A Delta Blue Story

There is no meant to be but the love I've known has made it hard to believe thatAn inventive, funny and deeply moving family epic: a love story, an elegy and a reminder that even in the mess of family and memory there is something to laugh aboutAN OBSERVER NON-FICTION BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026'A wild ride' JON McGREGOR'Raw and intimate, so daring and disobedient' SARAH HALL'The most beautiful and truthful song to the pain present in a good life' EVIE WYLD Jarred McGinnis was born to a Southern US clan where masculinity, resilience and physical violence were intertwined. In There Is No Meant to Be he unearths the legends, secrets and scars that have shaped his family line from his outlaw Irish ancestors to his mother Momo's gift of foresight, and the ghosts - both real and remembered - that follow him into adulthood. Two decades on from the near-fatal accident that left him in a wheelchair, McGinnis is married and the father of two girls, living first in East London and now Marseille. He writes about love within the context of care and of the particular vulnerability that comes from being a parent with a disability. In a daring imaginative leap, he writes of the end of life too, reaching beyond his own death to look at what truly makes a life.'An exploration of how to lead a commendable life' The Observer'Caustic, hilarious, unflinchingly honest and so captivatingly humane, I couldn't put this book down' JAN CARSON'In a world teetering on madness, here is an ode to truth, courage, and the beautiful power of vulnerability' ELAINE FEENEY 'A multi-layered, many-textured masterpiece' CHARLIE GILMOUR

A Family Story

There Is No Meant to Be

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road--and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho--and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn't end scrutiny but invites it?Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did--and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

The Explosive Search for Truth Behind the Idaho Murders

Broken Plea

A New York Times BestsellerJustice Samuel A. Alito elaborates on his judicial philosophy and reflects on the roles of the law, the Constitution, and the courts in preserving America's spirit of liberty."So Ordered reveals Justice Samuel Alito as a jurist of rare balance: deeply principled yet resolutely practical." -Yuval Levin, author of American CovenantSamuel A. Alito has quietly become one of the most influential Supreme Court justices in recent history. In this surprisingly personal book, he vigorously defends his "originalist" approach to the Constitution, identifies the threats to our liberties, and reflects on faith, the nature of law, and American culture.Twenty years on the high court have given Justice Alito a unique perspective on the country's fiercest legal and constitutional battles. As America's culture wars unfolded, one side harnessed the power of the judiciary to impose its agenda, abetted by judges scornful of constitutional constraints and untroubled by doubts about their own infallibility. The response was a legal movement devoted to originalism and textualism, which found its most effective champion in Justice Alito.The battles, of course, are far from over. Free speech and religion, in particular, are frequently under fire. Justice Alito offers a compelling vision of the courts' role in defending these and other fundamental liberties.In So Ordered, one of our greatest jurists celebrates the complexity and brilliance of the American Constitution.

'Gary Slutkin is one of the most important thinkers and activists in the vital effort to understand and reduce violence....an invaluable contribution.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature From the founder of Cure Violence Global and former Director of Interventions at the WHO, this is the essential guide to ending the violence epidemic worldwide. Violence is often regarded as an unavoidable fact of life. The truth is far more hopeful: violence is a disease that can be cured.Drawing on decades spent fighting infectious disease before founding Cure Violence Global, Dr Gary Slutkin shows that violence behaves like any other epidemic - it spreads through exposure, but it can also be interrupted, contained and ultimately eliminated. By treating violence as a contagious illness rather than a moral failing, he reveals how communities around the world have begun to heal themselves, by following the basic epidemic playbook. These methods have dramatically reduced or eliminated violence in communities in the US, Latin America, and around the world.With clear-sighted pragmatism, The End of Violence uncovers the invisible logic of violence - and how it works on our brains and bodies - offering an inspiring and time-tested roadmap for our recovery. Incisive, far-reaching and profoundly hopeful, it challenges the idea that violence is inevitable and shows us a concrete way to a more peaceful world.'This book could not be more relevant or useful.' William Ury, bestselling author of Getting to Yes'A visionary work. A must-read, not only for practitioners but also for everyday people who care about their families, their futures, and those around them.' Dr Susan L. Bissell, Founding Director, Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children'Dr Slutkin is revolutionizing the field entirely... The world needs this book now to change the tide of violence and build a world of peace.' Rima Salah, former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations

After We Burned

An economist challenges an emerging orthodoxy: the idea that the best way to alleviate poverty is simply to give people money. A simple notion has become increasingly widespread in recent years: to lift people out of poverty, just give them money. Leading international organizations like the World Bank and United Nations endorse the use of cash transfers. So do Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and everyday philanthropists-the charity GiveDirectly has raised more than $800 million to distribute to households in a dozen countries. Challenging this emergent wisdom, Heath Henderson argues that cash transfers-whether one-off grants or a "basic income" provided over a stretch of time-are a flawed response to global poverty. They risk displacing interventions that recipients themselves might prefer: if a community lacks access to clean water or high-quality healthcare, for instance, giving cash to households will not address the problem, which can be solved only by putting those funds toward public infrastructure. Cash transfers have also been linked to more direct harms, including increases in domestic violence, child labor, inflation, and even mortality. The appeal of cash transfers is rooted in the idea that they avoid paternalism, letting the recipients of the money, rather than faraway donors, make choices for themselves. But as Henderson points out, such transfers substitute one form of paternalism for another, by assuming that markets know best. Poor Relief instead proposes looking beyond one-size-fits-all solutions toward a truly bottom-up alternative. Fixing global poverty is not just a matter of giving people money-it requires giving communities democratic power.

Why Giving People Money Is Not the Answer to Global Poverty
