But pressure from the law has kept Sagamore's still silent, and the stash of white lightning is starting to dwindle. To get his home-brewing operation back underway, Sagamore needs a distraction—and there's none better than local politics.

Now, while you still can.” (Kathleen Duey, author of National Book Award finalist Skin Hunger ) About the AuthorSarah Crossan first had the idea for Breathe when traveling in Washington State. Seeing the logging, she thought, "Don't people understand that we need trees to breathe?"

Watching it brings the dueling sensations of wicked mirth and squirming discomfort at being trapped in the hell of someone else's family horrors.

A riveting historical narrative of the shocking events
surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the follow-up to
mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln. More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln,
the page-turning work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination
that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor;
recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald
Kennedy--and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only
killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic
division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath. In
January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles to
contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships, solitude,
and temptations of what it means to be president of the United States.
Along the way he acquires a number of formidable enemies, among them
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan
Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition,
powerful elements of organized crime have begun to talk about targeting
the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. In
the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by
an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine
Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be caught and shot dead
while in police custody. The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself. Killing Kennedy
chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to
life in ways that will profoundly move the reader. This may well be the
most talked about book of the year.
