" Among the darkest corners of Kentucky’s past are the grisly feuds that tore apart the hills of Eastern Kentucky from the late nineteenth century until well into the twentieth. Now, from the tangled threads of conflicting testimony, John Ed Pearce, Kentucky’s best known journalist, weaves engrossing accounts of six of the most notorior accounts to uncover what really happened and why. His story of those days of darkness brings to light new evidence, questions commonly held beliefs about the feuds, and us and long-running feuds—those in Breathitt, Clay Harlan, Perry, Pike, and Rowan counties. What caused the feuds that left Kentucky with its lingering reputation for violence? Who were the feudists, and what forces—social, political, financial—hurled them at each other? Did Big Jim Howard really kill Governor William Goebel? Did Joe Eversole die trying to protect small mountain landowners from ruthless Eastern mineral exploiters? Did the Hatfield-McCoy fight start over a hog? For years, Pearce has interviewed descendants of feuding families and examined skimpy court records and often fictional newspapeputs to rest some of the more popular legends.

As the host of the immensely popular America's Most Wanted, John Walsh has been instrumental in the capture of nearly four hundred and fifty of this country's most dangeroues fugitives. However, few know the full story of the personal tragedy behind his public crusade: the 1981 abduction and murder of his six-year-old son, Adam. Here, for the first time, Walsh, his wife Revé, and their closest friends tell the wrenching tale of Adam's death -- and the infuriating conspiracy of events that have kept America's No. 1 crime fighter from obtaining justice and closure for himself and his family. "I've never really spoken about these things to anyone before, but I want to talk about Adam before he died. I want people to know just exactly how horrible it is to lose your child, how painful it is. But I also want to talk about how people can help you, and how you can help yourself. About how to come to terms with life when you think you're dying of a broken heart." -- John Walsh "I remember thinking, 'our son's been murdered, and now we've got to be the ones to do something about it' It was a sad thing for this country that the fight had to be led by two broken-down parents of a murdered child. But we had to, because no one else was going to do it." -- Revé Walsh

My Life at the Cemetery: It's Not as Dead as You Think is a selection of entertaining and moving stories gleaned from the 12 years author Sandra Kay Doyle worked in the deathcare industry. Some of these stories will make you laugh out loud. Others will elicit tears. Still others will leave you shaking your head in amazement at the wide range of human behavior that rears its head during the stressful times surrounding the death of a loved one. One thing's for sure: death brings out not only the best in people, but also the absolute worst. You'll learn the importance of pre-planning arrangements for your own or a loved one's transition from this world and how doing so will help you sidestep the emotional stress and turmoil that can occur without it. We willingly make plans for our education, careers, weddings, and retirement, but it's a rare person indeed who plans ahead for death. Because death is simply a part of the cycle of life, talking about it and planning for it can bring about healing before the event occurs. "This book is warm and touching and will make you laugh and cry." Mary Morrissey, Bestselling Author and founder of Brave Thinking Institute
