The Whistleblower's Dilemma: Snowden, Silkwood and Their Quest for the Truth

"In June of 2013, Edward Snowden, a twenty-nine-year-old former CIA employee, leaked thousands of top-secret National Security Agency (NSA) documents to journalist Glen Greenwald. Branded as a whistleblower, Snowden reignited a debate about private citizens who reveal government secrets that should be exposed but may endanger the lives of others. Like the late Karen Silkwood, whose death in a car accident while bringing incriminating evidence against her employer to a meeting with a New York Times reporter is still a mystery, Snowden was intent upon revealing the controversial practices of his employer, a government contractor. Rightly or wrongly, Snowden and Silkwood believed that their revelations would save lives. In his riveting, thought-provoking book, Richard Rashke weaves between the lives of these two controversial figures and creates a narrative context for a discussion of what constitutes a citizen's duty to reveal or not to reveal."

Deep in the Heart: Three Rivers Cowboys, Book 3

"He's got something to prove to his brother and father. She's just trying to save the endangered owls that nest on his family's ranch. Dawson Rhinehart doesn't want to deal with the gorgeous Wildlife Conservation Officer, but Caroline Thompson isn't going away. Will he burn all the bridges between them before he realizes just how sweet a relationship with her could be? Dawson has always been the strong, silent type, managing the books and the administrative burdens of his family's sprawling Texas ranch in Three Rivers. Determined to prove his worth, Dawson is meticulous in keeping everything lined up and running well. He's got almost no experience with women, but plenty with horses, dogs, and the wild crows who bring him gifts. Caroline Thompson has been badgering Dawson about the paperwork for a species of protected owls for months. She doesn't understand why the grumpy cowboy can't just fill it out. Oh, probably because he's gruff and arrogant, and she's had quite enough experience with cowboys like him, thank you very much. When they end up at the same table at their small-town breakfast, she finds the hashbrowns are cold and limp, and she almost loses her mind. Dawson says, 'Come with me,' and she leaves her sister and niece to go with him to his cabin on the Rhinehart Ranch, where she sees pieces of him that make her think there's more to him than good looks, a bark, a glare, and pure stubbornness. And when his brother sends a picture of the barred owls now nesting on their ranch, she knows she's going to be spending a lot more time with him. The sparks between them could start a prairie fire, but her sister is going through a divorce and needs a lot of support. So Caroline really doesn't have the time or patience to deal with Dawson, examine her extreme attraction to him, or try to figure out if the pieces of him he lets her see could add up to something good between them. Something really good. Can Caroline open her heart enough to let Dawson in, or will she let her past dictate her future? In Deep in the Heart, passion, wildlife conservation, and family legacy blend into a heartwarming tale of love found in the most stubborn of places. Journey to Three Rivers in this small-town saga romance where the legacy of the past meets the promise of the future. Connect with beloved characters and fall in love with a cowboy in the Three Rivers Romance series!"
