A Gift of Hope: The Tony Melendez Story
by Tony Melendez Mel WhiteFrom the Publisher: The inspiring story of a young thalidomide victim and talented musician who has gained international recognition. Wonderful reading for anyone--especially those facing seemingly insurmountable difficulties. ... This is a beautifully, and positively, written autobiography. Melendez neither downplays his and his family's struggles resulting from his lack of arms, nor does he whine about them. Writing about his father, "Still, he knew that only in America would he find the kind of medical treatment I needed, so he put his own dreams aside and began to dream for me. He was young, strong, and determined to provide for each of us-but especially, I believe, for me. Imagine his growing frustration as he tried to support us on the minimum wage jobs that he could find. And there was no extra time or money to train in another field. [In Nicaragua, he was educated and accomplished in the fields of agriculture and animal husbandry.] Instead, he found himself in a huge pool of cheap labor as more and more unskilled young people migrated to America."

Angel of Death: The Charles Cullen Story
by George MairCharles Cullen preferred working the hospital graveyard shift, safe from _ the prying eyes of those who might interfere with his mission of mercy or remember him afterwards. His spotless record, at times only registering his start and exit dates, failed to give any indication of the poisoning death of 30-40 patients that he would later admit to, and the full out investigation his confession would spark-- requiring inquiries into more than 500 cases...one of the largest serial killer investigations in history. The warning signs were there, but ignored to the fatal sorrow of many, as his repeated suicide attempts and resulting commitments to psychiatric hospitals were still not enough to keep him away from the bedsides of the sick and vulnerable. There were whispered suspicions but the fear of a slander lawsuit kept Cullen's unstable behavior from other potential employers, and kept him around to quietly administer lethal doses of poison to the loved ones left in his care. It wasn't until the murder of a priest that authorities discovered Charles Cullen's attempts at playing God. Their investigation turned up horrors, as bodies were exhumed and a serial killer was unmasked. Convinced he was easing the pain of others, an angel of death roamed loose down hallways meant for healing, fiendishly proud of his power over life itself.
