The longest road : to hell and back again from addiction to advocacy / by Calendino, Joe,author.; Little, Gary,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Recovery is the longest road toward a better future. So says Joe Calendino, former full-patch Hells Angel and now award-winning youth community leader. In The Longest Road, Calendino remembers his journey to rock bottom, when he spiralled out of control, consumed by drugs and alcohol, ending up strung out and desperate in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Now, as executive director of Yo Bro Yo Girl Youth Initiative, it's his mission to protect at-risk youth from that same fate. In The Longest Road, Calendino keeps it raw and real -- he's the first to admit that his path to advocacy has been anything but straight. From the Hells Angels clubhouse to the darkest crack dens to the scene of a recent life-changing accident, Calendino reveals all his remarkable moments of struggle, intervention, recovery and redemption. Written with Calendino's trusted confidant and former high school counsellor Gary Little, and building on their first book together, To Hell and Back, this new memoir shares not just Calendino's story but also the stories of the hidden angels who saved his life and those of the young people he now strives to help. There are families who have lost loved ones to overdose, friends whose habits have landed them in gangs or in jail, and the call to action of a community that needs help, healing and hope -- now more than ever. With this page-turning memoir, Calendino shows he is living proof that sometimes all it takes is someone believing in you to completely change your life."--

Fear is just a word : a missing daughter, a violent cartel, and a mother's quest for vengeance / by Ahmed, Azam,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."This unputdownable book weaves together two stories: the story of a courageous mother, and the story of the rise of drug cartels and of violence in Mexico. The story begins on an international bridge between Mexico and the U.S. Miriam Rodriguez is stalking one of the men who murdered her daughter. He is a member of the Zeta drug cartel that now controls what was once Miriam's quiet hometown of San Fernando, near the U.S. border. Having dyed her hair red and wearing a disguise, Miriam single-handedly orchestrates the arrest of this man, one of the many men she has targeted and gotten arrested for the murder of her daughter, Karen. Moving back and forth in time, this deeply researched account reveals how the drug cartels built their power in Mexico; how the Zeta cartel took over the quiet town of San Fernando, with its crucial geographic location for drug smuggling, near a crossroads to the US border; and how the cartels--for money, power and control--kidnap and murder victims. Miriam's daughter, Karen, was just one of the many people disappeared by the cartels. Miriam, a brilliant and perseverant woman, begins a vigilante crusade to target Karen's killers, and then to help other victimized families seek justice. Eventually, the success of Miriam's investigation techniques and her activism on behalf of other families lead to her being murdered by the cartel. Then, her son, Luis, finds his mother's briefcase with the names of other targets and her investigation techniques, and quietly continues to pursue justice for his family and for the families of other victims of violence in Mexico"--
