A dark secret lies in Alium, Mississippi. Canaan Evans, a sixteen-year-old, grew up in Alium, where it is a town out of time. It was run by the Ku Klux Klan. Most of his life, he believed their every word, until a visit to his grandparents in Tennessee changed his life. He was exposed to the love of God and his view of all the other races. Canaan returned home on fire for God and sharing the gospel with everyone. While he spreads the good news, he finds himself in love with an African American girl named Hayden Williams. When Canaan finally gets the courage to confess his feelings, he is asked to go undercover to find out about a strange plan cooked up by the Klan. He agrees after he tells her his heart, but on one condition: that she be his anchor. Life in his new role is causing him to teeter on his beliefs in God and the lies of the Klan. Will Canaan be able to keep his sanity as he goes undercover?

This book is a detailed oral history of early San Pedro punk, from 1977 to 1985, told through countless interviews with artists, locals and fans, all of whom lived there or lived through it. Topics include iconic gigs by bands the Minutemen, Black Flag, the Descendents, and lesser-known but highly original and fascinating artists; personal interviews with the major players, friends and families; and descriptions of the nightlife haunts and hangouts, all told through never-before-published thoughts, memories, and opinions from that seminal time. The interviews are woven together in a firsthand narrative of this innovative music and arts scene, often dismissed as too remote, too artsy, and too experimental for the prevailing hardcore and rock scenes of the time. Years later, this book provides fascinating details of the iconic scene now sought after by music and history fans and those interested in the hidden gems of Los Angeles culture of the '70s and '80s.

The #1 New York Times bestseller! Washington D.C. might be loathed from every corner of the nation, yet these are fun and busy days at this nexus of big politics, big money, big media, and big vanity. There are no Democrats and Republicans anymore in the nation's capital, just millionaires. Through the eyes of Leibovich we discover how the funeral for a beloved newsman becomes the social event of the year; how political reporters are fetishized for their ability to get their names into the predawn e-mail sent out by the city's most powerful and puzzled-over journalist; how a disgraced Hill aide can overcome ignominy and maybe emerge with a more potent "brand" than many elected members of Congress. And how an administration bent on "changing Washington" can be sucked into the ways of This Town with the same ease with which Tea Party insurgents can, once elected, settle into it like a warm bath. Outrageous, fascinating, and very necessary, This Town is a must-read whether you're inside the highway which encircles DC - or just trying to get there.
