Hiding in Plain Sight is not another war story or celebration of strength-it's a brutally honest account of how thirty years of service as a veteran and first responder slowly dismantled one man's identity, marriage, and sense of self. Doug White opens up about post-traumatic stress injuries, emotional collapse, and the fallout of a life spent serving others while ignoring his own breaking points. But this isn't a story about trauma-it's a story about growth, honesty, and the long road back to being whole.

I 1998 begyndte politiassistent Hans Haahr på Grønland en hemmelig og uofficiel efterforskning af en ung piges død i Nuuk i julen 1997. »Morakker« fører læseren ind i det lukkede grønlandske politisystem og fortæller om dets uskrevne regler og krav og den misforståede loyalitet mellem betjentene, der i dette tilfælde blev prioriteret højere end retfærdighed for en ung piges død.

Elizabeth Vartkessian works with criminal defense teams as a mitigation specialist. She isn't part of an Innocence Project; her clients are legally guilty, often of terrible crimes.

Her unique experience has taught her that when personal or generational trauma enters the body, it finds its way out eventually, sometimes through violence.

My story begins in a pop-up trailer—no electricity, no running water—born to parents who dropped out of high school and carried the weight of our family’s excommunication from the Sicilian Mafia. I came into the world premature, delivered by a veterinarian, clinging to life while doctors warned I’d never catch up. Crime and tragedy run through my bloodline: moonshining, sexual abuse, attempted manslaughter. My father struck deals with the Mexican Cartel and still battles opioid addiction.
