The moving story of a New Orleans woman who fought for justice and her community even amidst one of the city's darkest moments. Mark Hertsgaard and Deborah Cotton were strangers to one another, united only by a love of jazz and New Orlean’s distinctive Second Line tradition. And then, during a Mother’s Day parade, they were thrown together when two gunmen fired into the crowd… Deborah Cotton—known to all as Big Red—was among the most grievously injured. She is the driving force of this deeply reported parable of two of America’s most deeply rooted issues. A racial justice activist in her forties who was born to a Black father and a white mother, Cotton was one of twenty people—including the author—shot in the biggest mass shooting in the modern history of New Orleans. Once one of the largest slave ports, the city has long been a vortex of violence and racism. From her apparent deathbed, Big Red shocked observers by urging mercy for two young Black men accused of the attack. “Racism can kill Black people even when a Black finger pulls the trigger,” she tells Hertsgaard, who, she later said, is “called” to investigate what actually happened, and why. Charismatic, complicated, and struck down in her prime, Big Red and her heroic life will captivate readers. In the wake of the shooting, she never stopped fighting as she sought to get to the core of this uniquely American maelstrom. Big Red's Mercy is an illuminating narrative that provides a human and unflinching look at modern America.

Joe Olexa enlisted in the US Army in December 1940, figuring that if he was going to be in a war, he might as well start training. Assigned to the 1st Infantry Division, nicknamed “The Big Red One,” he served in Company L of its 26th Infantry Regiment for the next four years. Along the way he trained with the division in maneuvers in the United States; shipped to England in 1942; landed at Oran, Algeria, in the Operation Torch landings of November 1942; and fought in Tunisia, Sicily, Normandy, Belgium, and Germany. Olexa was one of the first group of enlistees that brought the division up to full strength in the buildup prior to Pearl Harbor, and was a sergeant by the time he went overseas. He served as a squad leader, platoon sergeant, and acting platoon leader, outlasting nearly all the men in his company. His memoir features accounts of unusual adventures in Tunisia when his battalion was detached from the rest of the division, and presents a detailed and intense account of his platoon’s experiences at El Guettar. Later, Olexa became a “Sea Scout,” going ashore on Sicily the night before the invasion to provide signals to guide landing craft onto the beach at Gela. After landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day, Olexa was selected by his battalion commander to hunt snipers and lead patrols in addition to his usual duties, and he fought in Normandy until wounded in late June. He rejoined his company in mid-September 1944 and was heavily involved in the capture of Aachen in October. His memoir, originally composed in the late 1970s and expertly edited and annotated by James Smither, offers remarkable insights into the experiences of an ordinary soldier who found himself in truly extraordinary situations.

In this uncanny tale of romance from bestselling author Debra Dixon, the new doctor in town falls for a late-night-TV temptress, who in turn is spooked by the promise of love. Her voice enticed him from the start. So when Dr. Nick Devereaux gets a glimpse of Midnight Mercy Malone, the local TV-horror-movie hostess, he’s overcome with a desire to keep her up all night. Still, he likes her even better out of her slinky costumes, an everyday beauty who has him prescribing house calls. Every red-blooded male in Louisville tunes into The Midnight Hour for its heartbreaker of a hostess, but Mercy’s lusty alter ego has a way of scaring them off in person. Offscreen, she’s never risked getting her heart broken—until Nick shows up at her doorstep. She can feel the heat from his body. His exotic Cajun accent gives her goosebumps. And the mischief in his eyes dares her to run—just so Nick can enjoy the chase. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: All Is Fair . . ., Bad to the Bone, and Rescuing Diana.

This story continues as told through Patricks eyes, his memories while growing up, the boyhood adventures with his friends by the fort and Petes Pond to his grammar and high school days and the characters he encounters. Rather than going directly from high school to college his life had other plans in the form of serving for America in the Korean War. Again fate through a detour in the form of an eye injury suffered. That wasnt so good in the short term but it allowed him to form a relationship with his nurse, Erin. He from Massachusetts and Erin Toles from neighboring Maine and once the pair return to the states, after a period of separation the two reunited in a special way. Now married, the couple raised 3 children, twin sons Patrick and Michael and the youngest, daughter Erica. To earn a family income Erin resumed her nursing career by Mercy Hospital and Pat pursued his love of writing at the local paper Massachusetts Courier Express which was a perfect fit. The following years he wrote articles and columns about the events occurring in the real world and those were intertwined with stories, happenings in his personal life. Like all people he experienced both highs and lows. The accomplishments he and his family enjoyed, the births, and the deaths of those important to him and the discoveries. He always suspected his neighbor was odd and strange, but never imagined living next to a murderer and finding a grandson he never even knew existed.
