Speak Don't Stare
After spending a lifetime with a rare condition, Sarah Bowdidge is used to being stared at. From being watched in public, to being followed on the street, attention from passers-by is the norm.

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy
From 1972-1978, thirty-three young men were kidnapped, murdered, and buried in a crawl space beneath their killer's house. And no one was the wiser. Not for all those years. Why?

Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy peels back the twisted layers of Gacy's life while weaving in heartrending stories of his victims; exploring the grief, guilt, and trauma of their families and friends; and exposing the systemic failures, missed opportunities, and societal prejudices that fueled his reign of terror.
