth of the Pipeline: Discover why the issue isn’t a lack of diverse talent but the hidden blockages and biased assumptions within the corporate culture that prevent qualified candidates from being hired and promoted.</li><li>Competency Checking Defined: Learn to identify the three primary ways Black professionals and other people of color are forced to constantly prove their qualifications, from job interviews to performance reviews.</li><li>Beyond Performative DEI: Move past ineffective initiatives by understanding the historical roots of workplace discrimination and how they manifest in today’s office politics, toxic work environments, and revolving-door retention.</li><li>Actionable Strategies for Change: Find concrete, evidence-based strategies for leaders, managers, and allies to dismantle biased systems and build a truly equitable and innovative workplace for everyone.</li></ul>

I Think We Should Kill Other People

Glass Onion meets Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library in this laugh-out-loud, “complex, twisty” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade mystery about an inexperienced detective who plans to solve a local murder to achieve greatness. Only you can solve the mystery of my murder. Grady Jones has spent nearly all twelve years of his life trying to find a way to be great at something. So when a mysterious note is delivered to his door, addressed to him, asking Grady to solve the murder of his town’s reclusive millionaire, Grady believes his search is over. He’ll be a Great Detective! The only problem is he is not known for being very observant…or intuitive…or clever. Oh, and he has no idea how to solve a mystery. Luckily, he has some friends who have skills of deduction, and together, they might have the chops to figure out the murderer. Then a stranger also named Grady Jones comes to town, and Grady fears the note might not have been meant for him at all. And if that’s the case, how will he ever become Great? In this hilarious mystery about mistaken identity, one boy must make life-changing decisions, perhaps most important of all: is it more important to be a Great Detective, or a great friend?

Grave Danger

When your identity is the crime, innocence is no defense "Beety . . . fills important gaps in our conversation around the criminal justice system and innocence." --Jen Marlowe, author of I Am Troy DavisA woman miscarries--and is charged with murder. A new mother tests positive for a drug her hospital administered--and loses custody of her newborn. Four women are convicted of horrific crimes against children they never touched, based on junk science and homophobia--and spend nearly twenty years in prison before being exonerated. A queer teenager takes a photo of a child's diaper rash at work--and is sentenced to 126 years. These cases are not aberrations. They are symptoms of a system that punishes women and queer people not for what they have done, but for who they are. In the United States, nearly three-quarters of all wrongly convicted women were convicted of crimes that never occurred at all. Valena Beety, co-founder of the Indiana Innocence Project and award-winning legal scholar, reveals how ordinary tragedies--a child's sudden death, a husband who dies in his sleep--are transformed by prosecutors into murders that never happened. These "no crime" convictions disproportionately target women and queer people, whose identities are recast as evidence of guilt through bias, junk science, and entrenched stereotypes. Drawing on devastating real-life cases, Beety exposes how prosecutorial overreach, flawed forensic science, and cultural panic converge--and how fetal personhood laws, the fall of Roe v. Wade, and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation have dramatically expanded the reach of criminal law. What emerges is a chilling portrait of a legal system that increasingly criminalizes pregnancy outcomes, motherhood, and queer identity itself.
