From New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman comes a gripping contemporary true crime narrative for everyone fascinated by the Murdaugh murders, about Nathan Carman, who was found floating on a raft in the North Atlantic and was later accused of murdering his mother to gain access to his family's fortune. The sun’s reflection danced atop the choppy waters 115 nautical miles south of Martha’s Vineyard as the gigantic freighter Orient Lucky, weighed down by tons of iron and metal scrap materials, sailed over the 9,000 foot deep Alvin Canyon, better known to mariners as the graveyard of the North Atlantic, when the captain spotted a small life raft floating in the water. On the raft was amateur fisher Nathan Carman, who claimed to have gone out for a fishing trip with his mother when his boat sank seven days earlier. But Carman was in remarkably good shape for being lost at sea for a week, and holes soon began to appear in his story. The mysterious death of Carman’s multi-millionaire grandfather months before had made his mother a wealthy woman. And now that she was missing and presumed dead, Carman stood to inherit a massive amount of money. In May 2023, federal prosecutors charged him with the murders of his grandfather and his mother, and he died of apparent suicide in prison in June 2023. " Blood in the Water is utterly immersive. Casey Sherman is a master true crime storyteller. Like always, he brings characters to life which makes it hard to tear yourself away from the page!" — Zibby Owens, host of Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books, best-selling author of Blank ABOUT THE AUTHOR Casey Sherman is a New York Times Bestselling Author of 13 books including The Finest Hours (now a major motion picture starring Casey Affleck & Chris Pine), Boston Strong (the basis for the film Patriots Day starring Mark Wahlberg), and Hunting Whitey . Sherman is also the author of 12, Search for the Strangler, Animal, Bad Blood, Black Irish, Black Dragon, Above & Beyond, and The Ice Bucket Challenge . Sherman is a contributing writer for TIME, Esquire, Washington Post, Boston Herald, and Boston Magazine, and has appeared as a guest an analyst on more than 100 television news programs. Sherman is a graduate of Barnstable High School (Cape Cod), Fryeburg Academy (Fryeburg, ME) and Boston University. Information Source: Wellesley Books | eventbrite

ABOUT THE BOOK A remarkable, decimating work of reporting by award-winning journalist and priest Cristina Rathbone about asylum seekers trapped at a port of entry to the US: the trauma they carry, the community they create, and the faith they maintain. The Asylum Seekers offers a rare narrative account of the horror of the US-Mexico border. Borders run through author Cristina Rathbone too, whose mother was a Cuban refugee. So in 2019 she travels to Juarez, unsure what to do but determined to learn. Weaving intimate portraits of individuals with broader stories about the community, reporting from the border as a whole, and reflections on the meaning of faith in a place of suffering, Rathbone tells the story of Mexican asylum seekers living in a makeshift tent camp at the foot of a bridge. Life in the camp is both hectic and harrowing. Families arrive. Families leave. Families get through to the US. Families are returned from the US. Women weep, children squabble, and grown men sob over photographs of their murdered sons' mutilated bodies. Here too, however, are beauty, and empathy, and hope. Over time, a leadership team emerges. The community begins to convene daily meetings, establish systems of distribution for donations, and start classes for the kids. Serving as an unofficial chaplain, Rathbone is there through it all: listening, receiving, assisting, and most of all learning about what authentic faith looks like under conditions such as these. Written in the tradition of My Fourth Time, We Drowned and Rivermouth , The Asylum Seekers renders in startling, intimate detail the day-to-day lives of people who are determined to enter the US legally and who often suffer for it. The result is a fierce, poignant inquiry into the dignity of those who seek asylum--and into what we owe each other. "The Asylum Seekers shines with a kind of moral clarity that illuminates not only the horrific effects of the United States immigration system on individuals, families, and children, but the personal toll of working alongside those affected. A must-read." –Alejandra Oliva, author of Rivermouth ABOUT THE AUTHOR Cristina Rathbone is an award-winning journalist, Episcopal priest, and spiritual director. She is the author of On the Outside Looking In: A Year in an Inner-City High School and A World Apart: Women, Prisons, and Life Behind Bars . In partnership with Episcopal Migration Ministries, she founded Neighbor to Neighbor, a national network that supports congregations as they accompany newly arrived asylum seekers. Rathbone is the mother of two sons and lives in Massachusetts. (Photo credit: John Earle) Information Source: Wellesley Books | eventbrite
