A thrilling sports story, Men in White is the tale of the young athletes who defied the doomsayers and rescued Penn State's football program from the horrors of the Jerry Sandusky scandal-told by the players themselves.
On November 5, 2011, the news that Jerry Sandusky had been charged with forty counts of child molestation rocked Penn State's leafy campus, unseating the university president, the athletic director, and head coach Joe Paterno-devastating the football program he had erected and diligently maintained over half a century.
Men in White recounts the saga of the student athletes who elected to stay and rebuild the program in the face of crippling NCAA sanctions, blistering heat from the outraged media, and radio silence from the adults in the school's administration.
With the once proud program in free fall and their personal fortunes in peril, these young men refused to back down, toiling for five long seasons to rehabilitate the program and its ideals, culminating in the stirring come-from-behind defeat of Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game. Their story echoes that of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, a cast of young men-colossal underdogs-who boldly accepted the challenge of a lifetime, achieving success while shouldering the weight of a bruising political drama.
With revealing, never-before-told stories, Fred C. Trump III, nephew of President Donald Trump, breaks his decades-long silence in this honest memoir and sheds a whole new light on the family name.
For the record.Fred Trump never asked for any of this. The divisive politics. The endless headlines. A hijacked last name. The heat-seeking uncle, rising from real estate scion to gossip column fixture to The Apprentice host to President of the United States. Fred just wanted a happy life and a satisfying career. But a fight for his son's health and safety forced him onto a center stage that he had never wanted. And now, at a crucial point for our nation, he is stepping forward again.
In All in the Family, Fred delves into his journey to become a "different kind of Trump," detailing his passionate battle to protect his wife and children from forces inside and outside the family. From the Trump house to the White House, Fred comes to terms with his own complex legacy and faces some demons head-on. It's a story of power, love, money, cruelty, and the unshakable bonds of family, played out underneath a glaring media spotlight.
All in the Family is the inside story, as it's never been told.

In POETA, Pelumi Olatinpo draws on his experiences to explore the struggles of immigrants, the brutal reality of racism, and other outrage issues. His tool for raising awareness is the soneta. What makes this poetic form not only innovative but genuinely revolutionary:
Brevity and Impact: In six lines, with a maximum of ten words per line, the sonata distills raw emotion and complex ideas, demanding the reader’s full attention.
Versatility: From war and oppression to love and resilience, the soneta confronts the full spectrum of human experience.
A Weapon for Change: The soneta's intensity makes it the perfect tool to expose injustice, spark dialogue, and inspire action.
Bridging Divides: The sonata invites blending languages and cultures, promoting understanding and connection in a fractured world.
Unfolding across six movements, POETA paints a visceral and unflinching portrait of our world, weaving a thread of urgency and hope:
“Monsoon”: Chaos and destruction mirror the fragility of life.
“Wildfire”: A blazing confrontation of racism, oppression, poverty, and hate.
“Drought”: The relentless horrors of war, including the war in Gaza, and their senseless toll.
“Eclipse”: A chilling descent into darkness and despair.
“Blossom”: The struggle towards redemption, rebirth, and freedom.
“Prisma”: A traditional sonnet form offering a kaleidoscopic meditation on love and the possibility of salvation.
