25 to Life is the fifth and latest installment in the Jack Bertolino series, written by John Lansing in the propulsive, cinematic, page-turning style he has become known for. Gloria Millhouse, a beautiful African American law student, is working with Project for the Innocent. She has done extensive research on inmate Carl Forbes, who she believes was wrongfully arrested, convicted and incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit, the sexual assault and brutal murder of a teenage girl in Los Angeles twenty-three years ago. Gloria dies in a car crash on Malibu Canyon Road after questioning powerful, politically-connected men who were witnesses at Carl's trial and knew the victim personally. Private investigator Jack Bertolino is brought on to discover the truth behind Gloria's death. Was her crash simply a random accident or a conspiracy to prevent the courts from reopening the case and granting Carl Forbes a new trial? Jack believes that Gloria was murdered, and as the body count rises, it becomes clear that if Jack can find Gloria's killer, he will also find the man responsible for the teenager's assault and murder. And Carl Forbes can walk out of prison a free man.

Just six months after graduating college and starting her young professional life in New York City, Calais Zagarow Schroeder's 26-year-old sister Briel was diagnosed with Stage III Colorectal Cancer. Over the subsequent four years, Calais navigated the juxtaposition of supporting her family through Briel's illness and treatment while also undertaking her own journey of self-discovery. A Life In Between is Calais' testimony on the personal, and yet also universal, experience of loving, losing and continuing to live in the face of prolonged trauma and grief. Zagarow Schroeder's rich, moving prose gives voice to the human experience of the unpredictable relational swings that unfold in the face of an unwanted ending. For those who have had to push through their own periods of grief, this memoir is the story of learning to live in the in-between of joy and sorrow, hope and loss, and how embracing the grey "in between" can set you free.
