There was a used bookstore next to my mom's office at one point, and because I'd be with her after school, I'd beg to go over there and read instead of sit in the office.
I still have weird snippets of stories I picked up in there that will never be ID'd. Rarely, I've found a book I looked at.

You'd get book 5 of a series at a yard sale, and then simply never find that series or even its author again for years.

Your reading *had* to be eclectic because you were stuck with whatever you had, and what you had was scrounged up like a post-apocalyptic scavenger.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
