But when irrefutable evidence to the contrary is found in an old journal, his memories are reawakened and Derek is forced to confront--and try to understand--his role in a significant act of deception from his past.

Summary of Derek DelGaudio's AMORALMAN
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was a card mechanic hired by the house to pose as a professional dealer and cheat its customers. I made sure they went bust. I was having trouble finishing what we had started several hours earlier. My boss was annoyed that it was taking so long to collect. #2 I was forced to deal with the cold hands problem, which was caused by my body’s fight-or-flight response. I was dealing with a brute who was trying to sell a gun to me. I ignored the awkwardness and began gathering up the cards. #3 I was a bust-out dealer in a casino, and I saw something extraordinary in that house. I was twenty-five years old when I worked as a bust-out dealer. It was a brief chapter in my life, less than six months, but it was the education of a lifetime. #4 I was 11 years old, riding in the passenger seat of my mother’s truck, when I was given a twenty-dollar bill. I took the money and kept it, even though I didn’t need it. My mother gave me the five dollars and told me I could keep it because I was honest with her.

The Words That Made Us
A history of the American Constitution's formative decades from a preeminent legal scholar When the US Constitution won popular approval in 1788, it was the culmination of thirty years of passionate argument over the nature of government. But ratification hardly ended the conversation. For the next half century, ordinary Americans and statesmen alike continued to wrestle with weighty questions in the halls of government and in the pages of newspapers. Should the nation's borders be expanded? Should America allow slavery to spread westward? What rights should Indian nations hold? What was the proper role of the judicial branch? In The Words that Made Us, Akhil Reed Amar unites history and law in a vivid narrative of the biggest constitutional questions early Americans confronted, and he expertly assesses the answers they offered. His account of the document's origins and consolidation is a guide for anyone seeking to properly understand America's Constitution today.
Live Wire
An instant New York Times bestseller from Kelly Ripa—a sharp, funny, and honest collection of real-life stories showing the many dimensions and crackling wit of the beloved daytime talk show host. In Live Wire, her first book, Kelly shows what really makes her tick. As a professional, as a wife, as a daughter and as a mother, she brings a hard-earned wisdom and an eye for the absurdity of life to every minute of every day. It is her relatability in all of these roles that has earned her fans worldwide and millions of followers on social media. Whether recounting how she and Mark really met, the level of chauvinism she experienced on set, how Jersey Pride follows her wherever she goes, and many, many moments of utter mortification (whence she proves that you cannot, in fact, die of embarrassment) Kelly always tells it like it is. Ms. Ripa takes no prisoners. Surprising, at times savage, a little shameless and always with humor… Live Wire shows Kelly as she really is offscreen—a very wise woman who has something to say.
